It’s been a while since I was in the mood to put one of these together. But the sun’s been shining and I’ve gone and booked myself a trip to Toronto next month to meet up with some great friends. Golf and baseball is going to be the agenda of the days.
Have decided that a few new 1-hour compilations will be required for the journey. First one turns out to be a few seconds over the prescribed time limit:-
mp3 : Various – Breaking the Curfew by 20 Seconds
The ideal soundtrack, not just for plane rides but outdoor barbecues and your own private indie-style disco dancing event.
Take The Skinheads Bowling – Camper Van Beethoven
What’s The World – James
Picture This – Blondie
(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville – R.E.M.
Pulling Mussels From The Shell – Squeeze
Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) – Arcade Fire
You Are the Generation That Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve – Johnny Boy
Can You Forgive Her? – Pet Shop Boys
Michael – Franz Ferdinand
Native Land – Everything But The Girl
Emma’s House – The Field Mice
What – Judy Street
Hang Ten – Soup Dragons
Cattle and Cane – The Go-Betweens
Town Called Malice – The Jam
Pure – The Lightning Seeds
Punka – Kenickie
Everything Flows – Teenage Fanclub
Enjoy. And download till your heart is full….
THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN 
Can’t fault you hear JC! Just wish I had more friends that would appreciate this playlist while sitting in the shade eating BBQ on a hot Tampa Saturday afternoon.
Outstanding work.
And (shameless plug alert) if you need some top-up 45-minute compilations (one side of a C90, perfect), I recommend http://www.spreaker.com/user/8595001 …but then I would, wouldn’t I?
Excellent mix. The third blog in as many days to feature that REM track. Are they back in fashion this month?
