You've mentioned that before and I'd again like to register my interest.

It will happen one day, along with my record label...i'm just far too laid back to make the big jump though.

In other news, im really loving the 90's midwest emo stylings of Soria right now, with added help of Dan Lucas (of Jairus and Unwed Sailor fame). Kicking things back to the old school.

I shall now plug my favourite local band, The Minions. Their single, Six Chords/Have You Got A Knife? is on itunes.

They're a bit like Lightyear.

Incredibly fun to watch.

Have You Got A Knife?

Also I've been meaning to listen to The Casualties for a while now, thought they were awesome at Reading Festival despite them playing without their singer.

I saw them at Rebellion in Blackpool the other month, again minus the singer but didn't think they were up to much so toddled off to watch Subhumans instead \o/

Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly. Which band is the better and what album should I be listening to?

Expect answers by the time I wake up tomorrow.

DKM are punker, FM more trad irish/ska. Always been more of a DKM fan myself. </BLOCKQUOTE>

nicely summed up (apart from the suggestion that FM play ska ). Both are good but the Dropkicks have a far more interesting range in my opinion. If you want something in between the two bands try the mighty Blood or Whiskey.

I was actually thinking about that earlier today. Wasn't thinking obviously. I probably meant...folk? We'll go with that for now.

Change of topic, but I picked up Japanese import of 'Best of Punk O Rama' the other day off ebay, pretty good!

The Punk-o-rama cd's were great, used to buy it every year, always seemed a bargain at £4/5.
Glad the changed the name in the end, there were some horrific songs on volumes 9 and 10...which seemed to have found themselves onto the best of cd.

For example; The Latest Plague by From First To Last. Terrible song by a joke of a band.

Yeah Punkorama was awesome back in the day, helped me get into so many bands. The newer ones were very poor though, ever song from that newest FFTL album was dire

I wonder how well the new compilation cd, Unsound, has done considering they've only released one and that was last year.
