I know exactly what you're saying. As soon as I heard the opening note of the synth yesterday my brain went "WANT"! As I have gotten older, my taste have certainly faded towards electronica, pop and house... it's bizarre.

In fact I'm going to listen to it again John Peel style.

I was wracking my brain for an example of a song that affected me like this has; the way it has arrested me in its tracks and pretty much overtaken me with its existence and it's probably "Peach, Plum, Pear" by Joanna Newsom:

Saw her a few months ago in Sydney; I think she's just brilliant. Look out Sapokanikan, Time, as Symptom of Love, Have One on Me, and Waltz of the 101st Lightborne. She's a genius!

anyone willing to volunteer to commit these to a Spotify playlist?

I have an assignment due at 6. So of course I will. :)

Joanna Newsom isn't on Spotify fully.

So that's done. I'll fill; it up as I go with everything I can from the thread over the years.

Also, so this isn't missed out on... CRACKER!!! Friday in a song:

Playlist is called Foot.ie (Just Pick One Song): https://play.spotify.com/user/james....uhpPu9gNkS6usB

When one is climbing with boredom with an assignment so horrific... Jeff Mangum comes along to fix the world.

What a coincidence Nigel, before I went to bed last night I listened to E6 album Fire, one of my all time fav albums, hadn't listened to it fully in about 4 years :) God i love that band, seen them live in London, but i was kicked out early for over exuberant moshing early on so....i.e was phished on jagerbombs

Synthesiser is the anthem of anthems among a fang of us. Well played sir.

Miike Snow - have been a big fan since their 2009 album. If you are new to them, Animal is another great track to check out.

I saw them live in 08 in the Academy in Dublin. Had to leave early as I'd a bus to catch back to Athlone that night. Been meaning to catch them live ever since again. How they actually get away with most of the lyrical content of the songs is amazing in itself!

I never understood why Dylan is regarded so highly, I have listened to his songs but there is nothing special at all just standard middle of the road imo, maybe its just me.

And me.

Song of the year contender by Tuath. This is an incredible song and video.

Today, I'm releasing my own debut single from an EP I've coming up in a few weeks time.

All proceeds from the EP and a planned launch night are to go to the formation of a Pieta House service in Donegal which is badly lacking currently.

All music, instruments and voice done by myself and video and editing by myself.
