Gig review: Dananananaykroyd, Calories @ Engine Room, March ’09
Last night I fought back against the lethargic temptations of being lame and boring and staying in and got myself down to Brighton’s Engine Rooms (key characteristics: underground, smells, broken toilets, sweatbox, flooded this one time, cute barstaff) to see Dananananaykroyd and Calories. Pope Joan and Me My Head also played but I got there too late for them, which was kind of a bummer as I’ve been wanting to see Pope Joan for a while now, and given the rest of the line-up it seemed probable that Me My Head would be decent as well.

Quit yawning at the back: turns out this serious racing simulator is actually fairly good fun. Go read my review if you’re inclined to find out why.

Today I’m rad stoked to bring you a delicious musicey treat: a download compilation featuring 21 tracks from 2008 and 2009 that I think are rad awesome. You can download it here (100mb), in a ZIP archive that also contains liner notes; a list of the tracks, artists and the album each song is taken from.
I sincerely hope you check out more by the bands you like, because I’ve not got permission to use any of these tracks. I’m operating on the “free publicity is good” basis and hoping no one gets too pissed. Pretty much everything on there is from a punk, DIY or independent label anyway, so I’m sure it’s all cool. More importantly, I hope you enjoy some of these songs as much as I have.
The full track listing is below the cut.

I’ve tweaked a few bits around the blog. The top nav links are better now: I got rid of the dross and broke down the bulky reviews page into three separate pages.
The Twitter round-up autopost is gone and won’t be coming back, and the del.icio.us linkfest posts will be coming once or twice a week. At least, that’s the plan: postalicious seems to be behaving so far.
Thanks for bearing with me folks.

…I’ve disabled them until I find the time to stop the fucking things posting as soon as 5 links have been saved. Why it won’t follow its own settings and post once a day, after 8pm, and at that time only when 5 or more links have been collected, I don’t know.
It would be nice to also get it to interpret punctuation sensibly, saving me the effort of correcting it manually (which wouldn’t even be that big a deal if it published posts at regular, sensible intervals).
On a tangential note: I personally find these sort of link salads interesting and usually (most of the time) look over them on blogs I follow. What do readers of NFI think on the subject?
