[Glice]

Got mine from Paulybee this morning, just finished listening to it (before I go out on the piss for the evening).

It's a great tape, so thanks to Pauly and Danny 'Faciliatator' Himself.

Side 1:

Starts with the Boredoms - Monster Rex... which is in their silly phase rather than the hippy bollocks of Seadrum, which is infinitely preferable; Trumans Water next, who I've not given enough time to and do sound like I'm Being Good, although I'm Being Good are better la la la I can't hear you. Daughters next, nice racket; Pere Ubu next, who I've neglected and are actually quite good; DJ Scotch Egg next, and I have to pause here for a round of applause [insert applause emoticon] because Scotch Egg is fucking amazing and a brilliant live show and deeply, deeply silly in an utterly great way. Prurient follows, who sits very nicely in there. I don't 'like' like Prurient, but in this context a bit of sub-Masonna squealing fits very nicely; Coughs up next, good, fun rackety things; Rub next, a new name on me, does an amusing London [I assume] 'ting which is funny without being annoying
; The Flying Luttenbachers next, who I dismissed on first listen because I'm clearly a dick and clearly entirely wrong on very rare ocassions - fucking brilliant; Next Lee Ranaldo, who if I'm honest does my head in with his poetry, but that's not really a problem. It's pleasant enough, just moderately annoying; Next is Boris' veil (part 7) which is more of their 'rocking out' stuff than the dirgey drones I tend to prefer. Good band though.


Side 2:

Sundburned Hand of the Man - Don't like this band, but this is not entirely offensive, quite a change of pace from the preceding side. I'll insert a compliment here on the sequencing of this tape, which is superlative. Next the Skaters, who are brilliant, and this track has reminded me that I should invest in a record because in spite of not liking a lot of this noisy drift that's very popular at the moment, I like them a great dea; The Magik Markers, who are another band I obviously didn't hear the right stuff for first time, this is quite enjoyable in an opiated rock out sort of way; Vampire Can't next, fun guitar racket again; Afrirampo follows, not my thing, but it's short; NWW up next, who, obviously, are brilliant, as everyone knows; Agata up next - didn't like his album, but, yet again, in the context of a mixtape this works terrifically well; Aidan Walsh and the Masterplan up next - another new name, this is probably not my thing, but it's a mixtape so hey, let's go along with it; Cassette Boy closes the tape, I haven't heard him for years, I've still got a few tapes/ CDs of his from c.2001/2, he's a bit of a one-trick pony, but is definitely tailor-made for inclusion on mixtapes.

Ace tape, cheers Mr Bee.

Oh, and the artwork's a green insect on the lid of an eyeball, which is somewhat disturbing (I have a weird thing about my eyes, I'm not squeamish for anything except that involving the eyes).

Rushed response, I must shower and get on a train, but thanks again.
