Last night was our second DJing experience, and it was rather a contrast to the first time around.  It was all rather last minute, meaning I didn’t have five weeks to fret about song choices.  It was in a coffee shop instead of a bar with a dance floor, and given the rain and other factors, there wasn’t exactly a big turnout.  Didn’t matter though as I still ended up enjoying myself immensely.  Here’s what I played:

1. – Tell Me Something I Don’t Know

2. Belle & Sebastian – Your Cover’s Blown

3. – The Mild Mannered Army

4. – Banned at the Troxy

5. – Carve a Pattern

6. – Lost Weekend

7. – Hopelessly Wasted

8. – You Can Hide Your Love Forever

9. – C Is The Option

10. – Perfection As A Hipster

11. – True Love/Youth

12. – Your Feelings Don’t Show

13. – My Terrible Friend

14. – Higher Grounds

15. – I Love You Like A Madman

16. – Dinner Party

17. Allo Darlin’ – Let’s Go Swimming

18. – Cross the Line

Indietracks Compilation 2011

It’s June, so it must mean it’s time for the obligatory Indietracks compilation album. Sadly this year it won’t be released on CD in an attempt to reduce costs, meaning you’ll have to burn your own discs for the long drive up. On the other hand, as it’s a download only, you can pay whatever you like for it with all proceeds going to the lovely Midland Railway Centre. Every year they put up with us descending on them, so it’s nice to be able to give them a little something back.

The release comes with some spectacularly good music for your money as well. Tracks from headliners Herman Dune, , and are all well and good, but there’s a treasure trove of lesser known bands here too. There’s new songs from , and , and some rare songs from likes of and . Then you’ve got all of the bands that you’re suddenly a fan of by the time you’ve finished the release. Looking at you Wendy Darlings, and !

There’s so much good stuff here that it’s almost criminal that you can have the release from whatever price you want. That even includes nothing, but that would make you WORSE THAN HITLER, so you won’t be doing that, will you? You can stream the entire thing below, and you can buy it from the Make Do and Mend Records Bandcamp page.

Herman Düne – Tell Me Something I Don’t Know

It’s only in the last few months that I’ve got properly into , despite being a fan of one or two of their songs for a few years now.  But I’m delighted to have discovered them just as a new album is on the way.  In advance of that, we have this wonderful little video for first single Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.  It’s one of those videos that could easily take away from the song, given you’ve got the band competing with both a cute blue monster and man of the moment Jon Hamm for attention.  The song remains the centre here though, and with a bit of luck, this kind of video will bring a fair bit more attention to the band.

The new Herman Düne album is entitled Strange Moosic, and will be released on June 6 via Fortuna POP!.  By some random crazy happenstance, the band will also play XOYO on that day.  And if it’s not exactly like the gig portrayed in the video above, I’m going to be sorely disappointed.
