Any suggestions?
I'm trying to make a compilation CD for a good friend of mine who lives abroad. We've been sending each other CDs back and forth with reasonable frequency for a couple of years, we have quite similar music tastes and to be honest I've only got half a CD's worth of decent tracks to put on this last one.

Tips for songs you love (any genre apart from heavy metal/dance/electronica - I like it but he don't - and R and B, obviously.)

Thank You.

I fucking love that song.
There was a video game in the early 90s that used that for it's soundtrack, the game was a bit like 11th Hour, where they had videos of people walking around CGI scenes with point'n'click, if I remember correctly it was based in the near future where jack the ripper is alive again.... that game was way ahead of it's time. It was also one of the first games I had where it had a proper (non-midi) song as it's sound track.

All I knwo about All Tomorrow's Parties is that AFP makes reference to it in one of my favourite songs by her

As for music, a lot of my favourite music falls under electro. Anything from Satanic Panic in the Attic or Sunlandic Twins by of Montreal should be good (Forecast Fascist Future is especially good)

I was going to recommend Caravan Palace
but the "no electro" prevented that. If you like them, they're "electro swing". If you don't, as my friend didn't, they're "gypsy dubstep".

I see nothing wrong with gypsy dubstep.

I reckon if _you_ bring something up on here, then it's kindda fair game (very-big-ish).
But if _someone else_ brings up something up on here about you, then that's out of order. Esspesh if you've learnt that information through something private, like a relationship or even just msn chat.

I've always called people up on that, I do that to Baldmonkey all the time.

Like, for example, I'd never tell anyone on here about that time you told me you've got a thing for guys who resemble a young jewish Ron Jermmy (in every department, except _that_ department) who come from the north of london, preffably born in the month of october, any year between (but not including) '82 and '84 and have [well, you get the idea].

And like wise, I would be horrifide if you told everyone I was the greatest lathario that ever graced this world with his presance.

In the long run, I think it was for the best, it cleared the air.
I got Sexface to take a photo of me in my hot-pants and a cheeky smile (complete with my index finger in the side of my mouth). Naturally, you can see my full on three incher bulging through the hotpants, with a very suggestive vanilla innocent yoghurt smoothy running down my breasts (and yes, it is in shot, suggesting that I am indeed the 'innocent' one, I learnt that at Photography night classes, to put things in the background to give subtal messages). I then got it developed in an 8x10 and signed my name using a sharpie pen, simply saying "The Gonz", scanned it in and emailed it to her.

I expect bumhole shots, or a month's mortgage paid, in return... I'm not really bothered eaither way.
