NSC Easter Bunny CD 2015

[Pevenseagull]

Husky Rescue on the one I did, too. Different song though. Second appearance in the lists for them, one behind Yo La Tengo and two behind the leaders - LOW.

I'm going to reiterate what someone noted a couple of days ago - there is some remarkably good taste being displayed all round, on these track lists.

Yo La Tengo are going to catch up

 

[Pevenseagull]

I'd never heard of 'Husky Rescue' ............... but then again I only had my first Scotch Egg with black pudding last week ........... So many new things to enjoy.

 

[Albumen]

Well this is going rather swimmingly isn't it.
Any guesses for the last few?

 

[Staly]

I'm slightly shocked that Swell Maps have managed two appearances!

 

[Pevenseagull]

fire at Yo La Tengo gig, 4 independent record shop workers feared dead.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I'll go public with stating unequivocally that this was a brilliant idea

 

[Albumen]

There will be casualties, there are always casualties.

There will be casualties, there are always casualties.

Be prepared for an inevitable influx of Santas come 2014.

I was considering sending the same CD out next year, BUT by then:

1) I hope to have my external hard drive working
2) I will work out how to burn stuff that's not in the that particular folder
3) I just got the Matthew E White, Elvis Costello & The Roots, Throwing Muses and Robert Pollard albums

on the subject of 'Robert Pollard' I have no idea why I didn't put this song on the CD

 

[Mowgli37]

Apologies to my guy, will stick mine in the post sharpish or failing that deliver direct.



Loved the spaceman cover and the Yin and Yang on the CD was a nice touch.

Seapoint - Nautical Day
Good opener with a steady beat and a nice vocal sample. Ran a shade too long though.

Pomo - So fine
Liked it

Pomo - Work it out
These two tracks complimented each other well. Of the two I preferred Work it out due to it's higher tempo.

Obey City - That Molly
Didn't really care for this one I'm afraid

Arnold - kkane
Great track

Color Plus - Plantain Friend
Forgettable

Color Plus - Don't change
As above, sounded confused with no real direction. Sorry Color Plus!

Tom & Jerry - Maximum Booty Style (Ticklish Remix)
Nice funky beat and smooth vocals on this one

Ticklish - Never Ever
I think this one could grow on me, upon first listening the high pitched vocals annoyed me but they're getting better with time

Traxman - I need some money
I was loving this till what sounded like a rhythmic wind-chime came in which slightly ruined this otherwise great track

Slick Shoota - Pussyclot Funk Dem 2013
Decent track

Addison Grove & Sam Binga - Rzor
Loved this one. Great build up and the bass sounded awesome

Clicks and Whistles - Super Sick Turtle
Good track, nice synths

Color Plus - Woah
Ah we meet again Color Plus...I didn't allow their previous two to cloud my judgement and gave this track a chance. The countless repetitions of the command "Bounce" failed to inspire though.

Busta Rhymes - Julio (Falcons Remix)
Had a strong urge to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas when listening to this. That's a good thing, great track making even this History Student feel quite gangsta

Illingsworth - Gouty Lips Seq.
Dull song, very forgettable.

El. Train x Haan 808 - Moonlight
A good blend of high tempo sections and then more ambient parts. Rather abrupt ending.

Samuel Truth - Kakapo
Good rhythm to this one

Dom$olo - Brown Shuga Packets
Bit of a 'meh' track, decent but nothing really that interesting going on.

Overall I enjoyed the album. Not what I'd normally listen too at all but I think you may have me interested in hearing more, good work As for guessing the poster I haven't a clue I'm afraid!

 

[tinycowboy]

Pretty sure I know who sent this.

Moi aussi.

I'm reviewing each song as I listen, lovely bit of Santa marauding down the wing as artwork.

Carol Button - Intro ...................... nice touch
McClusky - Garthe Brown Says .............. glorious, if I don't like anything else on this CD it's a great CD
Hefner - The Hymn For The Cigartettes .......... personally I get upset when women smoke in my bedroom.
The Phenominal Hanclap Band - 15to20 ....... not my kind of thing but I like it . I shall play this to people and they will think I am down with the kids. .............. Actually as it goes on I am thoroughly enjoying it .......... I shall put it on my CD for my sister ........ she'll love it.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - From The Sun ........... well, I listened to it 3 times before proceeding .......... one of the best things I've heard all year, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SANTA. If I hadn't already sent my CD out I would have put this on it.
The Lovely Eggs - Scooter's Got Itchy ........ Power Pop ......... smashing
KId Carpet - I don't want to fall in love ........... I'd like to pretend I don't like this, not what I would choose to listen to but I will play it in the pub as I know that it will go down well with everybody after a few beers.
Swell Maps - Another Song .......... yep
Husky Rescue - June ...... I bloody well love this and am in the process of aquiring more of their work. THANK YOU SANTA ..... WOW!!! ..................... actually, this is F***ing magnificent. THANK YOU, THANK YOU
Hannah Peel - Sugar Hiccup .......... I was wondering if this was going to be a Cocteau Twins cover .............. and it SPANKS IT!!!! THANK YOU. I am crying.
Cours Lapin - 1,2,3. ........... pretty, the future ex Mrs Pevenseagull will love this
Forest Fire - Fortune Teller .......... sounds like The Triffids (which is a VERY good thing) ........ might be my favourite one on the CD so far. ............................. yep 3 plays ......... this is the the business .............. THANK YOU x50, what a superb song.
Future Of The Left - Small Bones Small Bodies ........... Oh yes ......... big fan of Tad and Paw so well chuffed with this, I will inspect their back catalogue
The Flying Lizards - Sex Machine ........... Next time we have our cover version night in the pub this is geting played, oh yes
Caberet Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag ............ nothing wrong with this, but their are 200 songs by 'The Fall' that sound the same as this but are slightly better
Untold - Stereo Freeze .............. not what I normally listen to but quite excellent. A far superior take on The Prodigy's stuff. (I know nothing about this kind of music) Actually, as this goes on I am rather enjoying it ............ it's better than 'Wonder2' on the MBV album.
Low - Silent Night .......... 100th time I've listened to it ......... it is quite lovely though isn't it. A nice inclusion and juxtoposition to the previous. and it is truely lovely.
Vernon and Burns - Nottingham Co-operative Tape collection. Class ........... nice touch

All in all I feel like a massive winner

Thank you Santa


I'm getting a pint and putting this on again

I know this Santa too.....

Blimey!, someone put Hannah Peels version of Sugar Hiccup up! I saw her perform this live on the roof at De La Warr Pavilion a few years ago. Achingly beautiful rendition!

Enjoying reading the reviews here as I'm interested to see what music people are listening to. Great to see everyone making a real success of this idea.

 

[Mellotron]

Ooh, got a failed delivery slip from Royal Mail. Will pop down this afternoon and 'ave a look. Exciting!

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Still quite a few yet to receive! The track listings so far have been real quality.

Would it be cheeky if we PMed to request copies of some of these??

Of the CD's? I can't see any problem in that. Just don't review them before the recipient does!
