Some weeks are just better off coming to an end, and what better way to blow off some work-week (or lack-of-work-week) steam, than with a barn-burning set of super-heady-nug-jams. Each song has been carefully selected and placed in an order that will cater to each and every one of your delicate little psyches...yes, you, I'm speaking to you. I lovingly put this mixtape together with the specific intention of lighting that proverbial fire under all your bum-bums...so get outside this weekend and enjoy Mother Nature's splendor, no matter what the conditions. Actually, just do what you want, be selfish, spoil yourself, eat fried chicken, smoke cigarettes, read Anne Rice. Do whatever it is you do, but seriously though, DO IT. And remember, play it loud fuckers.

The link is available by clicking on my name for this comment. Not overly happy with the sub-editing, just to cover my own back... :P [view article]

Yo Jake, where your review at, i'm curious! I think for me what made it stretch to 9/10 was teh fact it's really accessible and just occupies it's own little niche so well right now, I really can't think of a band with another recent release that I could compare them adequately to. Anyway, glad you liked it! [view article]

I love how everyone always forgets that this isn't the full lineup by a long shot and a good chunk of the best bands aren't usually announced straight away. [view article]

All three are worth a listen to be fair. I wouldn't have stretched quite as far as 9/10 (in fact, I didn't when I reviewed it elsewhere), but it is very good. Dusty Fruit is probably my favourite track (the early version of it, "Don't Trust the Dusty Fruit", is also very good!). [view article]

Jake, I know what you mean, but if i'd have admitted that it wouldn't have fitted my whole 'difficult second album' bit now would it? ;) [view article]
