saturday night, i watch channel five, i particularly like csi..
so julie has asked me to send her some music by some uk artists and i told her i'd make a mix...like a month ago. some procrastination later, here it is. feel free to nab it if you're interested and just be glad that i didn't put any mcfly on it. and deal with the girls aloud, okay?
i'm so bored with the usa: a uk-based mix
los campesinos! : it started with a mixx
trying to find the perfect match between pretentious and pop
some crappy artwork that took way, way too long to draw
handwritten tracklisting restarted every time the pen smudged
encoded title doesn't give away as much as it should
it started with a mixx
(how did it come to this?)
i think it always will
patrick wolf : bluebells
and i'm going nowhere fast
a darker day has hold at last
deep in this dream i let the compass keep spinning
mark ronson [feat. lily allen] : oh my god [kaiser chiefs cover]
great rulers make for a greater glory
the only thing growing is our history
knock me down i'll get right back up again
come back stronger than a powered up pacman
arctic monkeys : you know i'm no good [amy winehouse cover]
cos you're my fella, my guy
hand me your stella and fly
by the time i'm out the door
you tear men down like roger moore
girls aloud : something kinda ooh
[lmfao this is the deep and meaningful song of the mix obviously.
and by that i mean this turns into a dance party for the next few songs!]
something kinda ooh
jumping on my tutu
bloc party : flux
we were hoping for some romance
all we found was more despair
we must talk about our problems
we are in a state of flux
klaxons : golden skans
a hall of records, or numbers, or spaces still undone
ruins, or relics, disciples and the young
hot chip : ready for the floor
i can't hear your voice, do i have a choice?
i'm hoping perchance, you might take this dance
the wombats : let's dance to joy division
let's dance to joy division
and celebrate the irony
everything is going wrong
but we're so happy
kate nash : fluorescent adolescent [arctic monkeys cover]
you used to get it in your fishnets
now you only get it in your night dress
discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
landed in a very common crisis
the last shadow puppets : the age of the understatement
my fingers scratch at my hair before my mind can get too reckless
the idea of seeing you here is enough to make the sweat go cold
joy division : love will tear us apart
when routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
and we're changing our ways, taking different roads
lightspeed champion : tell me what it's worth
crack open the good times
on a street corner busting rhymes
but you fell between the lines
the hours : back when you were good
you had it all right in the palm of your hand
and let it fall like a million grains of sand
you went away to a place where nobody knew just who you are
larrikin love : meet me by the getaway car
send my love to the city
cos i'll be having an affair this summer
and this town's very gritty
so i'll be living off the life of another
sneaker pimps : m'aidez
dead songs, halfway home, still life lived on mobile phones
emmy the great : where is my mind?
your head will collapse, there's nothing in it
you'll ask yourself, where is my mind?
the libertines : music for when the lights go out
well i no longer hear the music when lights go out
love goes cold in shades of doubt
the strange fate in my mind is all too clear
