Pj Harvey - Down by the water

I first heard this tune while watching the basketball diaries years ago, the bit where they get freaky with pinky and blinky. Great movie, great fucking tune.

I could post the whole thing from start to finish its that good, probably one of the best, most varied electronic albums your likely to ever hear. It's called The Last Resort, buy it, download it, steal it.

I was fairly old when i was turned onto the clash. My parents didn't have a great record collection like some cool kids, unless your into mick flavin and charly pride? This was the first clash song i fell in love with and the rest quickly followed.

Battles - Atlas

Experimental madness from the album 'mirrored', featuring former Helmet drummer john stanier. Kinda sounds like the chipmonks on drugs.

The Field - The more that i do

This was the first track to be taken off 'yesterday and today', the second album by alex wilner aka the field. As with all his previous records he keeps it simple and subtle, but the end product is always the same, beautiful, blissful techno.

One of the lesser known tracks on what is probably a strong contender for greatest irish album of all time.

Clinic - The Second Line

Probably the best thing to come out of liverpool since that other four piece, what were they called? oh yeah, the La's.

The Wrens - Hopeless

Saw these guys in whelans a few years back and its still one of the best shows i've seen in there. This is taken off their brilliant 2003 album 'the meadowlands'. Check it out if you haven't heard it.

It took me a while to get into tv on the radio but it was worth the effort. Dear science was one of the best albums of last year and shout me out is one of the many highlights. Kinda the point at which the album drops its knickers....if that makes any sense.

Tv on the radio- Shout me out

One of the greatest songs ever to listen to on headphones. FACT

Black- Wonderful life

Good morning, just posting a few tunes i've been listening to quite a bit lately. Depeche modes stripped from 1986's black celebration still sounds so polished and before its time even now, hopefully dave manages to hold it together until december. Next up is santogold's lights out, i just really like this tune, it also makes me think of the dancing man at sasquatch. Which can only be a good thing. Last but not least for today is the horrors sea within a sea, so many different influences can be heard on this record its hard to name them all, but nonetheless a brilliant hypnotic beast of a tune, enjoy, tristan
