Excellent work noby, have the end of it to come on the way home from work today, but brilliant so far.
Some songs I love, some I haven't heard in years, some I haven't heard yet, and some I've never even heard of - hoping mine is exactly like that.
Love that Pelle Carlberg tune, really top stuff! Dexy's, B&S, The Kinks, all highlights, and The Fall and KLF to look forward to yet. That Jimmy Soul one is just genius though. :D
Glad you enjoyed it (or the first half at least).
Didn't get mine yet :( No bother if it doesn't arrive cause I can get Wangball to burn me a copy. Looking forward to it, judging on the playlist, tooQuote:

Nobys has been in the car stereo all week. I used llisten to Rise and Shine on heavy rotation back in the days when I was in training for Wrist Of Fury '95.
Very much like the Ballboy tune as well.
I shudder to think what kind of depraved sex competition you were involved in back in your youth Lionel, I really do. :)Quote:

Who's up this week?
Me.
'The Foot.ie Sessions Vol 4: Declining Stanndards' is in the offing.
Have them all done and parcelled up ready to post out tomorrow, unusually prompt for me actually.
No flash cover though, through a combination of artistic bankruptcy, technical incompetence, and the only colour printer at work being broken! :D
Anyway, might as well do the sneak preview now.
Am happy enough with it on the whole. Nothing weird there, but should be a lot of stuff many of ye won't have heard before, and at least two that nobody has even heard of hopefully, one or two that might jog some pleasant memories, plus a couple or three real classics.
Lot of guitar stuff, few dance tracks at the end for Hoop, sharp-dressed mods, hoary old hippies, some screeching Irish rawwwwk, a crossover rave classic, and even a wee mention for Ronnie Whelan.
Oh and a couple that might be labelled Parental Advisory so if you've young kids be advised. :)
It's thischarmingman next, addresses PMed.
Posted this morning as soon as the place opened.
Bit optimistic to think some of ye will have it by this evening, but you never know...
It's an interesting insight into the Irish postal system alright.Quote:

Awh yeah, for me you say, as if those songs were just innocently resting in your collection all this time. :D That's excellent though, I look forward to being entranced, my day endanced, tomorrow. (hopefully they're not actually trance though!)Quote:

:) Love it!
Can I slip back into the running order?
I have my playlist done up from before and I should have all my music back by next week. Thoughts?
Oops, probably shouldn't have built it up like that. One is an old skool classic which you definitely can hop around the floor to, one has a lovely brooding keyboard riff but is hardly floor fodder, and a bit of a downtempo one at the end. Don't get your hopes up!Quote:

Sligobrewer to go next? any objections?
I have an objection. Or suggestion anyway. We should stick to the schedule with thischarmingman going next, just in case Brewer hasn't got the raw materials to ferment the CDs by next week. We can't have any more disappointments. :)
Seeing as he's looking eager let's leave Brewer into the queue for the following week, vol 6. I'll go after, then Lionel, and then Wangball will have the honour of the final leg. Fair enough?
Stann, your CD arrived safe and sound, thank you. Unfortunately if you were hoping for a reaction, my evening's entertainment was instead provided by the surprisingly quite delightful Steeton (Yorkshire) Male Voice Choir (I'm not sure how it happened either) so I haven't had a chance to give Declining Stanndards a spin yet. To retain an element of intrigue I've only given the tracklisting a very quick scan too! Anyway after the massive build-up you've given it I'm sure it'll be great.
Declining Stanndards arrived yesterday evening and has recieved two listens thus far. Thoroughly enjoyed it from the off being a huge Who fan. Different vibe to the previous week which is probably how it should be. Also featured a couple of artists I'd planned on including myself so that's under review now.

Settled so, Brewer is up next. Hope all's well thischarmingmanQuote:

Six tracks in, Declining Stanndards is giving me pleasure. :) Loving "No Yes No" at the moment. Without any doubt in my mind. ;)
thanksQuote:
