Dave managed to spill soup all over his laptop. What an idiot. Of course, this means no moreÂ Spotisfaction updates from him until his machine dries out. Let”™s all take 5 minutes out to laugh at his misfortune.

Quick straw poll – would you prefer playlist updates such as this one in the morning or afternoon? Let us know via Twitter (@spotisfaction).

Afternoon, folks! Today”™s playlist comes courtesy of Simon Mogg, whose previous playlist was one of my favourite concepts: “The Evolution of Moggy (in music)”. Fortunately, for today”™s submission he”™s guaranteed us no nu-metal or PJ & Duncan”¦

Remember that we”™re running a competition to win a ticket for Broken Social Scene”™s show in Birmingham on Sat 26th June – if you”™ve not entered yet, tweet us your favourite feel-good song with the #compisfaction hashtag. See here for full info!

Love, hugs and mealy bugs.

So this is a slightly different style of playlist than my last. This time its a selection of music that I like to listen to when I can”™t move at all. Would be nice for summer in the garden.

Here are a few stand out tracks.

Johnny Cash ”“ Hurt
This track is just plain awesome. You dont often hear tracks that are a vast improvement on their original. But this one is.

Amon Tobin ”“ Four Ton Mantis
Discovered this in a car advert. But dont hold that against it. It has a nice quality to it.

Flipron ”“ Flush It
This band are dark. When I was playing them at one point “the wife” asked me to turn it off because it was depressing her. Gotta love music that creates emotion.

Beastie Boys ”“ Shadrach
I like the Beastie Boys. Any group that goes from Punk to Hiphop in their career appeal to me. This is one of their best tracks if you ask me.

RJD2 ”“ Ghostwriter
I love this track. No other comment its just awesome.

Brigham Young University Vocal Point ”“ Super Mario
hahahahahahahahahaha. Brilliant. Goes with the trade too.

65daysofstatic ”“ Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here
Shame its the live track but i love the way this track builds. It ends in a creshendo of noise. Love it.

The Proclaimers ”“ King Of The Road
I like the Proclaimers. I”™m not ashamed.

So there it is. I love all of these tracks. I”™d of commented on all of them but that just ends up with a lot of writing.

Enjoy.

Hi, hows it goin”™? Whatever you”™re doing, wherever you are, I hope that the latest Spotisfaction playlist is filling your ears and softly soaring through your atmosphere. My name is Ben Hawling and I will be flooding the Spotisfaction pages with regular reviews and the occasional rant. These reviews will consist of both album and gig reviews, plus a few band profiles every so often in an effort to keep our collective Spotisfaction fingers on the pulse of what”™s hot, musically. I will also be conducting a weekly “BandÂ back catalogueÂ appreciation” feature (yeah, working on a better name as we speak), where I rummage through the back catalogue of a different band each week so that a whole host of new fans can be introduced to fine music. This will also allow the more loyal fans to reminisce, and their appreciation be born all over again. Based in the glorious Cheltenham town, I am a resident reviewer for the visionary Cheltenham Underground imprint, so I will be posting regular nuggets of local talent. I will also give the heads up of any mind-blowingly awesome artists that play at the Cheltenham Underground showcase nights, and where you can find them (in a non-stalker way”¦”¦.well, maybe). The reason behind my involvement with the Spotisfaction blog is purely because I long to be part of something that is groundbreaking, and that thrives on delivering music in all it”™s forms to those who may not have access to it. But on a more personal level, it is down to the enjoyment and appreciation of the mixtape itself. Spotisfaction allows the 15 year-old me, sat alone in my bedroom, to finally share all the mixtapes that I compiled from odd tapes and CDs. Just as the mixtapes got me through the drudge of school, I hope that the playlists and discussion that you will find on Spotisfaction carry you through the harshness of modern day life and on to a higher plain, wherever that may be. If there”™s any albums/gigs/bands that you want me to review or take a look at, please feel free to contact me on twitter (@benchs25) or via my email address, ben@spotisfaction.com. We are all part of something spectacular, and most importantly, real. Let”™s embrace it! Thank you, Ben Hawling
