Julie - The Levellers

Empire - Kasabian

Maybe he or she is just thorough and wants to give it plenty of listens before they comment Thalia. They love the mix so much that they can't stop playing it... ;) at least that's what I hoping about my reviewer anyway... :lol:

Still The Coral.... :cheesy:

Wot? Sure you get the joke... Finland??? FIN-land...??? :facepalm: ahhh hello serious Silas, you lovely man :wacky:

*faints* Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :sweatdrop: he's stroking that budgie !!!!!! :dead: :dead: :dead: [/fangirly]

Whoa-oh a Coral fan? :awesome:

No, Finland :lol: Call me an idiot but i think that's hilarious :laugh3:

Where do fish go on holiday?

Hey frengerinos.....anyone wanna hear a joke..?

:thumbsup: :kiss:

I'll bet Chris can cycle the length of the uk without a hair out of place :lol: It always looks perfect! Even on a bike ;)

Kewl :thumbsup:

Hello helllllooooo....quiet in here. Interview with Serge about how he'd spend his last day on earth. Bit bizarre but funny :D And Serge chats to Edith Bowman before the TiTP slot. Again, dunno if it'll play for everyone, but I can rip it if anyone wants. I read some things about the TiTP performance not being that great, despite it being their first headline slot. Seems they had some sound issues and it wasn't as good as the hype had been suggesting :\ edit: Chris and his brother Jason are doing a sponsored cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats in September for Teenage Cancer Trust. This is their website with a little blog of their training and progress and some lovely photos. And a link to the donation page too, hint hint ;) :thumbsup:

BUTTERFLY HOUSE - THE CORAL. Does anyone else like these guys? I wanna rave and rave and rave about this band and this damn near perfect album, but I don't think anyone else cares :bigcry: Seriously, this album is so good; it's been getting rave reviews. The album itself is beautiful but the bonus tracks that come with it are just stunningly gorgeous. Taster

Kloot :awesome: I love that song Can we have a d/load link for this mix soon please. I love that Cherry Ghost song, but I don't have it. This whole mix looks interesting. I wanna listen too :D

D'awwwwwww

Meh.

Hello mixtape-maker, nice to meet you :D I liked it all; in different amounts obviously but overall I really enjoyed listening to it. Thanks :thumbsup: I definately want to check out Mutemath now, and will listen to The National some more. Might even go back an' revisit those Kooks albums :lol: Explosions in The Sky - do they have any vocal stuff or it is all instrumental? I think I'd like to hear more of that too :) btw don't worry about the artwork; I did try to listen to it 'blind' as much as possible. I'm interested to know what artists you discarded now...:cool:

Mew are so gay, that fella sings like a girl. You people only like them cos you think they're attractive. The music's shite too. (We haven't had any hate for a while, just thought I'd invent some.....) :escaping:

^ Ooooh thanks :D

Track 1: Instrumental; mellow guitars then a driving, marching drum kicks in only to fade away again. The whole track builds and fades nicely. Very chilled track, lovely instrumentation. It's just the sort of thing I would listen to, tho it feels a tad overlong. It works well as an instrumental, not missing the vocal at all. Nice track. Track 2: Nice, deep vocal, almost sultry. Solid drumming and ethereal instrumentation. Clever lyrics. It's been a bit of a grower, but now I really like this one. Couldn't help but notice the track/artist info - The National - interesting, cos I was checking these out t'other week. This album is already on my to-buy list, but now it's been bumped higher up the list in terms of priority. Pretty ending. Track 3: This one got me hooked right from the off, mostly cos that driving guitar riff sounds a lot like Tame Impala (altho minus the heavy TI reverb) Then the vocal comes in and it sounds like something from the 90s, kinda britpoppy. Catchy. The guitar, hmmm I love the guitars in this. I'd be interested to learn more about this band. Track 4: Change of pace now, slightly more dull than previous tracks, but still quite good. The guy's vocal kind of drones a little. This has a pre-Britpop feel to it, like a Joy Division feel, that sort of era. Not a bad track, but not really great either. Track 5: The Kooks, yes? I have both their albums but have barely played them, so I don't know this track. Nice, short, harmless little acoustic number about the seaside. Sweet. Track 6: Starts mellow, but builds and adds layers as it grows. I like the changes throughout this track. Interesting lyrics. Nice use of xylaphone. Pace picks up and another vocal pops up. Boy and girl. It's cute. "So, we will become a happy ending". Whoa sudden ending. Track 7: Hmmmm spoken vocal at the beginning and I'm worried it's a rap song, but then a cool guitar kicks in and it's gone all indie. Bit of an unusual one. Not bad, I kinda like it. Track 8: I confess I saw the artwork for this just after d/loading, but I think I'd have clocked Jack White even without the spoiler. White Stripes, no? Again, I have this album but never pay it much attention, so I don't know this song but the piano sounds almost exactely like My Doorbell, so I'm left with that song stuck in my head rather than this one ("I'm thinking about my doorbell, an' when ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it"). It's a decent enough track. I'm not a big fan of his voice tho. Track 9: Slight change of genre, on one hand feels like an Owl City-esque radio-friendly pop song, on the other hand it has shades of Michael Buble in places. Young sounding vocal. Nice, little pop song, I like it, but not sure I'm that bothered to hear more from this artist. Track 10: Style and vocal sounds familar. Is this Hot Chip?? Reminds me of that One Life Stand song. Quite dance-y but has nice piano/strings. Not sure I care much for the guy's vocal, but it's quite a good track. Not something I'd usually go for. Feels like it'd make a good workout track. Track 11: Another nice upbeat track. Great plinky, plonky Jools Holland style piano. Again, not sure I care much for the vocal, his voice seems a bit weak/dull compared to the upbeat music. Good track tho, not bad. Faves: 3, 2 & 6 in that order :D Overall, nice and guitar heavy; a very alternative vibe but with some acoustic and electronic-y stuff in too. Good, interesting mix. I liked it. Thank you mixtape maker, whoever you are :thumbsup:

TONIGHT I'M NOT GONNA WATCH DOCTOR WHO AT ALL

Whoever made my tape put that track on it. (I know cos I read the songtitles :rolleyes:) not heard it before but I kinda like it. I should really get on an' put my review up soon...:dozey: Ah, I fuckin love that song. I used it on ME4 and had to stop myself using it again this time :lol:

The whole Britpop era, when every other song on the radio was decent, guitar music and not so much of this rubbish rn'b drivel. Summer '96 was musically perfect. :D
