Due to lack of funds I havn't got this done yet will get them out ASAP

[thischarmingman]

For out and out bleakness there's El Heath's Winter soundtrack
For something a bit off the wall I also got Strap The Button.


As for the cd, glad An Post are doing such a good job, so I guess it's safe to stick up the tracklist now:

1. Po’Lazarus – James Carter & The Prisoners (1959)
2. You Will Miss Me When I Burn – Palace Brothers (1994)
3. Katy Song – Red House Painters (1993)
4. Thirteen – Big Star (1972)
5. The Brute Choir – Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (2004)
6. The Gulag Orkestar – Beirut (2006)
7. The Carny – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (1986)
8. Her – Tindersticks (1993)
9. Sister Rosetta (Live) – Alabama 3 (1998)
10. Yellow Brick Road – Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band (1967)
11. One Toke Over The Line – Brewer & Shipley (1970)
12. All The Cocaine In The World – Webb Brothers (2000)
13. An Animal Sports Day – We Show Up On Radar (2008)
14. Be Thankful For What You Got – William De Vaughn (1974)
15. Maggot Brain (Live) – Funkadelic (1971)

With all due respect to everyone else so far, this is my favourite CD so far. Have been listening to it and Stann's a lot in the last couple of weeks. The Beirut stiff is new to me but I'll certainly be checking them out when I get the chance. The Nick Cave and Captain Beefheart tracks were well chosen and the Animals Sports Day is growing on me. Excellent, excellent CD.

Presume everyone has had time to spin Stann's Crazy Covers (with apologies to Tom Middleton) by now. Ringing endorsment then!

Tracklisting:
01. Ben Folds Five - Bitches Ain't Sh*t
02. Nouvelle Vague - Making Plans For Nigel
03. Amazonics - Let's Spend The Night Together
04. Keane - She Sells Sanctuary
05. The Fall - Lost In Music
06. The Katzenjammers - Cars
07. The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain - Another Girl, Another Planet
08. Hayseed Dixie - Back In Black
09. Hard 'n' Phirm - Rodeohead
10. Masha Qrella - Don't Stop The Dance
11. Foo Fighters - Band On The Run
12. Elbow - Teardrop
13. Freedom Dub - Sympathy For The Devil (Pleased Remix)
14. Senor Coconut & His Orchestra - Da Da Da
15. Sunshiners - Modern Love
16. Dub Pistols ft Terry Hall - Rapture
17. Dsico That No Talent Hack - Smells Like Electro
18. Flat Pack - Sweet Child Of Mine (Mylo Club Mix)
19. Groove Armada ft Crazy Girl - Are 'Friends' Electric?

Another well put together CD, favourites include the Hayseed Dixie Radiohead medley and Elbow's Teardrop. Sympathy For the Devil has got a lot of play too. It's made me dig out/download/check out not just the bands themselves, but the bands they covered so I think you can count it as a success.

Cheers, TCM, I will so.

[stann]

Sorry to always be the one harping on about it (though obviously not sorry enough not to be doing so ), but is this gone again? I see BGR hasn't been on in a while.

Was thinking the same. I have mine ready to go anyway so I'll post them on Monday. Could someone send me on a list of addresses again?

Why thank you, and sorry for not responding earlier.

[jebus]

I'll have these out tomorrow lads. My CD Drive is still giving me trouble so I'm gonna work off my mate's laptop and get it done

[Lionel Ritchie]

Gonna finally give Stanns CD a few spins today at work. Commentary by close of business. Now ...to business.

Oops! Hope you remembered the warning about Track 1!

[jebus]

Tied up in college today so won't be with you til Friday fellas.

The good news is is that it has a quality CD cover and everything, very, very fancy

[jebus]

Posted out this morning lads, hopefully will be with you tomorrow.

I have two spares if anyone else is interested for this round, don't know why I have two extra envelopes and two extra CDs this time, could be cause I was drunk whilst burning them last night

Anyway, if anyone wants a copy this round just PM me your address and I'll throw one out to you

[kingdom hoop]

Got your CD there Jebie, thank you. Cool cover - you know you were a lot cuter as a child. Like the look of the tracklist as well, 2 through 6 are particularly whetting my appetite. Will give it a few spins later.

By the way, I believe I may have intimated a few weeks ago that I was set to release my very own sophomore slump, well I was, and am (no production difficulties, nor indeed record label fractiousness), but have just been very busy of late (saving the world and what-not) and am away from this evening to Wednesday so it's probably best if someone else takes next week and I'll happily go the week after next as my CD is practically settled (though no cover yet!). Sorry for causing any confusion (jebus) or indeed cantankerousness (stann). I'll be back to my reliable self after Wednesday.

Fail has been fighting off all comers in the car stereo all weekend, Jebus, it's rather good indeed.
Must say the standard of these CDs overall has been exceptionally high, but this quite possibly tops the lot so far, or comes very close.
So many highlights. Brilliant start through the first 6 tracks, and a very strong finish with the last 4. The inclusion of Range Life and the Creedence version of Heard It Through The Grapevine is inspired.
Loads of stuff I've not heard before but will be checking out - Gui Boratto (what tune is that?), Tegan & Sara (who I keep hearing good things and really must investigate), Midlake and The National.
Three thumbs up!

[jebus]

Gui Boretto track is called Like You I believe. I got it off a blank CD that my mate burned of Gui's stuff and he didn't include the track listing, but I think it's Like You

Full Track Listing

1. Yann Tiersen - Noutava
2. Hot Chip - And I was A Boy From School
3. Neon Neon - Raquel
4. Gui Boretto - Like You
5. The Teenagers - Homecoming (Gentleman Driver Mix)
6. Digitalism - Pogo
7. The Blow - Pile Of Gold
8. Tegan & Sara - The Con
9. Midlake - Head Home
10. Skin, Flesh & Bones - Solitary Man
11. The Paragons - Happy Go Lucky Girl
12. She & Him - Sentimental Heart
13. Pavement - Range Life

15. Smokey Robinson - Betcha By Golly Wow
16. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Heard It Through The Grapevine

[ken foree]

13. Pavement - Range Life

ahh well done! of all the 'ment songs that'd be the one i'd choose for a mix cd too - a diss for stone temple pilots and smashing pumpkins in the same song, what's not to love looks like you're all having fun in this thread!

[thischarmingman]

Just letting you know I got the CD ok Jevus, will report back here tomorroe with thoughts.

[noby]

Got the cd. Gave it a quick listen the end of last week. Not sure if it's the cd or my old stereo, but it only plays on my laptop, which has seriously curtailed it's airing ( along with the fact that my 4y/o daughter saw a bit of Mamma Mia, so ABBA hasn't left the stereo all weekend. I do like a bit of ABBA, but I must have heard Mamma Mia about 40 times on Saturday). Anyway, I digress. I'll get around to re-burning it and give it a fair crack this week.

Greetings old friends. I don't get to post on foot.ie much these days and I'm sure many of ye don't either but I just wanted to thank all involved in this initiative. 5 or 6 years after the fact I'm still listening to these compilations. Found a bunch of them recently and stuck em on the pod. They're often the closest thing to new music I encounter even if the newest stuff involved is 6 years old at this stage. Sometimes, on a rare night out, someone'll enquire if I've heard X new album by X new band and I have to reply that if Dora didn't do it, Bob didn't build it or Makka Pakka didn't mainline it I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

All of mine are left in Ireland, sadly.

But your thread-bump has induced me to dig up tracks from them on Spotify.
