Really good: Snow Users Valentine 69 I heard a little shoegaze element in these tracks and definitely want to hear the album Submarine. Not so good: First 4 tracks Ghost Of Elvis. The sort of thing I call chinga chinga music - sort of jangle pop with not much going on with non descript guitar strumming. The good were really good though and that's another album on my hit list. Cheers. |
Heartworm is the best album of the 90's though.

Presenting... The Beginner's Guide to... Carissa's Wierd http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/50...ssas+Wierd.jpg What a truly amazing band this is... It is only at certain points in your life where the phrase - "words cannot describe" truly perfectly fit well into a situation. One of those situations in which this phrase will fit perfectly well into is when describing Carissa's Wierd. I first found this band in my journey for that dual male, female vocals, and it was actually Jackhammer that introduced me to them and well... since then I never looked back. This band... is cripplingly depressing. The emotion is raw... the lyrics heartbreaking, yet perfect. Combining piano with violins and the sweet sounds of the accordion, together with soft guitars this band defines the essence of sadcore. Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto are a truly powerful dual performance and the melancholy in their voices will resound with real emotions... Do yourself a favor and give this a listen... and never look back... Track Listing 1. Brooke Daniel's Tiny Broken Fingers 2. You Should Be Hated Here 3. Silently Leaving The Room 4. The Colour That Your Eyes Changed With The Colour of Your Hair 5. Die 6. Lazy Eyelids 7. So You Wanna Be A Superhero 8. A Loose Hair Falls into a Glass of Water... 9. Ignorant Piece of Shit 10. Blessed Arms That Hold You Tight, Freezing 11. The Piano Song 12. All Apologies and Smiles, Yours Truly,... 13. They'll Only Miss You When You Leave 14. The Ghost of a Dead Hummingbird Flying... 15. Sophisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave Me Alone 16. You Should Be At Home Here Be Touched By The Hand of God! |
Downloaded New Model Army, should be good.

I saw that the Sigur Ros comp was deleted. Anyone be interested in one made by me?

The Beginner's Guide To Pulp
http://jandemessemaeker.net/music/bandimages/Pulp.jpg Pulp were one of the most popular, and best, British groups of the 1990's, with the albums His'N'Hers and Different Class establishing their leader Jarvis ****er as a songwriter who could articulate adolescence, sex and the problems it brought, and social division brilliantly and making him an unlikely icon. However, Pulp had been struggling in obscurity for a decade beforehand, with a constantly changing lineup and sound, which evolved from the folkish pop of their It debut, to the synthpop which they would make their name with. Whilst their post-Different Class work may have failed to scale the same commercial heights, there was no drop in quality with This Is Hardcore being possibly their best album. I hope this primer gives you some idea as to the range and quality of Jarvis' songwriting, in order to appreciate there being more to Pulp than Disco 2000 and Common People.Neither of which I've included. 1. 1.Babies 2.My Legendary Girlfriend 3.This Is Hardcore 4.I Spy 5.My Lighthouse 6.Live Bed Show 7.Help The Aged 8.Do You Remember The First Time? 9.They Suffocate At Night 10.Wickerman 11.Countdown 12.FEELINGCALLEDLOVE 13.Bad Cover Version 14.Glory Days 15.Last Day Of The Miner's Strike Tracks 1,8 from His'N'Hers Tracks 2,11 from Seperations Tracks 3,7,14 from This Is Hardcore Tracks 4,6,12 from Different Class Tracks 5 from It Tracks 10 and 13 from We Love Life Tracks 9 from Freaks Track 15 from Hits A Pulp sampler.rar |
some mod should put that list of links on the OP.
|
Tracks 1 and 12 are absolute win.
|
Track 7 as well. I''d be downloading that, all I own by Pulp is This is Hardcore. Nice job:thumb:

Beginner's Guide to mc chris http://news.gotgame.com/wp-content/u...02/mcchris.jpg What begun as a beginner's guide to nerdcore quickly turned into a beginner's guide to mc chris because he's pretty much the only nerdcore artist that's worth two shits. That may be a little harsh, but after hearing two hours of the likes of MC Frontalot I can safely write off a lot of the others as mere imitations of him as he seems to be the poster child for the genre. Sure there are other talented nerdcore artists out there like Random and Jesse Dangerously, and even the gimmicky MC Hawking is good for a larf, but for the most part it's a very... esoteric genre to say the least. For those unaware of the genre it's pretty much nerd hip hop, plain and simple. Songs tend to focus on science-fiction, fantasy, being a geek/nerd, love, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, etc. mc chris is one of the longest running voices of the genre and has had a love/hate relationship with the title. He finds the label to be extremely limiting on who can enjoy it and goes out of his way to write songs to encompass far more than just Nintendo fanboys. This has caused some friction among other artists of the genre, some viewing him as a bit of a poseur, only accepting the genre title after it started to gain some more mainstream recognition. Regardless on his personal feelings for the genre, he is one of the more talented amongst the bunch, both in his rhyme and flow scheme, but as well as his beat making. The breaking point for a lot of people is his unusually high voice, which some have described as sounding like that of a 10-year old boy. He has addressed such issues in his song "10-Year Old", but goes about it in good grace. If you can get past the voice and actually listen to his lyrics there is a good amount of humor and intelligence hidden in them. I tried to include as much stuff from mc chris is dead, his 2008 album which is widely regarded as his most accessible and well produced. I don't expect everything to appreciate this mix, but I'm sure at least one person will find it amusing. Track List "10-year old" - knowing is half the hassle "fett's vett" - life's a bitch and i'm her pimp "awesome fucker" - part 6 part 1 "on*" - mc chris is dead "neville" - part 6 part 2 "hipster hunter" - part 6 part 3 "dq blizzard" - life's a bitch and i'm her pimp "older crowd" - mc chris is dead "metaphor" - mc chris is dead "ftw" - dungeon master of ceremonies "emo party" - part 6 part 3 "freaks" - mc chris is dead "ig-88" - part 6 part 1 "zuckuss' prius" - part 6 part 2 "white kids love hip hop" - knowing is half the hassle "mc chris is dead" - mc chris is dead "magic" - mc chris is dead I made a point to include a few skits because they are quite funny if albeit a little on the long side. If you're a geek then this is something you'll most likely like, or at least appreciate. Well here's the link, hope you guys like it! Beginner's Guide to mc chris download |

I cant believe you dont have mishapes or underwear on there either, both essential. Anyway all this goes to show is that pulp rock. They really need to sort out some sort of reunion I saw them Live at Leeds fest in 2002 underneath the strokes. Needless to say they complete blew them out of the water. :p: Cheers for whoever it was who posted King Crimson, cant believe ive never checked this band out before. Anyway im currently working on a best of hip hop selection for number nine dream, if anyones interested ill get post it here when its done. Although im snowed under at work so im not sure when ill actually finish it. |
I will get to work on Sigru Ros then.
@Pete: I seriously came here to post an mc chris guide. Ours have 7 overlapping tracks though so I'll leave it be. You did a good job. |

My bad I have two tracks off there. I've Lifted and I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. Any reason for leaving out I'm Wide Awake It's Morning? Not that it's a bad thing, just curious.

"A beginner's guide to Sun City Girls" is comin' soon.
Hey people, I'm going to make a beginners guide to Sun City Girls only because finding the really good stuff can be really ****ing hard as you have to go through a bunch of random nonsense to find it. Well, maybe I'll throw in a few nonsensical tracks for some laughs, but the majority of this guide will be the the really good stuff people might have missed because it's mixed in with all of the bull****. |
I'll be sure to check that out. I only have the S/T but haven't really gotten into the band yet.
I'll try and finish the few I've been working on soon. |
OK I have just spent around 45 minutes going through this thread and deleting posts with dead links to comps and post's that refer to them so all comps should work now.
A clickable guide to all the comps will be added to the OP very soon. |

Yeah We Are Nowhere and it's now is probably my favorite Bright Eyes song but I'm glad you didn't include much off of I"m Wide Awake and Lifted Since I already had them. :) I probably would have put Lua on, I don't like Landlocked Blues much. But those were definitely wise choices for beginners
I really like Haligh, Haligh or whatever. |

To comemmorate my arriving back in my flat, and therefore regaining my ability to up and download stuff, and also because it's looking a bit lonely buried in the depths of my journal as it is...
A Beginner's Guide To Midnight Oil Yeah, it's an old comp I've posted somewhere before, so sue me :p: Looking back on it now there are probably one or two tracks I'd switch around, but such is life eh.
