Twenty Songs, 30th April 2006

This'll be a brief one for a week that was, to be honest, pretty light on music. As was clearly reflected in the massively spartan updates here at Unlixes.

Surprise entry for pop new wavers Neon Plastix and their tacky but fun Prick Tease. To be honest we're loathe to recommend it but if we were honest it's probably ( Read more... )

Brrr. Weird week this week. Haven't really done much work on No, Really. Haven't listened to a huge amount of music. Had a bit of a blitz of the regulars but only a couple of reviews, nothing substantial. The Twenty for this week if we even manage it will be another pretty skewed effort. Oh well. Here's to a better next week ( Read more... )

We've said it before we'll say it again, Google is the benchmark of success. Search for either Arctic or Monkeys and the first thing that comes up is the Arctic Monkeys homepage. That is pretty damn elite ( Read more... )

Sway and Coldcut (featuring the utterly unmistakable voice of Rodney Manuva), a not very interesting effort from Tiga, Barefoot's faithless reinterpretation of Born Slippy, a good Idiot ( Read more... )

Just a quick round up, this week, of the returning Twenty Songs feature. The website is due for launch soon so you'll get to see what I'm actually talking about. Until then, rest safe in the knowledge that I've missed out about two months worth of charts. No. Exactly two months. December and January just fell off the chart. Oops ( Read more... )

Cleverly, for me, since I knew this week was going to be so hard for updates to the chart, I actually wrote it out in advance and updated it over the course of the week. All brains me. Man I'm falling asleep ( Read more... )

[We missed a week of Twenty Songs but we know nobody missed it so we don't care either ( Read more... )

she's not nice. she's pretty fucking far from nice. So it dawns on me, since everyone loves the Arctic Monkeys, that this isn't the first time this has happened ( Read more... )
