The Mackems vs The Geordies
The best thing i've had in the post so far is a copy of the new Maximo Park b-sides & demos album 'Missing Songs'. I can't really recommend it if you're not a fan, however I am. And I loved it. I've not posted any tracks up since i've put the best one (I Want You To Leave) up already. However I did also get sent one of the remixes from the new single - 'I Want You To Stay'.
I've been looking forward to hearing these mixes by Field Music and most of all Christian Vogel for ages. Not managed to lay my ears on the latter yet, however the Field Music mix is rather nice.
MAXIMO PARK - I WANT YOU TO STAY (FIELD MUSIC REMIX)
You know what Maximo Park look like... so here are Field Music.
The band are, like Maximo Park & The Futureheads from the North East. And sound rather like a twee version of the latter.
I bought their album from Boomkat last week, since it was a bargain £4.99. And it's good. It's not brilliant but there are enough excellent songs to make it worthwhile. And it is growing on me with each listen. I'm particularly taken by this track, 'You Can Decide', which almost seems to distill 30 years of British Guitar pop into 2 minutes. With a bit of the Beach Boys thrown in to the mix.
FIELD MUSIC - YOU CAN DECIDE
Check out also their new single, 'If Only The Moon Were Up'. There's a video on their website.
Weren't the Brit awards boring. Boring performances (except Kanye West & Gorillaz); boring presenters; boring results. Boring.
Hope that's not blown my chance of an invite next year ,-)
I think I was watching it with a certain amount of disdain anyway, which can't have helped. I mean surely downloading must have killed the music industry by now? How on earth can they afford to stage such a lavish event? Oh hang on, they sold a record 159 million albums last year.
I don't understand.
"Ever Get The Feeling You've Been Cheated?"
Lastly, i've recorded a new mix which I may lay on you tomorrow. Woo!
