Dan Auerbach's latest discovery - old school soul man. Every time I lift the car bonnet it makes me want to burst into song too. Good job I don't actually get under the hood then.

How's this for wankery:

"Emerging from the shadows, Principal rides the pulse of an alternate dystopian future. They bring an invitation to a glorious and debaucherous apocalypse….one last hurrah, one final party. Be hypnotised by this trans-dimensional and unpredictable new tight-knit collective."

However, any musical project that involves Henry Wagons is okay with me.

Perhaps my wild card, no psyche this time, but a British electronica band. I recall, the last time we heard a track from this band, entitled Glower, during Co2015. I enjoyed it, and as they're back with their new album Embers....here's me favourite track from it:

Evening folks! And may I begin by wishing all of you a very merry xmas! :)

This round will finish on xmas eve, so if folks wish to take a small break over the festive period, we can do so, and resume with Round 5 on Wednesday 27th.

EDIT: Voting for round four will now end on 27th @ 10pm.

Until then, & we have a slight increase in nominations this week, 18 songs to enjoy...(or not!) and the usual 5 votes apiece.

Have a fab time folks with whomever and wherever you are spending it with!

And as ever, thanks to Spacepig for providing the playlist:

You're welcome Nick! :)
And long may this may thread continue! Have a great xmas mate! :)

Listening to track by a long established band, that I know nothing about, but the track i'm listening to has a killer evil bassline to it. Might nom it in the next round, see how you lot take to it! :)

Alas, my internet connection had been playing up these last couple of days, probably due to all the 'last minuters' clogging up the net...so haven't been able log on and listen to the playlist. But it's working again now...so I'm going to extend the deadline by an hour or so, just so that I and anybody else that wishes to, can literally get their 11th hour votes in! It is Christmas after all! :)

Have you cleaned your chimneys, ready for the generously proportioned & hirsute, rouge suited, benevolent one?! I wonder how the North Pole resident manages to deliver to modern homes without the traditional masonry built, smoke stacks? :-)

Hello! Voting is done and dusted..and so is xmas..hurrah! Hope you all enjoyed (or still are enjoying) a lovely festive break...me....the curse of an abscess has visited again, for the 2nd xmas in a roll! Ow and drat! Xmas day was okay, but the humming began on Boxing day, in the same place as last year....so I guess I'll be needing another box of antibiotics asap. Abscess really puts a damper on things.

Anyway....suitably drugged up on painkillers...time to kill this round too.

Soaring in the lead, way ahead of the competition, having scored 27 points & securing his first win, with his nom Party In The Dark by Mogwai, this week's winner is.....Nick! Well done mate! :)

A score of 18 points & 2nd place goes to Call The Police by LCD Soundsystem, nominated by Helen, and Val mops up 3rds with her nom Crime Don't Pay by Principal.

Well done you three & hard luck to Tech.....i guess it's only you that likes Steps mate! Here's a wooden spoon for ya! :)

Righthoo..round 5 up shortly.

[Val]

Sorry to hear about your abscess Duke - it sounds painful and alarming. Maybe your idea of drowning it in alcohol is not a bad one. At least it will be sterile!

Well done Nick! A worthy winner! Although it didn't feature in my votes it was only because I liked others better in a very strong field. I garnered my nom from a free sampler CD
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Love-...
which also has the Mogwai track on it. It's been rusted on to my car CD player for a few weeks now. Spunk emailed me with the free offer. Gotta love their budget approach : simple cardboard cover, bit of sticky tape to prevent the disc falling out, bung a stamp on the cover and a sticky label with name and address. Who needs fancy packaging? I may use it for some future nominations here.

[Craig White]

SHOCKEROONIE! nae votes for the mighty steps? you know what you're missing!

keep the wooden spoon and stick it up yer.........abscess!!!! :)

[TheFoe]

Yay I won!! Thanks a lot to everyone who voted for it and ha bumhug to those that didn't. ;-) Hope your abscess clears up soon Duke.

[theDuke]

Thanks guys...the painkillers are doing the trick for now so i'll manage! :)

Now then Techy boy....that's no way to address the host! And it's my best wooden spoon too! :)

[Fishy_Jim]

Commiserations about the abscess, Duke. I've been enduring a sciatica flare-up for the last week and a half, so I feel your pain, just in a different place!
