Mr. Seven Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Haven't heard enough to call myself a fan, but I like what I've heard. Â Today's song is Paper Wings by Rise Against. If you've played Burnout 3 you might recognise it. It's incredibly fast, energetic and uplifting, and I'll be hearing it live in just over a month. One of my favourite songs ever.

Weezage Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Good fucking choice, Seven, Rise Against are absolutely incredible. Â My choice for today is a song by possibly the best band in history. Â Jawbreaker - Sluttering (May 4th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted March 29, 2007 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2007 This is from William Elliott Whitmore, who I was utterly convinced was an ageing black bluesman until photographic evidence revealed he is in fact a young, white, tatted-up redneck. He sounds like he's walked straight off the set of O Brother, Where Art Thou? with nothing but the shirt on his back and a battered old gee-tar. He was also the source of one of my biggest musical disappointments of last year, when he cancelled playing Twisted Folk in Sale at the last minute. Regardless, he's still a dude... this is off his album-before-last, Ashes to Dust:William Elliott Whitmore - MidnightThat's a real cool song. I'd like to hear more of his stuff...Glad you like it, and more than happy to oblige. This is the opener off his latest album, Song of the Blackbird:William Elliott Whitmore - Dry Corking. When I get back to a PC that isn't as locked down as Gordon Brown's spending I'll upload some Seasick Steve. Now them's the blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the man on Jools Holland and he's amazing.His album is half bawlin' blues and half rambling old tramp (Sickboy's word filter swoops in). "Y'know there wuz this time I was in the clink, and this dawg jus' kept follerin' me aroun'..." etc.I'll buzz it up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted March 29, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2007 Been away from work for a few days but this is a great idea! Â I can't seem to get enough of this band at the moment, they seem to just make everything okay. Â You might recognise this one from the Life Aquatic soundtrack: Â http://www.sendspace.com/file/3qi7hv'>Sigur Ros - Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Keeping things Scandinavian, today's song is from a Danish indie band called Mew. It's a little different but rewarding: Â The Zookeeper's Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkamarka Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The Raveonettes - Ode to L.A. Â The Raveonettes are clearly huge Lynch fans, so I was always going to like them. Everything they do is steeped in '50s Americana, and this song is a great example, and you bet your ass I listened to it driving through L.A. Features one of the Ronettes on guest vocals, despite the fact they came about a decade too late for the Raveonettes to be bothered about 'em. I guess they liked the name, though. Â PS - The Seasick Steve ruled. As did the Mew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted March 30, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted March 30, 2007 Heading up to Cheltenham tonight for the last ever Chaos Engine gig. In lieu of the fact I don't have any Chaos Engine on my work PC, here's a track that'll always make me think of Judder, the night Lee Chaos now runs.
