Hopefully I can add more choices if they emerge. I haven't listened to (almost) any of these, so I am not voting yet. I may never vote. It is more about making a list of these bands than about voting anyway. That said, feel free to vote.

Please ignore the Wilkes Land clips. That was just a trial thingie. Thanks!

PS-- C.T.: where's FarcesWannaMo?

They get enough plugs from my sig line. Finally getting a chance to do some downloading tonight. Was hoping to have some kind buds, but looks I'll be sober after all.

Why not hyperlink your sig for even easier access? I'm sure no-one here would mind... (says the man with the hyperlink in his signature :P )

:cry:

I hate this situation. Which is why I take measures to ensure it rarely happens to me. You mean you can't even find any Cross Canadian Ragweed?

We are almost never able to get any. Most months nothing at all. O well. We ended up watching the Wizard of Oz synced to Darkside of the Moon. Its cool for about 20 minutes. Time for our walk.

Yeah sorry about that- a bit of confusion thrown in by myself. The title is "How Many Years?".
- I tried to upload "My Swelling Heart" on my dial-up when my mother-in-law rang halfway through and now it seems to be in Soundclick limbo. I'll have another go tonight...

Some of you songwriters may want to check out last.fm. This is a site that you can upload your music for streaming access. I don't like streaming (somehow in my mind I am still on dial-up), but apparently some ppl do). The lastfm site is a bit unprofessional/glitchy, but it kind of makes it more charming.

Anyway, I put a Farces Wanna Mo LP up there:

http://www.last.fm/music/Farces%20Wanna%20...%20Why%20Not%3F

Well, I finally got everybody's songs downloaded (even the streaming ones!). 99 in all. Will start the process of listening this week. Judgment to follow.

Mr Clean, what of my mix of the "New Years Honours Greeting", which you so kindly hosted??

Well I have heard some stuff from bands, who have members of members of the board(say that when you're pissed). Anyway like I said heard quite a bit already and not actually going to vote yet but I really do like Bezenby's stuff, like I said need to listen to the rest before I vote.

Are you sure this isn't for personal recognition Cleanville? :P

Personal recognition is probably some part, but I have been interested in home recording as both a participant and a fan for many, many years. I am genuinely interested in what the other posters are recording, part because the home recorders I correspond with are not FFs and also partly because I am curious about any home recording projects of almost anybody's.

So far, my general impression is that the FFs music original music tends to have a great sense of sonics, but not much in the way of melody* or songwriting.** It will probably take me another month or two, but I will gradually get a more refined idea and hopefully even pick out someone to vote for as the best.

FOOTNOTE:

* One exception I already know of is Dumbwaiters (Repeaters band) -- their sense of melody (and groove) is very good.

** Had to laugh at D's comment about teenagers on THC.

seems to still be up at:

Thanks to CT for putting this together however be aware that the Osstow stuff is a bit old and will be updated soonish with the new material for 2005......

Also, that ain't a link to Big Block 454.
This is:

BBC - Nebulous
No solo or band stuff available online currently, but you can hear my theme music for Nebulous; the recent Mark Gatiss R4 series here..

Will fix the links up later. Thanks. Looking forward to Anton . . . err . . .I mean RT's stuff, too.

You did that? :applaud:

Didn't really rate the show though.

Early favorites: Big Block 454.
They have one of the best song titles I've heard in a while: "John Coltrane Wouldn't Have Called It Ping Pong" (good song, too-- seems pretty typical of their ouevre)

Haven't really heard most of the bands yet, but so far it is BB454 in a walk.

I should point out that I've taken the recent Richard of Hume tracks off Soundclick because they're getting an official release soon. The stuff left on there is at least 22 years old!

Hats of to Cleanville for sorting this out though :applaud:

Thanks!

Havent got a computer at home any longer, so cant give anything a listen sadly.

But if anyone's interested, heres a tune we've got online, possibly going to be pressed, hopefully.

Melodic breakcore, noise, gabba influence rearing its head as always, repetative towards the end for live mixing purposes. Its been played out a few times in live p.a's and had a good dancefloor reaction, give it a blast. The children of death valley:

Jim

The song "Jalma's Intro" sounds like it has the music for "How I Wrote Elastic Man" buried deep within it.

Cleanville whats the best of all the other soundclick stuff you've listened to.
I don't fancy trawling through a load of shite.

My favorite bands I have found on SoundClick (or similar sites) are: Clearlight Industries and Chris Fitts. Both are good, but neither is must hear. Big Block 454 is better than either and their songs continue to impress as they come up on the old computer jukebox.

Of bands with free music at their own sites (these are slightly more famous bands), my favorites are Centromatic, Michael J. Bowman and Self.

Chokchai have been inactive for a while... I now play with a band called United Bible Studies. :)

Can't listen to the samples of other bands... work pc guy... :cry:

My friend (and sometimes bandmate) Blind Junior College used to lead a band called Vacation Bible School.

Not soundclick, but for those with broadband, the Bamboo Bar Karaoke Channel on the Winamp tv streams is soooo great.

didnt realise the sites were being rated!!!!

tracks are old

now i am going to put new ones on to get the record straight!!

but it is a good site, easy to use..problem for me is no boradband yet so it takes an eternity to put a song up

but that 0% is a good stimulus lol

anybody know if the rumours about the fall coming to ireland are true, i heard they were coming to cork in november?

Painful Defecation has a new CD out and it's full of win!

I use last FM for my stuff (See my hyperlink signature FREE MUSIC) full album for free download. Not previously mentioned in this thread :blink: :cry:

bagrec takes it in a walk!

Cheap cider: if you are still about, we need a new link
