Ooo definitely, one of my favourite bands. I'd start with Do Dallas, give us a shout if you need a link.

I know Keep On Breathing is one of my favourite songs, so I'm downloading this based solely on that. Also, I think I like the Submarines but that might be a different band I'm thinking of. Hope its good! :p: *listens* I love it! I am so glad I downloaded this, a lot of stuff I've never heard before but everything went really well together and I'm going to have to look up some of those bands now...

1. I have Elephant Eyelash by Why? so I'm a fan already. Great stuff.
2. I really like the music but not the vocals so much. might give an album a listen though.
3. This is not really my sort of thing.
4. I'm not a fan of Manu Chao. much prefer his earlier band Mano Negra. Much more eclectic.
5. I adored this. Great catchy riff and love the keyboards working through it.
6. Far too kitschy for me I'm afraid.
7. Same again.
8. This one is a real grower and the use of strings is superb
9. Far too short to get any handle on it.
10. But of course. brings back lots of memories.

The comp was not what I really go for but the Fight like Apes track was worth it alone.

I will endeavour to hear more soon.

1.Turncoat - Anti-Flag

I will never forgot this song, and every time I here it i will remember the time me and my friends were walking home from a party late one summer night. We were taking the long hike down a road with houses on one side and nothing but country on the other...and that's when I heard it. I just remember being like "Yeah...yeah...!! Let's go see what these people are up to!". So I jumped the fence and we partied with all these random people all night. We went back a few times after that, but we'd always have to make the same entrance: Over the fence, into the prickle bushes, then a nice little tuck and roll right up to the fire pit. What a great summer...those are the times I was the happiest with people that I loved the most, i never want to forget those days.


2.Twenty Years - Augustana

I can't really explain how much this songs mean to me. I still get chills every time I listen to it. Its one of my comfort songs. Everything about makes me feel like I understand my own life so much better.


3.Waiting on an Angel - Ben Harper

You know when you're laying in your bed and you've just woken up...but you can hear the rain on your window. You just lay there, almost in total peace. Well this is the song I here in my head when that moment happens. Ben's voice is so soothing. I almost feel like a little kid when I listen to this...falling asleep to my dad singing to me.


4.I'm Not Strong Enough To Say No - BlackHawk

I just re-discovered this song a few months ago. It's kinda funny because I had never heard of BlackHawks before... but when I played this I could sing all the words...like I had heard it a thousand times before. It's one of those songs that you heard on the radio in your parents car, when your a kid, so many times you could completely sing along to it at 7 years old. It felt good to re-discover that...it wouldn't have matter what genre or what song it was...it still would have had that same effect on me. You know it just gives you that little smile as you kinda reminisce all those little memories.


5.Aliens Exist - Blink-182

This was the most played song on my very first MP3 player. That thing was more trouble then what it was worth. Blink 182 was huge then, and I just plain and simple, loved this song.


6.Sleeping Sickness (Feat. Gordon Downie) - City And Colour

Thank the dear lord I heard this song because if it wasn't for the pure solitude of this song I would have never discovered City and Colour. I could see anyone not liking this song.


7.American Dream - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

This song was my whole summer when I was like 10 years old. My friends and I were searching through my mom's CD stack looking from something interesting to listen to and we came across this Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young CD. We went though every track but from some reason this one just stood out to us. We played it on re-peat on the old sony ghetto blaster my dad won in a curling bonspiel. The lyric "American dream" is repeated alot throughout the whole thing but I remember saying "American Tree Pee" instead ah ah. I can remember being so "cool" listening to this song.


8.Transatlanticism - Death Cab For Cutie

One time I drove around and listened to this song on repeat for an hour...I wasn't going anywhere...in-fact I was almost home and then this song come on my CD and it completely captivated me. So I just kept driving. I had listened to it before but I had never "really listend to it", you know.


9.Between The Bars - Elliot Smith

I don't really know what to say for this song. I feel like it deserves alot more words then I can write for it. It's the lyrics that really made me love this song, and the sound of his voice. I have yet to here a song by Elliot Smith that I don't like.


10.Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

Who doesn't like playing the air guitar/ drums, take your pick, and singing your ass off to this song. Then turning on your best sexy voice for:

In no specific order (actually its alphabetical)



I didn't even make it past the "E"s in my music library for this. I guess there are just so many songs that mean alot to me. If it wasn't 2:18 AM I would probably go through all my songs then pick the top 10 out of all the little write ups i did...but this will have to do for now.

this was a really interesting one.
I really loved the first side especially: 1 and 4 (suggestions on what to get from fight bight? I really liked this one)

the second side was decent. If it didn't have my favorite go! team track, I wouldn't like it very much. Overall, it was the elton john, fight bight, and go! team that made this playlist complete, NOT the dance beats or the weird rock songs.

This thread needs bumping. i'll make a comp later today.

1. Mattachin - Delia Derbyshire
2. Introduction /March Of The Flower Children - The Seeds
3. The Birthday - The Idle Race
4. Dr. Of Philosophy - C.A. Quintet
5. Time Track - Skip Bifferty
6. Friday On My Mind - The Easybeats
7. Scarecrow's Love Affair - Blues Magoos
8. Worry - Free
9. My Little Red Book - Love
10. 14 Hour Technicolour Dream - The Syn

Get it here, boys

I actually did this one properly, changed the tags and everything but for some reason a couple of the tracks won't stay in the intended order, so if you so desire refer to the tracklisting above for the full prostitute-gutting experience.

1. Everything With You - The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
2. Happy As A Child - SPY
3. Best Of Friends - The Chesterfields
4. Why Did I Trust You? - The Garlands
5. Burning The Thoughts From My Skin - The Dentists

7. Bad Dreams - McCarthy
8. Welcome - Sarandon
9. S.S.S(Secret summer sniper) - Rissen
10. Flowers - The Ruling Class
(extra special hidden track!)

get some sugar

Melodies, harmonies, hooks, redundant production techniques. These are the things we take for granted in our endless pursuit of eclecticism and new musical frontiers... However I am under a cloud and I thought the best way to counter this would be to make an indie-pop compilation with a nonsensical title!

Included within is: a lot of the new, smatterings of the old, American, British, German, Japanese, girls, boys, twee, not-so-twee, shoegazey, baggy, lounge (?) - it's all here and it's all you need! :p:
