January 2012 Playlist

It used to be a long-standing tradition for WWWTM to produce a quality end-of-month playlist of juicy mp3s that were gracing the iPod of our founding father, Lord Jal of the Shire. This short list of what's been doing the rounds on the Schönberg turntable over the last month is by no means a replacement for the classic WWWTM playlist, just wanted to log what I've been listening to. Enjoy (or otherwise)!

Field Music - A New Town


Friends - Friend Crush

Allo Darlin' - Capricornia


Standard Fare - Suitcase


Lana del Rey - Born to Die


Grouplove - Love Will Save Your Soul


Fanfarlo - Shiny Things


Concrete Knives - Brand New Start


The Chameleons - In Shreds


Bleached - Electric Chair

Bleached - Electric Chair

Urrrrgh, the first day back at work after a long Christmas holiday. I'd almost forgotten what my alarm clock was for until this morning, and as the radio clicked on at 6 am there was no way I was going to be moved from under the covers. Well, not until this track was played by Jon Hillcock on 6music, standing in for Chris Hawkins.

I've since done some investigative work and found Bleached to be a sister double act from Los Angeles. Electric Chair is the b-side to a 7" single 'Searching Through The Past' they put out in 2011, and sounds positively punky. Imagine the guitar riff from The White Stripe's 'Fell in Love With a Girl' and the vocals of Siouxsie Sioux.

The track can be downloaded courtesy of BN(mi)T here, or you can stream it below (with option to download too!)

Happy first day back!
