Aw, come off it. Playlists are cheating!
best You Am I track, EVAR. almost makes up for listening to the Whitlams. almost. ;)
you know, i somehow doubt there’ll ever be a band, ‘the Lathams’.
I like The Whitlams, sometimes. Not that song, though. More like “I Make Hamburgers”.
Best You Am I track? No, I think Darp’s is better. And I like Tim Rogers’ “Making Toast”, though I doubt he’s sober enough to play it these days. :-(
You are all class, Darp. The rainbow Connection… Someday we’ll find it
The Rainbow Connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Dude, Soviet Valves :P Again, top score for obscurity.
10 most recently played songs on the elmopod
oh boy, do i love a good bandwagon! 1. Shit Scheisse Merde – !!! 2. Invocation – and you will know us by the trail of dead 3. Whoo Hoo – 5,6,7,8’s 4. Lemon – u2 5. The Golden Age…
Bestest Tim Rogers song would surely be ‘Paragon Cafe’.
“wound up on the toilet floor bleedin’, which seems so appropriate somehow.”
Hm I’m quite a fan of ‘Damage’ (esp. the version covered by Adalita from Magic Dirt on JJJ LATW) and ‘Who put the devil in you’ and ‘Hourly Daily’. I also find it hard to go past ‘Heavy Heart’.
Oh, also the one sung by Bernard Fanning for the Dirty Deeds soundtrack. I forget the name.
Yeah, yeah, I could narrow it down for you…

I believe this proves what many have suspected for a while: that I am deeply, deeply uncool.
My friends, well they were my friends, like Le Tigre. Other than that, I really haven’t heard of any of it. Thus leaving open the possibility for a top ten fave vinyls for sad old bastard thirty-somethings. It would have to include Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and possibly Real Life.
Oh hang on, Mark beat me to it.
I will not hear a word against Spandau Ballet
sometimes it pays off to be bored and browse the net in search of some info about your own band ;)
Robert, the inclusion of “Gift” on your list is one of the highlights of my “career” with Soviet Valves! and it means a lot.
we play Fri 25 at the Hyde Park Hotel, then we’re back in studio for more recording on Sat and Sun.
Cheers!
