Vito Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I may be persuaded to make an essential Blues compilation for the UKFF.Please do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Registration_Form Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Took the words right out of my mouth, Vito. My Delta Blues knowledge is limited to one early Robert Johnson album so a blues com would be great.  Anyway- Da Backwudz.  Album is really good, some really jazzy samples ('Welcome 2 Da Backwudz') and Kanye-like sped-up female vocals ('The World Could Be Yours') over bassy, laid back beats. Reminds me a bit of Outkast but not quite as experimental, bit more Southern (especially on songs like 'Getting 2 It')  Buuut.. this had a retro, anthemic guitar riff and is awesome. Just as grand as the vastly more popular 'What You Know' by T.I..  Da Backwudz- Lock and Load  Also, as I'm gonna go seen them next week..  The Melvins- Rat Faced Cranny  Drums~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkamarka Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) Charley Patton - A Spoonful BluesThis one goes way back. Thought that Robert Johnson invented the blues? Think again. Charley Patton was the godfather of the blues, and this is his best offering. he was so drunk when he recorded this song, no one has been able to decipher his lyrics.Ah, well I guess that explains the lyrics in Gomez - Charley Patton Songs - "I spent a lifetime / trying to decipher / Charley Patton songs". The song is actually - inappropriately, I guess - not bluesy at all, but I thought I'd post it anyway, since I mentioned it.Make the blues compilation - you know you want to.My real song of the day is a straight-up slice of indie from The Veils - the album isn't doing too much for me, it's a bit of a dour affair, but this song is joyously upbeat (musically at least).The Veils - Advice For Young Mothers To Be Edited April 26, 2007 by Parkamarka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbafish Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Have a random playlist going on my Ipod at the moment so adding the song that has been playing while I have been reading through the thread... Â AC/DC - Big Balls: Many of you will know this as Balls Mahoneys old ECW theme but is a class track in it's own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Chilly McFreeze Posted April 26, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2007 Looks like the UKFF will be getting a blues compilation then. It's gonna take a little while to piece together, I don't do compilations by halves. And with my connection, it'll take a while to upload. Is everybody gonna be ok to use winrar to unzip it?And any thoughts on the songs I posted last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Seven Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 After three days and nights of drinking in Galway, I've fallen in love all over again with the Dropkick Murphys. So here's three of my favourite tracks. Fans of The Departed should recognise the third one: Â Â 'The Gauntlet' Â 'Rocky Road To Dublin' Â 'I'm Shipping Up To Boston' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbafish Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Broken Family Band - Walking Back To Jesus Part Two  Awesome live band who have been on the scene for years but seriously overlooked. Catch them live if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkamarka Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Broken Family Band - Walking Back To Jesus Part TwoAwesome live band who have been on the scene for years but seriously overlooked. Catch them live if you can.This man know. Broken Family Band are superb live. They were my Glastonbury highlight a few years back when I just stumbled upon them in one of the smaller tents in the Green Fields. Really funny onstage banter, great songs, and a couple up the front even got engaged during the set. It was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkamarka Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 This thread's dropped off the main page far too much for my liking recently. Here's a random sixpack of songs, with no theme other than the theme of Me Thinking They Are Great: Â The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee Kidz in the Hall - Wassup Jo' The Decemberists - Billy Liar Etta James - At Last Aqueduct - Growing up with G'n'R Great Lake Swimmers - Your Rocky Spine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want more contributions from PC316, Weezage and d-d-d-daz especially. :DAnyways, today's tune comes from Sufjan Stevens. If you've never heard of the guy before, this is as good a place as any to start:'Chicago' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WU LYF 4 LYF Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sendspace? Why?Seriously though, I've just had a bit of time on my hands, and have been going through the thread, only to find most of the links are now dead. Don't places like YouSendIt and MegaUpload keep them up for months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 MegaUpload doesn't work for some and YouSendIt put a bigass virus into my PC one time.I'll stick with Sendspace for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
