6. ARAB STRAP - Speed-Date...[Anyone who missed their last ever gig @ ABC, well, it was just awesome beyond belief...]
7. FIELD MUSIC - Give It, Lose It, Take It...[The first band to attempt to sound like {shockhorror!} YES? Indeed, but definitely more pop than prog...]
8. BEIRUT - Carousels
9. CANDI PAYNE - All I Need To Hear
10. GALAXIE 500 - Sorry...[Played 'This Is Our Music' from 1990 in the Record Room during the week, forgot what a CLASSIC band they were!]
11. THE VIEW - Wasted Little DJs...['Hat's Off' sounds like a superb lp already, but this still sticks out from ages ago...]
12. IAIN MORRISON - Away With The Faeries...[Met Ryan Novel at his stunning pre-'Celtic Connections' performance in the Greenock Boat Club on the Esplanade last Friday - me, him and Theresa all agreed that the Crash...Car mainman is a bit of a genius!]
13. MIDLAKE - Young Bride...[The Tuts night was breathtaking - how good is Oran Mor going to be?!?]
14. RACONTEURS - Broken Boy Soldier...[If we'd done a best of '06 night, this might've been at the top of my list]

17. CSS - Alala...[Candei Der Ser Sexy's lp sounds better and better with every listen...]
18. MUSE - Invincible...[I have to thank the Port Girls at the last Glenkin weekend for this - I HATED Muse, but now I must've played 'Black Holes & Revelations' about 7 times...]
19. METRIC- Patriarch On A Vespa
20. THE FOLK IMPLOSION - Free To Go...[from 'One Part Lullaby' - again, chanced upon this during the week: was torn between choosing this or 'Chained To The Moon' or 'No Need To Worry' or 'Serge' or 'Mechanical Man' or 'My Ritual' or... Lou Barlow is a GENIUS!]
21. Can only play this if my Rhythmic mate mate Ed loans me it: POPUP - Chinese Burn (promo cd)

Chris D's Picks

1. THE PARKERS - Tokyo Frosting [ 2 mins 23 secs of punky-pop-genius - and we've got 'em @ Pineapple next month! ]
2. MUMM-RA - Out Of The Question [ Why do some not like this band? - top song! ]... might also play THE MOODY BLUES classic 'Question', if I can find it this afternoon!
3. SISTER VANILLA - The Two Of Us [ How great is it to have what is virtually a new Mary Chain LP? - and also the legendary Stephen Pastel singing on this one!!! Can't wait for Connect Festival to see The Chain in action once again...... ]
4. DAVID BOWIE - Rebel Rebel [ Heard this out of the blue on the radio the other day - pure genius pop! ]
5. ODEON BEATCLUB - Trouble Ticket [ What a brilliant lp this is from, the sorta thing that NME / MOJO / UNCUT / WORD etc. should be ashamed to have missed.... Not just saying this coz I got a credit on it! ]
6. THE SHINS - Australia [ What a tune! - for Jo ]
7. KRAFTWERK - Neon Lights [ Ta Ronnie, been played a few times before @ Pineapple, but can never be played enough...for Annie, Michael and Chloe x ]
8. THE EX-MEN - The Curator [ ... Totally weird, come back from Riga and there's a cd lying behind the door of Brisbane Heights, delivered personally, not posted. Stick it on a few days later and Waaow! Two guys from Paris and Glasgow came to our house and left a CD, while we were in Latvia - pure electronic brilliance... get in touch about a gig in Greenock guys!!! ]
9. FIELDS - If You Fail, We All Fail
10. DEXTRO - Atman
11. BLACK ANGELS - The First Vietnamese War
12. LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - Get Innocuous! / All My Friends [ 'Sound Of Silver' is my LP of the year so far, totally hypnotic. Can someone (Dan?) please put me out of my loss of memory and tell me the {at least} 2 songs they have nicked from to make the genius of 'Get Innocuous' ? Get me @ chris-davidson@talk21.com }
13. ANDREW BIRD - Don't know any specific song, but, from what I've heard, this guy sounds GOOD. Got a few melodies on 'sampler' cds, so, will find something to play tonight.
14. THE KISSAWAY TRAIL - 61
15. THE CURE - Just Like Heaven
16. THE MACCABEES - Precious Time
17. KARINE POLWART - Hole In The Heart [ ...for Bob'n'Karen ]
18. THE ALIENS - Honest Again
19. KASABIAN - By My Side
20. THE BESNARD LAKES - Devastation / And You Lied To Me [ Well, where to start with this? I have been to a LOT of gigs, seen the best acts ever since Hawkwind in 1972, but - the Lakes night @ King Wah a few weeks ago was, well... just about the best ever. Maybe about 47 people there max? - even the bar upstairs was shut, first time ever I've seen that.
    
    So, on they come, 6 Montrealans, THREE guitars, drums, bass, keys. 2 girls, 4 guys - and we could've all cried at the mind-blowing majesty of 'Devastation' / 'And You Lied To Me' ]
