The annual booze based tear-up billed as the Sad Lads CD Swap, will be upon us soon(ish). A two-part pub do where CDs of newbie bits compiled by Piley, Marmite, Coops, E F Rice, Jack Gestures, Paul Glasses, myself and others are swapped in November and reprised by an end of year re-meet for evening's nattering about our year's best beats and bobs. The rules are straight forward: see E F's regulations footnoting this post.
My '09 selection box was weighted with 80% vintage bits. This year it's possibly 70/30 in favour of new tunes. Dipping through a year's listening, highlights how many oddities and offcuts remain unblogged and lingering on the sub's bench. Blitzen Trapper are a premium example. On heavy rotation at home or out and about - but not a peep to be seen in my (award winning) cyberspace scrapbook..
Blitzen Trapper - Fire & Fast Bullets
Blitzen Trapper - Saturday Nite
Just one Blitzen bit will be making the final cut - I'm not sure which yet, but once my compo's finalised I may clonk a Ltd Edt mix in the blog
Them's The Rules....
1. Circulate to everyone a CD no longer than 80 minutes in length, containing tracks for new groups you have either got into for the first time this year or established artists you have perhaps picked up an old track/album for this year.
2. You may have more than one track for an artist on the CD (although 80 mins of Springsteen would be pushing it)
3. You supply all those taking part with a CD including a full track listing. The CDs will be circulated on a date in early November down The **** (date will be decided nearer the time).

looking forward to it Mondo - finished pulling my tracks together last night. 20 Golden (?) Greats from 2010!
Where the hell did you get that picture of Jack and Paul?? Never seen that one before.
My PM's Annual Report (or PM's Suggestion Time) is almost sorted: 22 tracks, but haven't checked the running time yet - so may have to nip a bit..
Are we naming names on tracklistings? Last year's tracks were anon, for lending an impartial ear..
I thought him on the left was me without the Rooster-Rug
I'd go with Saturday Nite - that's top 2 minute pop. Bit of a sudden ending though.
Loving the latest podcast. I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that Ray of Light was a cover!!!
I'm tempted but wasn't sure if Saturday was a bit Scissor Sisters compared to Fire/Bullets' Supergrassy feel.
Shocker about Curtiss/Muldoon isn't it - I'd heard clips but never the full thing. Albums pretty good too..
Do you get the landlord of the boozer to play said toons as you give 'em the scores on the doors?
Norra chance - John it's Wetherspoons venue: cheap booze, but but no tunes.

Retromania a go-go and vintage vibes. You may even find some post millenium ones on me 2010 one. Didn't you have a Stones tune from 20005 on your comp?
Yup, and Beatles!
the listen with impartiality idea has been canned by the way. A track listing is to go with each CD. I liked that bit but hey ho
I've got a Beatles one my new list, a fab remix I found last week.
