A mixed bag for me some really good tunes and some not so good.

Really good:

Snow
Users
Valentine 69

I heard a little shoegaze element in these tracks and definitely want to hear the album Submarine.

Not so good:

First 4 tracks
Ghost Of Elvis.

The sort of thing I call chinga chinga music - sort of jangle pop with not much going on with non descript guitar strumming.

The good were really good though and that's another album on my hit list. Cheers.

Heartworm is the best album of the 90's though.

Presenting...

The Beginner's Guide to...

Carissa's Wierd

What a truly amazing band this is... It is only at certain points in your life where the phrase - "words cannot describe" truly perfectly fit well into a situation. One of those situations in which this phrase will fit perfectly well into is when describing Carissa's Wierd.

I first found this band in my journey for that dual male, female vocals, and it was actually Jackhammer that introduced me to them and well... since then I never looked back.

This band... is cripplingly depressing. The emotion is raw... the lyrics heartbreaking, yet perfect. Combining piano with violins and the sweet sounds of the accordion, together with soft guitars this band defines the essence of sadcore. Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto are a truly powerful dual performance and the melancholy in their voices will resound with real emotions...

Do yourself a favor and give this a listen... and never look back...

Track Listing

1. Brooke Daniel's Tiny Broken Fingers
2. You Should Be Hated Here
3. Silently Leaving The Room
4. The Colour That Your Eyes Changed With The Colour of Your Hair
5. Die
6. Lazy Eyelids
7. So You Wanna Be A Superhero
8. A Loose Hair Falls into a Glass of Water...
9. Ignorant Piece of Shit
10. Blessed Arms That Hold You Tight, Freezing
11. The Piano Song
12. All Apologies and Smiles, Yours Truly,...
13. They'll Only Miss You When You Leave
14. The Ghost of a Dead Hummingbird Flying...
15. Sophisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave Me Alone
16. You Should Be At Home Here

Be Touched By The Hand of God!

The Beginner's Guide To Pulp

Pulp were one of the most popular, and best, British groups of the 1990's, with the albums His'N'Hers and Different Class establishing their leader Jarvis ****er as a songwriter who could articulate adolescence, sex and the problems it brought, and social division brilliantly and making him an unlikely icon. However, Pulp had been struggling in obscurity for a decade beforehand, with a constantly changing lineup and sound, which evolved from the folkish pop of their It debut, to the synthpop which they would make their name with. Whilst their post-Different Class work may have failed to scale the same commercial heights, there was no drop in quality with This Is Hardcore being possibly their best album. I hope this primer gives you some idea as to the range and quality of Jarvis' songwriting, in order to appreciate there being more to Pulp than Disco 2000 and Common People.Neither of which I've included.

1.Babies
2.My Legendary Girlfriend
3.This Is Hardcore
4.I Spy
5.My Lighthouse
6.Live Bed Show
7.Help The Aged
8.Do You Remember The First Time?
9.They Suffocate At Night
10.Wickerman
11.Countdown
12.FEELINGCALLEDLOVE
13.Bad Cover Version
14.Glory Days
15.Last Day Of The Miner's Strike

Tracks 1,8 from His'N'Hers
Tracks 2,11 from Seperations
