Playlist from Moogie Wonderland 24 June

in Kent Scene

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. Herman Düne – Tell Me Something I Don’t Know

2. Belle & Sebastian – Your Cover’s Blown

3. The Hidden Cameras – The Mild Mannered Army

4. Tigercats – Banned at the Troxy

5. Butcher Boy – Carve a Pattern

6. Art Brut – Lost Weekend

7. Shrag – Hopelessly Wasted

8. Comet Gain – You Can Hide Your Love Forever

9. Heavenly – C Is The Heavenly Option

10. God Help the Girl – Perfection As A Hipster

11. Milky Wimpshake – True Love/Youth

12. Pants Yell! – Your Feelings Don’t Show

13. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – My Terrible Friend

14. Cats on Fire – Higher Grounds

15. The Wave Pictures – I Love You Like A Madman

16. Moustache of Insanity – Dinner Party

17. Allo Darlin’ – Let’s Go Swimming

18. Pocketbooks – Cross the Line

Indietracks Compilation 2011

in Indietracks

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, Jeffrey Lewis, The Hidden Cameras and Crystal Stilts are all well and good, but there’s a treasure trove of lesser known bands here too. There’s new songs from Butcher Boy, The Sweet Nothings and Pocketbooks, and some rare songs from likes of Moustache of Insanity and Help Stamp Out Loneliness. 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, The Whatevers and Sloppy Joe!

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.

First Indietracks announcements!

A little late out of the blocks on this one as BUSINESS has been getting in the way of important things like indiepop, but no matter. The first Indietracks bands have been announced!

Who

Jeffrey Lewis and The Hidden Cameras have both been announced as headliners.

Also added to the bill are Math and Physics Club, Zipper, The Garlands, The Sweet Nothings, The Wendy Darlings, Next Time Passions and Very Truly Yours.

About half of that lot makes me very excited, and the rest I don’t really know, so the whole exercise is off to a good start from my point of view.

When

The festival takes place this year between July 29 and 31. This is a week later than usual, so I sure hope you didn’t optimistically book a hotel last year. I almost did this, but thankfully waited until the date came out.

Where

The Midland Railway Centre of course! If you’re not familiar, it’s a fully working steam railway, which should have you signing up right there. Stages include both regular outdoor and indoor stages, but also more interesting venues like the small church and actually on moving trains.

How much

Yeah, it always comes down to that, doesn’t it?

A weekend adult pass is £60, with day tickets at £32.50. Children get in for a mere £10 for the weekend, or £6 a day. The price includes unlimited (UNLIMITED!) steam train rides. These prices are earlybird ones until May 6, when they will get a little more expensive. So you should probably get one right now then.

Wait, who’s playing again?

Yeah yeah, you just want some videos, don’t you?

Jeffrey Lewis – Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror

The Hidden Cameras – In The NA

Math and Physics Club – Jimmy Had A Polaroid

Zipper – A Good Man

The Garlands – David

The Pete Green Corporate Juggernaut – Hey, Dr Beeching

The Wendy Darlings – Sunday So Bored

Next Time Passions – Fly

Very Truly Yours – Things You Used To Say
