right I'm going to scour my itunes for a suitable inclusion on the xmas cd - I'll pm you in a min snoop

The first track on my Xmas CD from last year was "That was the worst Xmas ever" by Sufjan Stevens. A gorgeous song too.

Another one of his is called "Get behind me Santa".

Huw you still have a stack of empty CD cases?

by **huw williams** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 4:04 pm

yeah I think so, you want some?

by **-Adam-** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 5:46 pm

Im thinking very carefully about which song I want to represent myself with! Maybe I'll introduce you older fella's to the Wombats!

SNoop, Is the idea to make like a spinning class cd of music you can cycle to?

If so you should get thee to a gym cos the instructors have loads of "Classis" dance and garage tunes I'm sure everyone would love.

Walking on Sunshine , anyone?

:lol:

No Kasper - mind you can always use it fer that if you like....

I've got stacks of old house 12" and dance stuff - I'm kinda hoping for a rather more eclectic" mix. We're getting there - keep pm ing me y'all

Spin Snoop

"Maybe I'll introduce you older fella's to the Wombats!"

Don't bother, us older fellas are quite aware of the Wombats and they're F***** S**te!

Just what the music industry needs YET ANOTHER typically sub-britpop trio who sound like the bloody Fratellis and any number of other facile, spiky guitar-pop band. And they've got the gaul to namecheck Joy Division in one of their songs? Listen mate I fought in the Punk Wars in the late 70s and The Wombats aint fit to roadie for Joy Division.

Honestly, I'm begining to despair. Why do countless hundreds of spotty, teenage oiks think that knocking out some Chas and Dave riff on a guitar and recording the noise they make on MySpace constitutes talent

Where's the new musical equivelant of Massive Attack or Portishead?
Where's the new lyrical/musical complexities of The Smiths?

Just when we need a new forbearer for a genuinely alternative music scene in the way the Pixies or the Jesus and Mary Chain were, what do we get? Pete Doherty? The Wombats? Amy f*****g Winehouse?

Give me a break!

The selection commitee expects a more informed choice for the illustrious ACC xmas CD from your otherwise discerning palette Mr Prima Donna

And you're buying the drinks tonight :-)

Ooooh,

Pete Docherty is probably one of the most talented musicians in england right now. Have you seen him live? Or met him even?

I have, he wasn't even that off his face, he was amazing.

Twice with Libertines (first time supporting the strokes was very good but that was before the downward spiral, the other time was dreadfull) twice with Babyshambles (both performances had most of the audience leaving for the bar because he was so incoherant) and once solo in a pub in Camden where he seemd to think that acting like a Prima Donna celebrity would endear himself to the audience (it didn't).

He's only one of the most talented musicians in England according to a small number of music journalists. Realistically he's become just another of the over-publicised celebrity wasters who can't even do traditional rock 'n' roll debauchery with any credibility

by **-Adam-** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 11:31 am

Ok, maybe a number from the strokes would be OK for you then Huw!?

I have a very good one in mind, from the second album, with the line:

''I said please don't slow me down, if im going to fast''

Know which one I mean?

I saw them in New York, with Kings of Leon supporting. Actually, one of their's could do the job too...

That's off Reptilia isn't it? Awesome song

Seriously though - you mustn't let my prejudiced rantings put you off your choice of track - if its Wombats you want, Wombats you should have - there'll be a lot worse on there I imagine :-o

Now there's a band who can do RnR debauchery with credibility

Snoop - how many tunes you got so far?

by **Jon H** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 12:52 pm

[quote="AJC_Prima Donna Sprinter"]Well I was going to go for the Tellytubbies song if not the Wombats, any problems? :wink:

by **Andrew G** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 2:17 pm

Wombats I thought you said Wombles. Now that is a band, my brother still owns a pristine original 1970s LP of their original work.
