Fischerspooner - Have fun tonight :: Submitted by

Irish Aris

Okay, this is really quite dark but I enjoyed this. I kinda reminded me of the trentemoller song that was sent in, in the last walrus. A bit kind like a nine inch nails kinda vibe to it with a bit of a dark depeche mode 80's vibe thrown in there(but of course!) yeah, this is when I started to enjoy the songs

Lemon Jelly - Space Walk :: Submitted by

Electric Nitwit

Ah this was just lovely. Kinda happy chilled. Not as good as Nice weather for ducks but a lovely chilled vibe to it that'd just make you smile. There was something about that I'm not sure that just didnt push it up. I think it was the repetitive voice sample. I think if the voice sample had only been at the very start, I might have liked it more but some of it was just a little too repetitive which is probably very strange coming from someone who loves Trance but there you have it

Irish Aris

Mid table, I'll take it, was kind of a risky choice I think.

SineadSpears

Thanks guys.
Big fan of Fischerspooner, Casey Spooner is a very good live performer. They had a cult following in Greece and they visited a few times for live and dj sets.

Versatile ft Offica - Babyproof :: submitted by

Sineadspears

This is just straight up ****ing I dont know what. First listen, I was like, that's so funny and then second listen, I was like, are these even real people. And then third listen, I was like.... okay, its starting to get a little annoying, but its still okay. Like, still laughing a bit and then with more listens I was like. I dont know if I'm laughing with them or at them but I am laughing, so that's why its in 7th place. And the video is comical. Are these a real act ?

Aris, have you heard of Puressence?
I used to love them but they never made it here really, but I remember hearing they were oddly big in Greece

I kinda love these lads, a bit, sometimes... I was told the went to private school but are from Ringsend (the Compton of Europe )
Checkout 'Prefontaine' and 'Escape Wagon' ft. Coolio to continue the laughter

Versatile was the first act that made me realise that I was truly beginning to get old. I couldn't figure out the deal with them, is this for real etc, etc? Then I found out that they were absolutely massively popular with everyone under about the age of 23. Sheeeet... I'm past it now, I thought.

Kyary Kyary Pamyu - Gum Gum Girl :: Submitted by

ShaneU

As the person who sent this in said :: " You'll either love or hate this. I hate that I love it so much. " And thats kinda how it is for me. When I listened to it first I was like :: " this is annoying, bottom 4ish maybe..." and then I woke up the next morning and while making breakfast I found myself humming the melody to the song and then it just kept going up the list and I've since listened to more songs from the artist and shes quite good. I quite enjoy this and i quite enjoy her. And I hated the video at the start but even the video is starting to grow on me. You'll either hate this or you'll love it or you'll hate that you love it and I dont know if I love it or hate that I love it yet, but I definitely dont hate it lol

You are right EN.
Their first album had a lot of radio airplay and they became very popular.
I was never into them but they were in Greece for concerts very frequently - at one time they did a kind of mini tour with 4-5 concerts in various cities - and they were generally a safe bet for summer festivals, when available.

Nice, always seemed funny to hear that while I was watching them with a crowd of a couple of hundred, max!

This was the first song I listened to and I said **** you

That song brings me so much joy as it reminds me of my college years, one of my mates even did a mock up where he spliced loads of photos from the years together to go with the song

Jess Glynn - All I am :: Submitted by

I just really loved this song from the very first listen. Very happy, feel go lucky tune that I just really enjoyed! A real head bopper. I bopped all the way through and it really brought the joy for me, something I could definitely bop along to if I heard it come on the radio in the car.

osh

I thought versatile made radiators for bathrooms and stuff

Oh of course Jess Glynn, she's one of my go to feel good peeps, glad you enjoyed! There is a music video, but it includes chat clip, not just HD music, so I don't prefer it

Rory Gallagher - The Loop :: Submitted by

The Purple Tin

Ah this was great! Lovely and short. I think the perfect length because if it was any longer, the loop would become a little too much. It ends at just the right time. A brilliant little instrumental that i was so happy to hear everytime it came on. I wouldnt be hugely familiar with Rory Gallagher but I'm gonna try and find more stuff like this. Just class
