Woot! Right, in just three days recording time I have managed to put together a CD of such glorious vocal ineptitude as to put George Bush's diplomatic tact skills to shame, go me! As such I shall be sending the finished horror music out during the early days of this week, ready or not, here it comes...
Oh and to remind Werner, I've received both the girls' CDs, so where is yours? You wouldn't be letting the side down would you? Sort of thing I expect from a Contumelian I suppose 😉
EDIT: Angie, will listen to yours tomorrow and let you know what I think too 🙂
Whilst I'm here, I should post up the tracks on those I recieved from underfelt:
Arab Strap - The first big weekend
Jefferey Lewis - Don't let the record label take you out for lunch
Mirah - The Light
Cat Power - Freee
Elbow - Snooks
The Mountain Goats - Peacocks
Tindersticks - Tiny Tears
Yo La Tengo - You can have it all
Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done
Elliot Smith - Needle in the hay
Nick Drake - Fly
Belle & Sebastian - The state I'm in
The Lucksmiths - What YOu'll Miss
Camera Obscura - Suspended from class
Leonard Cohen - Chelsea Hotel No 2
Tom Waits - Sins of my father
The Handsome Family - 24-hour Store
Underfelt and I were perfectly matched for this (kudos to Darvlay), as I am a massive Cohen and Drake fan. I've heard most of the bands on here, but few of the actual songs which was nice. Cat Power is a favourite of mine and Camera Obscura used to be on a most played tape of my mate, but I'd kind of forgotten about them. I loved the last track, which was really well chosen to finish off the mix. Absolutely brilliant!

I'm glad you liked it starrman!
and since you did ...
Hopscotch: I am vindicated, you've dissed my music tastes for the last time you closet boy band fan. I demand you eat your hat!
hey weird, this hat has more taste than you ex goth moaners.
colour me surprised.
Originally posted by XanthosNZThere seems to be quite a gap between exchanges, but I'm sure if there's enough interest you could persuade darvlay to step it up.
When is the next one? I'd love to inflict my music taste on some unsuspecting victim.
EDIT: I mean share my taste in music with other like-minded people. Yes, that sounds better.
Originally posted by hopscotchPlease not yet! I'v eonly just managed to finish the last one and I'll be bahooneyed if I'm going through all that again just yet.

I sent mine out close to two weeks ago so they should be arriving shortly (Hoppy and RC). I also received Hopscotch's CD yesterday but haven't given it a listen yet. And I think the Chicken is still on a lengthened holiday. I will post the tracklists once the two of them have received the CDs.
As for when the next one will take place, I would say around September. I'm going to try and do it once a season.
Originally posted by darvlayI think your cd arrived yesterday but my messenger has the flu so it hasn't been delivered to my door. I'll hit him with a branch tonight, just for you.
