I am off to rural Wales for the Easter break so this will be my last post until Wednesday 19th April 2006 - I must get a mobile data card for my laptop! Anyway until then here is the latest mp3 digest.
Lost Music Recordings are back online. I know their bandwidth was getting hammered so it seems they have got a new deal. Which is lucky for you as you can the excellent EP's by Celestial, Trip and The Crack Babies. Head here to download these musical treats which I have covered previously.
Angular Records have posted two new remixes via their download blog. These are the Sexamatronic" remix of The Long Blondes track 'Seperated By Motorways' by Sheffield electro-wizards the International House Of Pancakes and the To My Boy's exclusive "Marintetti's Nightmare" mix of 'Gravity's Rainbow' by Klaxons. Download from here.
Television Personalities have released their first album for 11 years titled My Dark Places. And to celebrate this fact their label has made available four tracks from the album and suffice to say they are pretty good.
Television Personalities - All The Young Children On Smack, All The Young Children On Crack
Television Personalities - She Can Stop Traffic
Television Personalities - Ex-Girlfriends Club
Television Personalities - I Hope You're Happy Now
Butterfly Explosion are an indie rock band from Dublin and they have made available for downloading last years Vision EP on their website. Stream tracks, including non EP ones, via My Space. The songs are fine with Sophia (not on the EP) being the best track I listened too. It's mellow and very 4AD like.
Butterfly Explosion - Sophia
Existensminium, who are Swedish, have a free mp3 download single available at present. It's called Changing Lines. It's a fine slab of indie electro pop and it's different to the indie-pop I generally write about. A grower!
Existensminium - Changing Lines
You can buy high quality mp3's of the Running Down Everyone EP here.
More from Sweden in the shape of Black Belt and there is still no sign of any indie-pop with the new single Hold On. This is a slab of blues tinged rock although I did have flashes of Roses Of Avalanche at some stages which surprised me (and no doubt anyone reading this!).
Black Belt - Hold On
Buy it in high quality mp3 from here.
Cobson, who I have covered previously, have a My Space page with some new songs for streaming and downloading. They claim influences from The Pixes, Teenage Fan Club, Blonde Redhead and many others yet still somehow manage to sound unique which is partly down to vocalist Anna's voice. Again different from the c86 jangle pop scene but it's best not to get pigeonholed!
Cobson - Tears & TV
The Left Outsides, who I reviewed here, have two new songs on their site to run alongside the three that are available from their debut EP. The band play London's Filthy McNasty's tonight and I would get there for about 9pm as we went later than this (10pm) for their last appearance there and walked in just as the band were finishing!
The Left Outsides - Neon Rainbow
The Left Outsides - Dog Leap Stairs
Hopefully that is enough for you and I will get back to posting some classic C86 tracks next week as I notice I have somewhat dilvulged from that path in recent weeks.

Lost Highway Records. I will never buy, post, or otherwise promote their material until they publicly denounce the criminal prosecution in Florida. I’ve said it before: Those bloggers should be punished for leaking prereleased tracks. That’s just uncool. But jail? C’mon. Bush’s people leaked the name of a CIA agent and they aren’t going to jail, but these leaked four songs off Ryan Adams’ worst album ever and they face a decade in prison? Let the punishment fit the crime.
The TVP links all give a 403
Bah.
