Is the line up to ATP 2004 or something?

curated by the drummer from gay dad

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 7 May 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

it's alright, some nice things, but the presence of the zutons and the so-shit-i-can-barely-cope trans am spoil it for everyone.

C'mon, it can't be that bad.

― Elvis is Dead, Friday, 7 May 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

choice picks:

06 ecstasy of saint theresa - for that moment
10 the fiery furnaces - tropical iceland
16 the mendoza line - everything we used to be
17 slumber party - air

― the 'surface' 'noise' (electricsound), Friday, 7 May 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

My favorite is the Alasdair Roberts song. But my friends stop listen as soon as the the I Am a Nobukazu Takemura Cover Band song starts.

― Elvis is Dead, Friday, 7 May 2004 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

the key to any good mix is to end on a weird ass folk song from the 20s.

― tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Friday, 7 May 2004 03:01 (twenty-one years ago)

.. or the boggs.

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 7 May 2004 08:21 (twenty-one years ago)

slaughter the boggs. this compilation looks suspiciously like a college radio playlist.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Friday, 7 May 2004 08:38 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, it does... that's what i wanted.

I must make a point of ending mixes with Xiu Xiu's "Fabulous Muscles" from now on.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 8 May 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

xiu xiu SUCKS! Waht a horrible album cover, that naked guy with a doll. Disgusting.

― El toreiro, Saturday, 8 May 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

these mixes are worse than what i have to listen to at work!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 8 May 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. no strokes, vines, libertines, hives. and lots of cr*p.

― El toreiro, Saturday, 8 May 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

"these mixes are worse than what i have to listen to at work!"

So you must be hearing the beatles every day at work...

Just Kidding.

― Elvis is Dead, Sunday, 9 May 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

ignore strongo, you are correct in that they are not spectacular but not bad. although i have heard only about 3 of these songs so i am actually mildly interested.

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 9 May 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I < 3 John Wilkes Booze

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Sunday, 9 May 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

at least the constantines and kinski are on it with one of their best songs...

it definately has a yawneriffic college radio playlist feel to it, but i bet in 10-15 years people will probably overpay for it on ebay.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Sunday, 9 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

ten months pass...

its an amazing mix, just sad and lo enough, perhaps a bit indie, but thats alright and i love that lord gregory--can you send me a copy
