ps. This does NOT make you any sort of young shaver, obliging or otherwise. You're still in the realm of the Werther sniffers, if not active suckers.

It was and still is a good idea. pat yourself on the potato.

This is the way I think. I like flipping the script. No one would consider making a Winter CD. Cause its leftfield and not considered special.
PS: The Stereo MCs are one of the best ever 1990s bands.
You know why the 1990s are the 1st best decade for music?
Its because all those 1990s artists had parents who grew up during the 2nd best decade for music. The 1960s.
Oasis liked The Beatles, The Who amounst others.
Blur liked The Kinks and everything essential English.

So what are your two tracks?

Haha, that's a fun theory. But the 60s artists were all influenced by the guys who were pioneering that 'stealing the black sound' in the 50s, like Little Richard and so on. How's it different!? Surely the 00s are new NEW best since they steal off the 90s AND the 60s. AND the 70s and 80s. Hooray!

I agree with the last. Who knows what the parents of all these 00s bands and artists were playing as they were growing up.
Now thats blown right out the water a million miles high into another lifetime, another galaxy, another solar system... because of the inter wibble wide narrow broadband highway digital inter-eggfaces, net.
God knows what Amy Winehouse or The Ordinary Boy were downloading.
I swear im listening to The Specials or madness when The Ordinary Boys are on, or a black 60s female singer when Amy Winehouse is on.
But your right, future and today artists or bands have access to all kinds of music noww, that infuences them.

Sorry mate. That thought process is long gone. Were well into Winter now. All my 2006 Winter memories have been created now. My mind is readying itself for Christmas now. The Christman songs are a distance away in the middle of my mind.
The momment for Winter track selection has gone dude. Its faded away. Its shadow has been cast. The fire is out.

Omg, shes a Pete Dochery waiting to happen.

Fair dinkum.

winter is after xmas down here

I thought, Winter = Nov to March/April, no?
How is my HardDrive?

nah, winter got moved
still sat waiting for me to have time to do something with it. (and it's my hard drive now)


[edit] actually, thinking about it, your winter could be that long, I forget Cornwall gets better weather than most places most of the time.

In the NE of England, Winter is usually December to February. We're still in the back end of Autumn at the moment and come March, that's when Spring tends to come along.

I'd have said end of Dec to end of Feb too, I've been out in a t-shirt today, it isn't winter yet.

Speaking from not too many miles away from Trig, it's pretty bloody wintery here, it has really taken a turn in the last few days, but I'll probaby wait for a good two sustained weeks of winter to proclaim the season in full swing.

Daz, I'm not really too busy at the moment and am reasonably experienced in putting compilations together and doing silly photshop playing about, If it's a pain in the proverbial for you then I can take on the burden,

 up to you

Well it's cold here, but we're not yet down to freezing temperatures and frost though. That generally starts around December time really.

Well, if you ain't got anything on then it's over to you :)

right,

I will be reviewing all that has gone before but not all that seriously, in general this is the beginning of submissions, things people really want on there should be re-submitted.

I will be doing the bulk of my searching on Soulseek. anything obscure should be marked as such and I would appreciate attemptes to send me copies (PM for EMail addy)

I will make the compilation a maximum of 80 mins long for recording onto a standard 700MB CD. lodge any objections here.

themes to consider are as follows

winter

xmas

cold

wind

rain 

snow

frost

chestnuts

er....

that's it. 

No SimonSanta then?
