Pretty much anything from Pink Flag (although why one track, Peelie played tracks from PF in chunks which certainly hooked me) or I am the fly. How about Mercy? Just too long, I'm afraid, though I have warmed to it lately. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Wasn't a very good year in that case... I like a couple of tracks but it's quite repetitous and they weren't that amazing live a couple of weeks ago in Bristol (Secret Machines were very promising though). Good, just not stunning.

And one of the best compilations of the year was undoubtedly Amateur Wankers by The Prefects. Hearing Going Through The Motions again was one of the musical hilites of 2004 for me.

Some things I'm looking forward to in 05: New albums from Kate Bush (!) and Van der Graaf Generator (!!). Surely not Scott Walker as well. The Go4 reunion. It's odd that they haven't yet sold out the Shepherds Bush Academy which isn't that big a venue - has the high price put everyone off? Forthcoming albums from Low, Mercury Rev and Arcade Fire. Booked gigs already include Low, Interpol, Herman Dune, VdGG and Rammstein (! - not so sure about the last one, but I'm going anyway - anyone have any experience?). Watching my DVDs of the first season of The Wire (so far never shown on UK TV, although it's now about to appear on some satellite-only channel which, as a cable guy, I can't get), the extended Return of the King and Heimat. Although whether I'll ever find the time. Films: A Scanner Darkly; Sideways; 2046; the new Bergman. And something - anything - from Wire and hopefully some more gigs.
