And that'll be that.

Okay then, scores now look more like they should, that'll teach me to pay attention to what day of the week is, won't it!

So....storming into the lead, leaving everybody else's noms in it's dust trail, with Malarone by Linea Aspera, having racked up an impressive 27 points.....which means this week's winner is Nick!

And Steve's last seconds votes, just pushed Brass Neck's I am the Cosmos by Chris Bell into 2nd place, with 16 points, which mean Val's brings up the rear with her nom She's So Hard To Shake by Kahvas Jute, scoring one point fewer.

Congrats to all the winners, especially to Nick for his sterling choice, of which I didn't give it any points! (it was on shortlist though!)

I think my comments on doing any further rounds, still stands...whilst this playlist wasn't bad...it falls short on the original playlist..which I pleased to say, is still the best one I've ever heard....& treasure my copies of Young Marble Giants, Clor & Rites Of Spring lps.

From this playlist, I'm looking to pick up a decent copy 1st press BCB lp, and looking into Jahvas Kute.

Thanks to all for participating...it's been real! Peace & love man! :-)

Doncha just hate it when the inny net goes down! How thing's have changed...we managed with life perfectly fine for millennia, but today? The internet goes down & life almost stops! :)

[TheFoe]

Thanks a lot to everyone who voted for the Linea Aspera song, really pleased it won! Credit where credit's due though, I would never have heard of this band had it not been for Helen mentioning them on the 'What Are You Hearing At The Moment' thread a while ago. :-)

[suzysunshine7]

YAYYY!!! - Congratulations Nick! ... x ;o>

And very well nominated Mr B and Val ... x x

Well, as you can probably guess, the Internet is indeed a very precious and an essential lifeline to me now - and my life would be quite empty, a massive challenge, and completely unbearable without it!

Duke, FYI, the mainstay of Kahvas Jute was Dennis D. Wilson (lead guitar, vocals) who was also eligible for this thread as he only made the one solo album, "Walking On Thin Ice":

There is a lot of info on both him and KJ at the following site:
