WHAT DO WE HAVE FOR ENTERTAINMENT? THE CLASH!

THE CLASH is all in all no.1 of my downloads.

Considering that PAUL WELLER's recent release "Wake Up The Nation" had more downloads in one day than the above mentioned no.1 has in full, the real no.1 is (although deleted by megaupload) PAUL WELLER. Nonetheless, THE CLASH is obviously the most demanded band of
THIS IS INDIE!

MORRISSEY Best Of (My Recent Burglary Years) 2009

Talking of "Best Ofs" there is one artist of whom quite a few have been released. And for a Morrissey-addict like me they were all a bit disappointing.

I'm sure that everybody out there in www would compile a completely different "Best Of" - This is the parting of the ways.

But THIS is MINE:

THE HOUSEMARTINS Now That's What I Call Fuckin' Brilliant!

On every regularly available "Best Of"-collection of any band in the world there are always songs that I personally would never ever
a) release as a single (e.g. "Zombie" of The Cranberries) or
b) put on a "Best Of" release - single or not.

Here is my personal "Best Of The Housemartins" because in my opinion "Now That's What I Call Quite Good!" was far behind their possibilities.

THE HOUSEMARTINS - Now That's What I Call Fuckin' Brilliant!
01 Happy Hour
02 Get Up Off Our Knees
03 Anxious
04 Reverends Revenge
05 Sitting On A Fence
06 Sheep
07 Over There
08 We're Not Deep
09 Freedom
10 The Mighty Ship
11 The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death
12 The World's on Fire
13 We're Not Going Back
14 Me and the Farmer
15 Five Get Over Excited
16 You Better Be Doubtful
17 Bow Down
18 Everyday's the Same
19 Drop Down Dead
20 Hopelessly Devoted to Them
21 Caravan of Love
22 Flag Day
23 The Light Is Always Green
24 Build

All killers - No fillers!(OK, except for the last 4 slow songs that should be on this compilation anyway.)
Enjoy as much as I do...

FOR THE DEAD - The Leather Nun Plays Abba

This post is for my best friend ever who has killed himself more than 3 years ago now but is still and will forever be my best friend. (I hope you read this you stoopid asshole!)

Today I finally managed to find proper mp3 files of OUR drinking songs from

THE LEATHER NUN:

Gimme Gimme Gimme

Lucky Strike

on MUSIC BLOG OF SALTYKA AND HIS FRIENDS (Thanks to Sweden!!!)

Personally, I only have them on a tape and in incredibly poor condition on vinyl.
