Good man for including Santogold, Shadow and Cornershop tracks, all good 'uns tooHaven'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
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?Originally Posted by stann

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

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.
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!
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?
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.

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

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?
Ceci n'est pas une signature
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 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...

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.
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
Not a bother. Anyone want to step in and post theirs tomorrow?
You're right though, OK Computer is crap.*Bearing in mind I thought OK Computer was cr@p after the first play thorough
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. And he acknowledged it too, so no excuses if they're not already winging their way around the country!

Tenner says Brewer's will be the worst CD of the bunch?
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Ah right you are.Yeah, there you go. And he acknowledged it too, so no excuses if they're not already winging their way around the country!
I'll take your tenner!
