[Theatre of Trees]

The last compilation I made was this:

1. Go! Team - Panther dash
2. Futureheads - Hounds of love
3. Bloc Party - Helicopter
4. Kaiser Chiefs - I predict a riot
5. Blonde REdhead - Equus
6. Bearsuit - Chargr

18. Radio Dept. - Against the tide
19. Num - Noise
20. Delgados - I fought the angels
21. Concretes - Warm night
22. Kasabian - LSF

I still tend to buy (or download) singles rather than go out and buy the album then cut a compiliation from the best tracks. This one was done before Christmas.

My own personal compilation would depend on what mood I'm in, the dumped by your bird one would probably contain Joy Division's New Dawn Fades, my hyperactive jump up and down one, Jesus & Mary Chain's Never understand, the others depend on memory and recall.

It would possibly contain the following, but is always liable to change:

Smiths - This charming man or Reel around the fountain.
Specials - Currently rather fond of Do Nothing
Human League - Empire state human
T Rex - Ride a white swan (this changes frequently too)
Bowie - 5 years, Heroes or the camper Boys keep swingin'
The The - Uncertain smile
Associates - Party fears too
Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding
Chameleons - In shreds
Killing Joke - Psyche
Wah Heat - 7 minutes to midnight
Buzzcocks - Orgasm addict
Talking Heads - Once in a lifetime
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
Danielle Dax - Big hollow man
Joy Division - Transmission

I'm sure there are plenty more I can add to that list but I can't remember them at the moment.
