A record collection reduced to a mixtape

Hello all. Just a quicky today, I'm afraid. Three songs full of joy, regret and bleepy noises.


Kissy Sellout - Get Ready For The The K-Hole!

First up, Kissy Sellout is amazing. This track use a 90s dance track that I can't quite place (lemme know the name of the track in the comments) and raps all over the top, in a stream-of-conciousness account of his mental weekend. The story incorporates a bouncer called 'Big Roy', so you know its good.


Holy Fuck - Lovely Allen

These guys were one of my highlights of Glastonbury. I had a great time, though Monday morning was possibly the wettest I've ever been, stood in the queue for the train back to Castle Cary. Holy Fuck (I believe there's another, entirely different, band called Holy Shit) excel when it comes to home-made lo-fi electronica that recalls Out Hud and !!! at their most experimental.


Art Brut - Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag

Lastly, the mighty 'Brut are dropping their new album soon, and this is one of my favourites from it. On their last album, the music was very much secondary to Eddie Argos' vocals, but on this one the guitar and bass come to the fore a lot more. I think the sound benefits as a result. As usual, Argos' lyrics are fantastic - the song culminates with Argos howling 'I've got nothing for my peers but envy and hatred! How many girls have they seen naked?'. Can't wait for the full album release.

That's all for now. Enjoy!
