The Unfortunate Death of The Lords

I've put the call out for this year's 'best of' CDRs, since we seem to be coming up to the end of 2006 with very little left to be released of interest, save the Tom Waits triple which is due later this month, and the Jarvis Cocker LP, which sounds interesting.

13 folks have signed up so far, which will make some work for me with the posting and copying etc, but it's always interesting to see what tracks people have chosen. I keep tinkering with my final list, adding and extracting tunes which I can't quite decide on. One constant from the day I heard it is by Lords - 'The Unfortunate Death of The Lords' from the LP of earlier this year, 'This Ain't A Hate Thing, It's a Love Thing'. And they are from Nottingham! See! It's not all Paper Lace and KWS round here y'know...

Am sorely tempted to include a track from the Ginger LP of earlier this year, partly because he still writes great pop metal anthems, and partly because it will annoy people who will hear it sat in the middle of the predominantly acoustic and sensitive singer songwriterly choices which are likely to abound in the the final selection.

The only other really rowdy LP which I think may make my final cut is the Archie Bronson Outfit, but there's Primal Scream and Secret Machines in there too. Aside from that, things look very stark and acoustic compared to previous years, and I guess that may be an effect of the Green Man festival...
