I guess I should give some backround on this, the reason I ended up doing this thing was I like the whole social network thing and expressing opinions. Unfortunitly, the internet is a dangerous place. Whether your being stalked on Facebook, flooded with spyware on the Myspaz or attacked by a 35 year fat man on an internet forum. your pretty screwed unless your the same as everyone else.
But anyway, I always appreciated people who used to put music on here and gave me something to read, so it's time for some payback.
I wanted to add something really good to the first post, so I guess this was best choice. Bloc Party have really been on a roll this year. They got past the difficult second album with the fantastic A Weekend in the City and have toured non stop (this year, I've seen them twice with a last date in December making it three for 2007).
One thing that did strike me was how many b-sides AWITC had, not including Flux (which isn't in this d/l, you've been warned), there was 12 songs! I remember talking to a friend saying they could have done the commercial thing and released a third album straight off the bat, but they didn't, instead, many of these songs either simply became b-sides for the singles, bonus tracks in the states or simply unreleased.
So, doing what I thought was best (along several other hundred people round the world, it's not that innovative), I decided to compile these songs into a decent order, do a quick 10sec job on Photoshop for a cover, end up adding Cavaliers and Roundheads a few months after and what do we get...
Getaway
Short, simple and in correlation with AWITC.
So, here you are, twelve tracks on one fan made album. Songs to look out for include England, Vision of Heaven, The Once and Future King and Rhododendron, there all pretty fantastic.
