Disco Pogo
I should have directed you to the Daily Growl about, ooh, 7 episodes ago. He's doing what I had vaguely planned to do at some point and picking out the best tracks from the amazing cover CDs given away by Jockey Slut in its last year of existence.
Jockey Slut was the best magazine ever, and I bought it religiously for about 10 years (as it grew from black & white fanzine to glossy quarterly). I have still not quite recovered from the fact that it went under..... I bet they wished they'd stayed in Manchester rather than seeking pots of gold in The London. I know I do.
Anyway I discovered a ridiculous amount of fantastic music via these amazing CDs. Check the tracklistings here and bear in mind that this was back in '02, when most of these artists were unknown.
All five tracks you can download here are beyond essential. I can't even pick out one as a MUST HEAR...although if I was picking out 5 tracks from this CD I would certainly have included J.A.M.'s filtered French Disko classic 'Number One' at the expense of the Nextmen.
