Inches by Les Savy Fav, Beauty and the Beat by Edan and Black Monk Time by the Monks (again).

Are The Monks that army band that the Fall did some covers of (Black Monk Theme and Shut Up!)?

Yeah, they're absolutely demented! I think the Fall covered "I Hate You" under the title "Black Monk Theme Part I". I haven't actually heard their cover but I love the original so I must get off my arse and do that soon. I recommend you track down a copy of Black Monk Time if you can, it's one of my favourites. They've got an electric banjo that is used as a rhythm instrument and their singer has got my favourite voice in the world. He sounds completely unhinged:

"Alright, my name's Gary.
Let's go, it's beat time, it's hop time, it's monk time now!
You know we don't like the army.
What army?
Who cares what army?
Why do you kill all those kids over there in Vietnam?
Mad Viet Cong.
My brother died in Vietnam!
James Bond, who was he?
Stop it, stop it, I don't like it!
It's too loud for my ears.
Pussy galore's comin' down and we like it.
We don't like the atomic bomb.
Stop it, stop it, I don't like it . . . stop it!
What's your meaning Larry?
Ahh, you think like I think!
You're a monk, I'm a monk, we're all monks!
Dave, Larry, Eddie, Roger, everybody, let's go!
It's beat time, it's hop time, it's monk time now!"

Erol Alkan - The Creeps (Steve Bug Remix)

Supertramp: Paris

'Mansard Roof' by Vampire Weekend. They're not a goth band, honest.

A friend of mine gave me some French Rap to mull over. It's pretty good actually, especially when then sample some British rap (just so Im can understand some!)

Oh and after years or searching the same friend managed to find me: Frank Bruno: Eye of the Tiger

It wasn't TTC was it? They've got a track called Leguman which is awesome. Can't understand a single word of it mind.

There's a track called "Dangerous" I do actually like it, although maybe it's a bit to Amercan for my liking, doesn't really seem to have its own sound, unlike say British Rap

I love TTC. Their fave track of mine is one you can't seem to buy anywhere. Travailler (orgasmic remix), at least i think that's it. They're best when produced by Para One, who is also brilliant.

Rachmaninov Concerto no 3. Takes a bit of getting used to, but by god it is an amazing piece of music:

Gunshot: Patriot Games

90's Brit Rap pisses over the US.

The Russian National Anthem

Justice - Genesis

A tonne of other random stuff as well, especially the Dragon Quest VIII soundtrack

Bit of Devil Driver blasting the remainder of my hangover outa me.

I just got a copy of it, that's great stuff. The way he shouts "stop it stop it! I don't like it" sounds like he's ready to crawl back into his bed in the asylum. That's one to stick on in the morning to get ready to face the world.
