Comment:

For Matt, made before a trip north o't' border last week. The title comes from the Man Man track, and was far too good a line to resist - and somehow put me in mind of Noises Off, hence the picture (apologies for the rather paltry Paint job, though!) Big thanks to Moe too for the lovely Bank Holidays track.

This looks simply wonderful. Nice to see Benson garner so much attention (well, here at least.)

Excellent picks from what I can tell. What was that scenery up to anyway?

Looks splendid, Siobhan. Yes, that Bank Holidays track is lovely (though the pairing with the Dead Kennedys must make for a jarring transition!). Saaf, who commented belowed, designed the artwork for their EP.

Van Helsing Boombox is one of the only tracks on the new Man Man album that I like. None of it compares to Blue Turban, which was so raw and awesome! . just had to get that off my chest. This is a great mix. "Sinner" is one of Finn's best songs, I reckon.

Really nice mix. Never thought I'd see the Beatles into DK, but it sounds cool in my head.

This looks truly fantastic, Ms. Siobhan. Always nice to see my favorite song of all-time, "Paperback Writer," included on a mix. :-)
