Twenty Songs, 15th October 2006A day late this week thanks to the new site. As we only include songs in the Twenty that we bought or had bought for us (or given to us, to be fair) and we don't include MySpace demos very little of the music that has populated this week is in here. However, even if it wasn't the bulk of what we were listening ( Read more... )

We blame ourselves. We came up with this genre name, indexia, and it was a shit name for a genre and it was an ill defined genre at that. I mean, it made sense and it was all well and good and indexia is an averagely decent play on words but it's not the right type of word for a genre. Indie remixes is what we were trying to mention but, to be ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 8th October 2006It was an interesting Twenty this week but a good one, definitely. More than usual we kept track of the songs we were listening to throughout the week and that gives us a bit more variety than we usually get in the twenty, with songs from the past year rather than just the past week cropping up. Plus a couple we've ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 24th September 2006

It's not been a bad week this week here at the Unlixes Castle. I mean, we're totally out of money all together and we hate all our so-called friends but ignoring that we're all good. The Twenty this week has been influenced by the return of the Portable Device which lets us ignore the public even more easily by ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 17th September 2006

To be fair the songs we listened to mostly this week were on OhSpace, in the form of Gay Against You, Cutting Pink With Knives and so forth but the first rule of the Twenty is that we have to own the song and have purchased it or been given it somewhat more officially than a drafty Space version or briefly caught ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 30th July 2006Wow. How late is this. Bah. I'm also doing this write up on the back of a wash out night. With early shift hours to blame I totally missed the Marquis Cha Cha night last night at the Thursday regular. My dancing partner and I were supposed to be arriving en mask (ho ho ho) but instead I slept on the sofa in front of ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 25th June 2006The last Twenty for June and it's been a good month. This, too, is a good selection although crazy home events and subsequent (and, to be honest, preceding) lack of money has meant it's been a new music free week. We almost put the J Spaceman remix of Camera in but the hi fi was stolen before we got chance to listen to ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 11th June 2006A combination of having a visitor over, some sporting tournament in Germany or something (curling? showjumping? dressage! must be), the recent theft of my spare phone (not as bourgeois as it sounds) and this stupid British weather (why isn't it ever like the stereotype anymore) means that this week's Twenty is A Bit ( Read more... )

I love the idea of indietronica. Indie crossed with leftfield electronic music I guess is the idea. Except, sorry, what are the boundaries of both genres? Indie is pretty much anything with guitars and songs that isn't too loud or too jagged, leftfield music is anything where the live instruments are just a small part of the general mix but isn't ( Read more... )
