Not a fan of Jimmy Tamborello? How about this one, guaranted 'smurf' free.
Or his work as Dntel?
Or as one half of The Postal Service? Top electro-pop with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie:
I think 'Give Up' is probably one of my most played albums of the last 10 years.
It just doesn't work. It sounds like someone's just playing Nina Simone in the background and it keeps interfering with The Cure's epic. It doesn't sound 'blended'.
£2.55 plus school dinner money and pocket money. I was was probably clearing a fiver a week. Riches!
Not goth at all, utterly brilliant and probably still the loudest band I've ever seen (at The Escape with 14 Iced Bears)...
The man is just fantastic. He can do 'chat' brilliantly too, and the two Chain Reaction programmes he was on (being interviewed by Hooky from New Order, and then interviewing the tip-top Kevin Eldon) are both hilarious and genuinely interesting.

That's the only record I have by RLYL, but it's an absolute corker.
I used to quite like some of the goth stuff when it was still referred to as 'the Batcave scene' and, fleetingly, 'Posi-Punk'. Not ashamed to say that I own records by Alien Sex Fiend, Blood and Roses, The Specimen (bat-shaped...
Apropros of absolutely nothing other than it just came on via random shuffle, here's a great cover of Talulah Gosh's "Steaming Train" by The Frenchmen from America 6 or 7 years ago. I bloody love it, I do. You can download the MP3 for free...
One last try as a different format file...
Edit: it works if you click on the link, but doesn't automatically show. Grrr.
(Can't believe I only squeezed 20 songs on).
Kind words, but probably not deserved on this occasion :lol:
I don't seem to be able to post attachments right now, but I'll stick up the tracklisting when that gets sorted.
Right, it's a bit of a strange mix of tracks with no logical flow, but as I said, I must've been drinking when I compiled it 'cos it seemed to make sense at the time. I think.
Anyway, burning you another copy now - can you PM me your address please (just to be absolutely sure) and I'll get it...
The Killing, The Bridge, and for a bit of nostalgia, Twin Peaks.
The first series of The Killing, all 20 episodes, was probably the best made for TV drama I've ever seen. Everything about it was just spot-on.
Plus, Sarah Lund from The Killing is wonderful:
As is Saga from The Bridge:
Here's the tracklisting for the CD I sent to you way back on about the 9th Dec:
I think I might've been rather tipsy when I compiled it ???
I sent it from work in a very dull, official looking white 'window' envelope with a printed address, to RS Portslade as I had no name to refer to.
I'm...
Nope, was never really a fan of Sarah beyond a dozen or so releases; I much preferred the Subway sound.
I can't see the clip at work, but I don't recall 14 Iced Bears ever having a female member. Rob, the 'frontman' of the band, now has a bald head with slightly wild hair bursting out on...
Playlounge covering Keel Her - life doesn't get much better, especially when you're at work listening to some shitty commercial station playing a bunch of arsewash because it's new year's eve. I'm about to go postal...

Brighton band from the late 70's; this was a favourite of John Peel's and featured on one of the great local 'Vaultage' compilation albums alongside the likes of The Piranhas, The Chefs, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, The Dodgems, Nicky & The Dots, and, I think, The Exclusives who provide the...
