Half way to the weekend and I don't know about you, but I need some motivation. I've put together a mix of some old and new indie/alternative rock tunes, which may do the trick. Enjoy.
This is my second attempt at home DJing using a great free program for Windows called Mixx. Definately the program to get if you are ever considering it. Easy to use and is a playground for your creativity.
Angel Eyes: Like a little music with your meal, Tuco?
Tuco: Music? Yeah, it's very good. It's very good for the digestion.
You can make your own minds up as to the category these few find themselves in ... some of the good the bad and well you know ... These few little nuggets of buried treasure are still available to buy in an Independent record shop so if you dig em go & buy them ... new bands ? new releases ? some been out a while ? .... who cares ? ..... one or two might be worth a shoot out over though have a listen ?

X RAY SPEX - GERM FREE ADOLESCENTS Synthetic sister with the thought problem straightens out, she gets un-weirded, her product keeps in line; This is unheard of XRS. for instance it does not perform at the speed of sound the angle is SLOW DOWN, a modern ballad meets Baba o'Reilly. Synthesisers meet mechanik Shirly Bassey. Poly cracks and swallows and wades through. Sticky but not obbsessive. Perhaps not a hit. But an attempt at changes - at this career point its vital.
