It has me in it, a little bit, and some other poptimists too. Some poor records get props this week. I like the diversity of the new format but I also miss its parochialism, actually seeing where in the charts all these tunes got to, and the gritted teeth as we had to 'tackle' hopeless post-Libertines wannabes yet again.

apropos has anyone seen or got Snow Patrol's 'The Trip' compilation? The tracklisting is actually, genuinely fantastic.

I saw it in t'shops when it first came out. I didn't inspect it closely at the time but yes, the track list for the first disc looks alright (despite the presence of Four Tet in the middle).

Don't fancy the look of CD2 at all, although I am keen to hear some Hot Chip (I haven't checked out that mp3 you offered on yr LJ yet).

yes! i got it off the styowdent paper last year, it looked v good as I recall but I don't think I listened to it above once.

Ouch, was that so obvious? I toyed with a reference to that "Everything sounds like Coldplay now" song, and then saying "Even Japanese people!", but Snow Patrol.. well, it just SOUNDS like it, doesn't it?

Also: should I keep you up to date on the Partysquad's chart placing in the NL, Tom? ;-)

(Also: yes, Morningwood is aces. And so is Miranda. Have given up on trying to understand Hawley love)

no diss intended, dude, it really does! I love it tho because, er, Patrick McNally's blurb == about me. (it's the current no.3 in japan off the back of use in a very very sad drama.)

The Hawley thing is completely incomprehensible, innit?

that would be Mitch Benn's "Everything Sounds Like Coldplay"
