Swindon Music

Strawberry Switchblade were great, I bought a best of on cd last year with "Since Yesterday" and other classics, back in 1985 the 13 year old Mark E Moon had a bit of a thing for Strawberry Switchblade, i think it was something to do with goth girls playing guitars

Electric Orange

I've mostly been listening to Seven Years On again and again and again and again...

Not out of some sort of weird vanity you understand, just because I've been trying to finish off some mixes, and they have to be tested in the car, on the ipod and wherever else I can find a stereo!!

I've also been listening to Jesus Lizard (pretty brutal stuff!) and the Hold Steady who have grown on me a bit. I've got 'Almost Killed Me' and the production is superbly meaty. I've spent two days trying to make the production on the Seven Years On stuff sound like it. To be honest with my equipment it's a little like trying to race Linford Christie with your shoes tied together, but I think I'm getting somewhere nonetheless!

Asobi Seksu - Citrus (thanks for tip off Sam)
Bauhaus - Go Away White (25 bloody years and finally a new, and sadly final album)
Von Sudenfed - Tromatic Reflexxions
Black Mountain - In The Future

Coheed & Cambria... all four albums, in readiness for seeing them on Sunday:

The Second Stage Turbine Blade
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow

Asobi Seksu - Citrus (astonishing album!!!!)

ooh and Mr Postie has just delivered me my long awaited "My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult" best of, industrial rock the perfect soundtrack for the housework, sure the neighbours will love it.

I can't get enough of Kate Rusby's "The Village Green Preservation Society" at the moment....

I know it's the theme tune to Jam and Jerusalem but it's just such a good song. Any song which has the line "God save Strawberry Jam" has got to be a winner.

She's covered The Kinks classic? i reckon that could sound pretty good

Poison The Well - Tear From the Red
Faithless - Sunday 8PM

And a lot of Dashboard Confessional! Went to see him live last week!! Awsome. Although the crowd singing along to every song became a bit of a bore! (they even had to turn up the PA )

Sally, if you like the Village Green Preservation Society, got the album by the Kinks, it's got some amazing songs on it.

I've been listening to Wiretap Scars quite a lot too! It's a winner!
