Pump Up The Volume

Today is my 1000th hit party. Hooray! Somebody from Leandro, California was the lucky boy/girl, and will receive the prize of my eternal gratitude. Well done.

Today a few more little slices of musical heaven from the halls of 'Volume' magazine. I think that issue 1 was rather like a promo copy and issue 2 was more like they had envisaged the product when writing their proposals/ treatments. First up today is:

1. The Blue Aeroplanes - Aeroplane Blues (mp3)

This is an alternative mix from the 'Beatsongs' album of 1991. I'll have more about The Blue Aeroplanes in a future post, but they have got to be one of the most underrated bands ever. Live they were just awesome.

2. Blur - Oily Water (mp3)

Taken from 'Modern Life is Rubbish' which has to be my favourite Blur album. Just shows you how different they were from the 'baggy brigade' brush with which they were generously tarred.

3. The Sugarcubes - Hetero Scum (mp3)

I havn't got enough Sugarcubes. Mental note - must get some more.

4. Pulp - She's Dead (mp3)

Released on Fire records just before they hit paydirt this was from the 'Separations' album which was a commercial failure. Little did they know what was just around the corner.

Buy The Blue Aeroplanes 'Swagger' or 'Beatsongs' here and/or Blur with 'Modern Life is Rubbish' at only £5.97 here. You wont regret these purchases.

Buy The Sugarcubes here

Buy Pulp or Jarvis Cocker here - £7.49 for 'Different Class' is a bargain

I will kiss you full on the lips if you could upload a copy of the Basement Mix of Curve's "Already Yours", that was on Volume Two.
