Back from France lastnight. Just arrived in work to be greeted by a backlog of work and a weeks bills on my desk, oh and a cd too! I'll give it a listen later on, but already the thought of Bakerman has cheered me up.

[jebus]

Good man for including Santogold, Shadow and Cornershop tracks, all good 'uns too :) Haven't listened to the last 5 tracks but am driving down to Cork later on so it shall be stuck on and listened to thoroughly

8. Laid Back - Bakerman

I have a 7" of Sunshine Reggae somewhere at home. Great tune. Never saw the band, any videos etc... who'd have thunk they were a pair of blonde Danish lads? :D

[noby]

Laidback was on heavy rotation on MTV at the time. The video was basically the band (I guess) skydiving singing and playing the keyboards and sax. I'm sure they were miming though.:)

I grew up in 2 channel land. Never got to see MTV til I started knobbing posh totty in my late teens. :cool:

I think I always imagined Laid Back as a bunch of Don Letts' :D

skydiving

Mmmm, skydiving while listening to "Bakerman". Could there be a more pleasant, pacifying thought?



Enjoyed 'my' songs Stan. Hadn't heard the last two so that was good. Particularly liked the lovely ambient closure, a ploy I had in my draft (also had some Cornershop so slight tweaking may be in order). Of the new-to-me tracks the Ty one is proving the most irresistible, and not just for the nod to Ronnie Whelan. Overall, a joy, and certainly no need to be self-deprecating. No decline in stanndards here. :)

[SligoBrewer]

Lads, I'm throwing in a song specially for Stann and Kingdom Hoop. It's not easy listening by any means.

Does anyone else want the song? It's not going to be for everyone's liking I know!
Specially Jebus and his Tom Waits!:p

[kingdom hoop]

While flattered at the thought there's really no need to approach a song with that attitude Mr Brewer. If you like it, just lash it in with righteous conviction. That's the beauty of the whole idea I think. As it happens I don't think you need have many such worries. Definitely not Jebus anyway, the psy-trance-loving vegan freak. :)

I must say you have me intrigued now though. What is this song - a 10 minute didgeridoo solo?

[noby]

Do your worst, SB. What's the worst that can happen? Someone doesn't like the song?
What harm.


On Stann's cd, I managed to give the first half a good listen, and really liked a few songs there that I hadn't heard before, like Close Lobster and Pet. I hadn't heard that Jack Rubies song in a long time, probably since 120 minutes. Enjoying it so far.

[Block G Raptor]

Haven't had the chance to listen to Declining Stanndards yet but will stick it on this evening. looking forward to it as I'm not familiar with most of the tracks on it.
SB stick the track on if we like it we like it if not so what

[noby]

Okay, so I had seen Santagold on Jools Holland a while back, but it's definitely the song of the weekend round ours. So, is there an album, and is it worth getting?

[stann]

There is an album of the same name, but it's still on my list of things to get so I don't know how good it is. Getting good reviews though I think, and she's all matey with the likes of Spank Rock, Switch, Diplo and MIA so that should say enough...

Here's her myspace (http://www.myspace.com/santogold) anyway, can't open it at work but IIRC there's a few decent tunes there.

Glad you liked the Jack Rubies BTW, surprised you can remember it TBH. That and the Two Culture Clash tunes I thought nobody would have heard.
Ta for all the kind words all, looking forward to this weeks now...

[thischarmingman]

Lads, I'll try and get my CD's out at the weekend for early next week. I just have a lot on this week. Hope that's ok.

[Block G Raptor]

I gave Declining Stanndards a listen y-day. gotta say It's not really to my taste but could be a grower so I'm not giving up on it yet*. That says more for my lack of musical knowledge/taste than any fault in stanns choices


*Bearing in mind I thought OK Computer was cr@p after the first play thorough:o

[jebus]

Not a bother. Anyone want to step in and post theirs tomorrow?

[stann]

*Bearing in mind I thought OK Computer was cr@p after the first play thorough:o

You're right though, OK Computer is crap. :p
Nah I thought there might be a clash of tastes with yourself alright, ah well, that's what this kind of thing is all about.

I thought SligoBrewer was all set up to go this week? Slipping back in for tcm?

Yeah, there you go. (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=975237&postcount=196) And he acknowledged it too, so no excuses if they're not already winging their way around the country! :D

[Lionel Ritchie]

Not a bother. Anyone want to step in and post theirs tomorrow?

I believe I'm on in week 8 which may actually clash with my summer hols. I'll get my ready to go now if ye like.

[sligoman]

Tenner says Brewer's will be the worst CD of the bunch?;)

[Lionel Ritchie]

Yeah, there you go. (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=975237&postcount=196) And he acknowledged it too, so no excuses if they're not already winging their way around the country! :D

Ah right you are.


Tenner says Brewer's will be the worst CD of the bunch?
I'll take your tenner!;)

[noby]

Well, as long as someone is doing this week...

[SligoBrewer]

They'll be going out in the post friday evening.


All burned, just a lack of envelopes is letting me down.:o

[stann]

Grrrrrrrrr!!!! :mad:
They'd better be good! :p

[SligoBrewer]

SligoBrewer Posted the CD's on friday at 1pm.

Two Cd's don't have the last track dues to iTunes and their drm so I'll be emailing it to both parties.

[thischarmingman]

Mine will be going out on Mon night...

[SligoBrewer]

Did anyone get the cd's?

[Lionel Ritchie]

Did anyone get the cd's?

Got it and am half way through it. Commentary to follow. Very much liking track 2.

[jebus]

Did anyone get the cd's?

Not yet, but mine always seem to come a day later than everyone elses, knew I shouldn't have made all those terrorist threats when I was drunk *kicks stone and walks away with hands in pockets*

[stann]

Got it today, Brewer, will be giving it a good listen tomorrow.
Very much liking the look of the tracklisting, whets the appetite in a very good way. Lot of tracks too, is it mixed? Will find out soon enough I suppose.

[SligoBrewer]

It is mixed to a certain extent.

The first group of songs are mainly of the arctic monkeys mould, followed by an interlude into slower gentler songs for a while. Then there's the mash up to bring you into mild electro. Nothing too hardcore. Cept for Crystal Castles. Then there's some Bruce to wrap it up followed by the encore that is CC vs Klaxons remix. :D

[noby]

Listened to the first eight or nine in the car yesterday - not bad, a few stand-out tracks for me.
Of course, I had to skip to the last one to see if it would live up to the hype!

Nothing wrong with a bit of hardcore electro. :)
Liking the first half so far, a lot of top tunes from the last while on there, plus a couple I'd not heard. Thumbs ^.
Am looking forward to the rest on the way home tonight, but unlike noby I refuse to be tempted to read the ending. :D

[noby]

I have no self-discipline. I begin every book by reading the last paragraph.

[kingdom hoop]

I begin every book by reading the last paragraph.

In the case at hand that's what I've just had to do; no chance to listen to it 'til now and have to give Brewer some acknowledgement.

So yeah, Brewer I've just been leppin' around the kitchen to the killer-base-lined encore (well ok, it was more affected prancing, but anyway). And I can safely say, having skipped to the end, this CD is worth going through with, undoubtedly a happy ending, no broken hearts 'round here. ;) (betcha loved what I did there! :D.) I'll give a more inclusive response anon, but I'm familiar with and like most songs from the "Heartbeats" remix on so I'm sure aural delight awaits from the opening Arctic Monkeys salvo to the Klaxons' last paragraph. :)


FAO Lionel: Do you want to treat us to your mélange of magnificence next week if you're away the week after? Otherwise, and assuming thischarmingman sent his out yesterday or Monday, I think I'm up.

Lads, I'll be sending mine out tonight. I'm really sorry for the delay, especially given how prompt all of you have been with your CD's. It's not that I haven't bothered my ass getting around to it, just had a bit of a crisis the last couple of weeks at home and haven't had much time for anything at all, let alone burning 8/9 CDs. The album will be in the post tonight and you'll soon be hearing all 22 of it's carefully selected tracks. I had the track listing 3 weeks ago and only made one change to it when I looked at it again recently since, so I'm confident with my selections (Although I'll blatantly change my mind as soon as I've posted them.) :o

[jebus]

Two thumbs up from me Brewer, my favourite mix CD so far. Have a few of the tracks already, but that doesn't diminish from a quality line up :)

Have a fantastic Erol Alkan mix of that Teenagers tracks that I was thinking of including on my next CD, so not sure if this has pushed me more towards including it or not. Great stuff altogether though Brewer :)

No worries on the delay charmingman, life was always going to intrude along the way

[thischarmingman]

Thanks, they are now finally on their way.

Thanks for permitting the queue jumping exploits of the Ritchie Kingdom Hoop.

I'll make 'em up over the weekend and have them in the post Monday/Tuesday.

I'm listening to Sligo Brewers CD as I write and am thoroughly enjoying it. It wasn't the prospect of remixes that had me initially worried so much as the suspicion, having read the tracklist, that this was going to be a bit "young" or "Oxygen" for an ageing rocker like me.

But no -it's great -I'd heard some of the stuff before from the likes of Guillemots and MGMT but it's something of an introduction for me to the likes of The Enemy, The National, Lost Shadow Puppets, Teenagers, Justice!.

That's partly what I wanted to get out of this exercise ...new tunes, new artists.

I suspect mine won't be nearly so contemporary sounding but sure we'll slap it together anyway.

[thischarmingman]

I love Sligo Brewers CD, my far 'hipper' sister thoroughly approved of it and told me these were the bands I should be listening to. She also thnks I'm stuck in the 70's. You have been warned.

[Block G Raptor]

Great Stuff Brewer have it on now a few tracks in and gotta say it's the best so far

[SligoBrewer]

Ragin Sligoman :p

[SligoBrewer]

Here's the last track for Lionel and thischarmingman

and what did one think of the last paragraph?:D


I really liked it actually, or the bit I heard anyway.
I'm not, or never was a 'clubber', but good music is good music.

I haven't listened to the rest yet - a bit of a hectic week.

[sligoman]

stand-outs include MGMT (which I hadn't heard)You hadn't heard Time to Pretend?:eek:.

Jebus, can we discuss a ban from the music forum for stann please;).

Nah just missed it somehow, I don't listen to much radio, especially daytime. Heard it a few times since the CD mind, always the way.

No problem. Kurt and Essy are my middle names after all.



I'm not, or never was a 'clubber'...


Aha. I had been curious whence derived 'Fungarvan'. Presumably if strangely, though approvingly in my book, delights such as boating, scenery, poetry-writing, seaside walks and good restaurants earned the town its alluring moniker rather than boisterous clubs. A town specialising more in the intellectual end of fun then perhaps?
