Afternoon! 79 playlists”¦ Crikey. Time flies, and all that. I remember getting to 5 playlists and thinking “Whoa, we”™ve managed a whole week! Badass!”.

Last night we posted our Glastonbury 2010 review, and we hope you enjoyed it. Remember, we”™d love for you to comment and are always hungry for a good ol”™ debate or just a bit of incessant banter. We”™re also looking for a few more contributors to help us generate some awesome content. If you think you could crack out the odd review or news post for us, or if you have a feature idea that you have a major passion for, please do get in touch.

Today”™s playlist is by Andy McKenzie, who first submitted a mix to us earlier this year. Thanks for this one, you balding git <3

  26. Well thought out twinkles – Silversun Pickups
  27. Y control – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  28. Seven nation army – The White Stripes
  29. Life to lifeless – Killswitch Engage
  30. A box full of sharp objects (Live) – The Used

Right so here is another mix for you all, this time it”™s guitar based and again there should be something for everyone here.

So for me some of the standout tracks are as follows:

Cannonball by The Breeders. EPIC does not describe this track well enough, this is one of those tracks that once you hear it, it gets stuck in your head for days. Also if you have not heard it before then where the hell have you been?!

Sunny Days by Fall Silent a metal cover of the Sesame Street theme tune. This one was on regular rotation when I was at Uni.

Who the Fuck? by the musical genius Graham Coxen. Taken from his first album, “The Sky Is Too High”, this is a perfect low-fi track, Coxen played all the instruments himself and I suggest you check out all his solo work.

Fallen Leaves by Billy Talent, another of those songs that gets under your skin and stuck in your head.

When I Argue I See Shapes by Idlewild. Idlewild are one of my favourite bands and unfortunately they seem to not be as well known as they deserve.

Everlong by Foo Fighters. Man to I have some history with this song”¦ Every and I mean EVERY time I hear this it has the same effect on me, one that I can only describe as your first Prozac high, the rush from the back of your brain to the front.

Well Thought Out Twinkles by Silversun Pickups. Again another band that should be bigger, this track has to be one of their best.

A Box Full Of Sharp Objects (Live) by The Used. I had to pick this live track because of Spotify”™s shitty licensing as the album this is originally from is not available (like so much, unfortunately). [Editor – Andy has since found the regular version :)]

Evening kids! You know, someone once told me that pesto was made out of stinging nettles. It was only recently I found out that they lied. It”™s a sad, demoralising world we live in when a man can innocently believe that a delicious accompaniment to pasta is something that it”™s not. To make myself feel better, I”™m OD”™ing on The Depreciation Guild. They right all wrongs, kids. Listen. Listen now.

Oh! Heard a pretty epic put-down today, and thought I”™d share:

James (posturing around like the elitist asshole he is): You”™re the punchbag, and I”™m”¦ what”™s the opposite?
Neil: The douchebag

Ouch.

Anyway, here”™s today”™s playlist courtesy of Mr. Andrew McKenzie.

Andy says:

So apparently making a playlist is not enough. Words are also required. So where to start? Whatever way you swing there should be something on here for you, Bass, beats and strings are all here.

Some standout tracks on here would have to be:

“Sweet Disposition” The Temper Trap. It”™s a great uplifting track perfect to pick you up.
“Electrolove” Minor Majority. Meloncoly at its best. If Emo kids could get over themselves they”™d get a haircut and listen to this.
“Quiet Little Voices” We Were Promised Jet Packs. Simply great, the composition on this is perfect.
“Hip Hop” Dead Prez. If you don”™t know this then you”™ve been living under a rock for the last 10 years. This still gets remixed today, Zane Lowe is a big fan.
“Pass Out” Tinie Tempah. Really into this track at the moment, bonus points for getting a mention in for Scunthorpe.
“Slow Songs” Giggs ft. Mike Skinner. Anything Mike touches turns to gold and he”™s helped produce an amazing track here with Giggs. Giggs will certainly be making a big name for himself, he”™s one to watch out for.
“Pon De Floor” Major Lazer. Just listen to it, you”™ll be hooked. Great use of effects.
