May Day Mix-tape (off-topic)


Orthodox Easter conveniently clashes with May Day this year, so next week is a week off, here's a collection of tunes I'll be listening to over the holiday:

1. Men in Route - 23 Maggio

A kind of ska/ reggae song taken from this unsigned Italian band's demo N-Demo

2.The Heavens - The Beautiful Machine

Another unsigned band, this time from Leeds, think about The Brian Jonestwon Massacre meets Ride. They really are that good.

3.Boat Club - Warmer Climes

Yet another indie pop band from Sweden and like most of the Indie bands from Sweden they are very good.

4. Edgar Jones - Sunshine

A song taken from the soul/ funkster's album that came out earlier this year

5. The Jam - Running on the Spot

If you haven't heard of this band then you don't like music

6. Judge Dredd - Up with the Cock

A novelty song from the first British person to score a reggae hit in Jamaica

7. Talco - Tutti Assolti

High-energy punk/ ska music from Italy's left-wing Talco. Taken from their first album and not as folky as the stuff on their latest release.

8. Vampire Weekend - One (Blake's Got a New Face)

This band has really been hyped by Pitchfork over the last few months, but unlike a lot of bands they deserve the hype.

9. St.Etienne - Who Do You Think You Are?

Early 90's music from the days of indie/dance crossover

10. Radioactive Man - Strong Booze

Keith Tenniswood, who is better known for his work with Andrew Weatherall on 2 Lone Swordsmen and Sabres of Paradise serves up a techno treat.

11. The Charlatans - A Day for Letting Go

A track taken from the Charlie's latest album.

12. Biosis Now - Independent Bahamas

I don't know anything about this band other than that they are pretty happy about the Bahamas being independent.
