Right, I'm all on my own next week, so, if people are quick, I'm happy to arrange a new Summer Santa 2016 NSC CD. If you want in, please confirm by, oooh, 20:00 hours on Tuesday 24th May......

Is it time yet...? ???

Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono A morning mare rides, in the starless shutters of my eyes This lyric is stored in a corner of my mind somewhere and springs to life every time the theme of terrible lyrics is broached. Together with: I don't want to see a ghost It's the sight that...

I'd have probably had a punt - hard to say after the event who I would have said though. I'm sure you'd have been on the shortlist though - I think eclectic mixes are the way forward for these CDs, like a lucky dip.

Should there be an automatic ban from the next round for CDs not reviewed and/or not sent?

I think you can sneak in a metal track or three too. My knowledge of HM is limited to the era 1981-1983. I was fairly shocked when I first heard Metallica's Metal Militia - sounds fairly normal now but at the time thrash metal was new. I think I was always more of an AC/DC type though.

OK. Thanks to my sender - clearly a fan of hard rock and metal, but with a lighter side and an open mind on other genres, especially gravitating towards music of black origin. This was almost a disc of two halves - lots of rock, then it changed direction and closed on a classic note. My...

Just to add a few bits of information to your (excellent) post: yes, Huggy Bear were a riot live, you always remember gigs with a palpable tension in the air. There were usually hecklers and songs that went wrong, but that's (boy girl) revolution for you. The Go! Team track is a bit poppy, a...

My guess would be Theatre of Trees - the artwork swings it and the eclectic indie-based but avoiding the obvious mix.

not me, although I think I have three of those tracks. It's a mystery.....

You were right the first time - it was me. Sorry for the delay - just back from holiday. I can address your review points, when I have a moment. Thanks for the detailed review, always makes it worthwhile when the recipient makes the effort! Cheers....

Hey, my CD arrived! Thanks whoever it was. Not sure who the sender is yet. Looks like it's quite heavy, but with a fair bit of variation - funk, electronica and punk (amongst other genres) are all represented. Who makes a CD like this then, eh? 16 tracks, one song I already have (Boris - Pink)...

It's a pity - it's a lovely tune. Why do these musicians have to insert filth into their songs?

My wife gets a bit annoyed with C86 soundalikes - TBH, she got a bit impatient with your 4xCD collection, but, since I was driving, I got to choose the music and it stayed on. Apart from the song about "She broke his...in two" - someone had to think of the children.

Everybody's coming home for lunch these days....

Wouldn't be the first time we've hijacked this thread with whimsical indie talk - we need to be more disciplined. When's my CD going to be reviewed?

Lia obviously sees this as a stepping stone to becoming the darling of the Indietracks thread. I have quite a few Elefant releases to catch up on. May try to listen this evening and report my findings on that thread - if it's not too dusty in there....

I'm inclined to think that the Elefant track was there to make YOU a prime suspect....

You've got a bit of a saucy theme going there, Staly. I might start to do themed CDs for this thread in future - with an underlying "indie onslaught" theme, of course.

I'll go Staly as well.
