Oh man I just found this song on my random that I had entirely forgotten about, now I kinda wish I'd put it on my mix.

Gomez! Fucking great band, so my jam in school. My mates took the piss and called it dad-rock, lol. Bring It On is such a mint record man. The lead guitar on this track sounds incredible:
Gomez - Get Myself Arrested
I have no idea what pedals/filters he uses but it sounds so boss. Love this tune, love that riff.

Aye, they were a proper top band, one of my obsessions at age 14-16. For a time I had (and still have as MP3s) every single and B-side they ever did. Probably more mint stuff in the offcuts than is even on the albums.
Looking back at them it's hilarious all the weed references that went right over my head at that age. I thought when he was singing about "only growing for me" it was a gay thing and he was talking about his cock. Which shows how not-homophobic I was as a 15 year old in 1998 /proud
Also, how awesome is my boss? I just got the following email: "Are we kicking ass or what what could possibly go wrong over the next couple of months?" which was very nice of him because I've been working my arse off lately (lots and lots that can go wrong with Exams). His daughters bake cakes too and he bought me blueberry muffins in last week too. What a bro.

Sweet! Glad you've had a nice time mate.
Oh god! I haven't listened to them in years, I never put that together either. Teenage me:
Me and my mates all thought the same, that it was some homosexual euphemism. Of course, being a shortarse, I always got "he never grows, for guys he knows and me". :/
And yeah, your boss sounds like a swell guy!
Awesome tunes guys, hadn't heard them before. I'm working on a playlist focused on rock and hip hop now. Will check out the mixes I haven't heard yet in the meantime.
Loved this Gomez video in particular : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgizC2R6_l8

Gomez fanboys all up in here. A couple more:
Gomez - Get Miles
So moody, amazing lyrics.
Gomez - Whippin' Piccadilly
Such a fun tune. MancGAF represent.
I hammered Bring It On mainly. Liquid Skin has a fond place in my heart too. Ben Ottewell's voice is so good man, perfect croaky, bluesy inflection.

I'm not an audiophile by any means so maybe I'm just easily impressed but the sound quality felt great on this.
- There's something wrong with 8bit's nature!
- I'm not a politician, I'm a business-man!
Good stuff.

Ta! I can't be bothered faffing with photos but I got some good comic books, a big chunky fashion illustration book, some earrings and some nice records. There you go.
Perhaps of more interest, there's a Trials Fusion demo on PSN, so I tried it. Not easy, is it?! I did laugh out loud quite a lot though, it's great fun watching your poor little driver get bashed about. The "Cindy" voice is very annoying though. Judging by how far everyone else is ahead of me, I doubt I'll ever get into it, but it's obviously pretty good.
I'm wondering about Child of Light - the reviews are a bit mixed so I dunno. I'm about 160 odd percent into Fez but the puzzles that are left are the really hard ones (at least to me).
Which comics? Which records? Glad to hear it was a good time.
Played Trials Fusion at PAX East and had a good time. Thing is I still have a lot of the last game to get through, so don't know if it's worth picking this one up just yet. Did you try the trick system at all? That's new and makes for some hilarious wipeouts.

Got Acrid's mix on the go. Tighten Up is a damn AMAZING song, if nothing else this mix has put that in my life. Only on track 2 but holy damn is that loud compared to the first track lmao. Loudness wars just dropped a nuke.
Yeah unfortunately I didn't do anything to the levels of each track. It happens again (this time from consistent volume to lower). The plights of having new recordings in the last 10 years and recordings from 40+ years ago. :/ As such headphones aren't really good for it. I'm bad.
I kind of threw some random shit in the end there, which is why I'm working on another I want to be a lot tighter.
edit: Was originally going to throw all of the tracks in audacity and have one big track, would have equalized then. Oversight on my part when I didn't.
Mike, Brand New
. Liking this mix a lot.Bon. It doesn't take much encouragement..
These two Drawn & Quarterly books (White Cube is hilarious, it's about two pink-headed twins who go around doing 'art' in real life):
More books:
I like outsider art and music and this sounded good:
Josephine Foster is one of my favourite musicians ever:
From what I listened to, this is Welsh folk music but played with Chinese musicians in China:
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Why do the burglars have flashlights during the day, lmao
Mike this Twin Peaks cover is so good. All I need too B|.
edit: Hahahahahaha
These two (White Cube & The Gentle Good) covers are very enticing. White Cube sounds like fun I'll have to keep an eye out. Looking at google images this is pretty funny.(White Cube is hilarious, it's about two pink-headed twins who go around doing 'art' in real life):

Blew me away. Those riffs are just thunderous.
Amazing track.
Sounds like you got some decent goodies Sploat, happy days. And yeah, Trials is a cruel mistress, it's got more a learning cliff than a curve. I like the look of Child of Light, Eurogamer seemed impressed, and it's built on that UbiArt engine they used for Rayman if that convinces you!
Is that Tighten Up by The Black Keys? Choice if so.
Yours won't load Acrid, just says so in a pop-up box. How do I play rar files? Will they not play in VLC?
Forgot Ninja doesn't own a computer. Christ almighty I'll need to upload the tracks individually, doing so now. Not sure if the tags will work for ninja, hopefully they do. Jed did they appear as the track listing has them? If it had Tighten Up then Space Wax America then solid.
edit: Kudos on the Shellac by the way.

Woah Acrid, don't do that mate.
JB, I have a laptop, that's how I've been listening to everyone else's. It just won't play that file for some reason.

Yay!
Cheers for putting up the ones I cancelled upload of, was lagging some stuff I was in the middle of. Here's hoping it matches the track list when you get em Ninja!

Fuck, that's Bob Hoskins is't it?
Thanks for listening to it, writing that up and getting the old posts restored to the blog has been a remarkably enjoyable experience and has helped diffuse some frustrations I've had this year.
I'll try to get on with listening to some of the other mixes soon, promise!

Yeah it's a cool little blog. I'd definitely follow your posts since your musical recommendations on here have always been top shelf.Fuck, that's Bob Hoskins is't it?

Ooh this looks like a cool event, never been to the Loading Bar but they're going to have the launch of Sportsfriends. That cool looking indie sports game collection. Sister is up for it, would be nice to have fun after my final day of exams.

Gave Roger Rabbit a watch, just now, in light of Bob Hoskins' death.
Mike, Brand New
Glad you enjoyed, buddy - Brand New are my favourite band right now, they're great recorded and they're fucking AMAZING live.
Field Mouse are exciting too - I'm waiting for them to finish up their debut album & get it out there.
There's something about fresh, new bands in the early days of putting out content, isn't there? It's all so dangerous & unpredictable.

Any idea how enjoyable they'd be for someone who has only vaguely listened to them? I'm probably gonna watch them when they play on Friday (might be Saturday, I forget), but can only really remember a couple of songs.
I think they'll still be really enjoyable - it's an intense set they're playing right now and they play a lot of their old songs in interesting and fun ways but the main thing is that they sound great, they've got a quiet/loud dynamic that's awesome live & a lot of showmanship.
I'd say give a listen to Deja Entendu and The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me to see what you think & get a bit more familiar with their stuff.
Either way you're in for a treat.
Need to listen again but the Los Campesinos track may be my favorite.
It was hot as a mother today so I decided to make the drive here and veg out a bit with some playlists and reading.
Love the drive to that beach in particular, it's like our own Akagi for anyone who knows Initial D. Nice long windy road with a lot of elevation change for those who don't.

hmm, gonna' dread seeing the horrid 'journalism' regarding geldof's cause of death.
Papa BBW sounds like a shady cat.
Maaaan, should've snuck into your luggage and stayed in San Fran
Dat sunshine/beach combo yo!Papa BBW's.
I think I've successfully managed to convey that I do actually listen to stuff outside of Mario theme tunes.

Since the hard drive in my laptop died I've been curiously not upset by the whole thing. I can still get the internet at home via the PS4's dogshit browser or on my phone but generally I've been getting along by doing things like watching programmes on iPlayer (I don't have a TV, there is no communal space with a TV). So i've been watching things I haven't seen in a while like Pointless which I really enjoy, Richard Osman ftw.
I've been getting to bed at better times and I've actually been reading for the first time in months since my evenings are usually split between PS4, general browsing and eating.
The only thing I miss is being able to watch GoT as it comes out (after getting around Virgin's blocking). As of now I have no way to watch the new episodes so I'm stuck at three episodes in.
Another prime concern is me time. Nuff said.
I've investigated the laptop and removing the hard drive won't be complicated. I plan to just replace the hard drive but I'm wondering if I need to look beyond size (2.5 inch) and size (500GB) for compatability.

This is why you should come to more meets, we went to Loading after Eurogamer last year, although that was in it's previous location. I've not been to the new site yet, will be checking it out soon at some point no doubt.
What the hell is Fakegaf?
Hi sploat! Sounds like you had some nice time off, it's always sucky going back to work after.
I'm off to a script meeting with my comic book guys later, should be a blast!

Pointless is brill. Classic 'shout-answers-at-the-telly' stuff.
I think I've only ever got two pointless answers though: one about Beach Boys singles, and one about US state capitals.
