This New Years Eve, I’m going to build a big arse bonfire and throw the free copies of dreadful records I’ve been bunged this year in my brief flirtation with being a ‘real’ musician. Top of the fire will be anything by:

Blur
Radiohead
Verve
Oasis
Jimmy Bastard Ray
Manic Street Preachers (after meeting wotsisname, the singer)
The EMI Come Again album (which I’m on, so no favouritism there)
Three Colours Red
Mansun
Supernaturals
Stereophonics

The soundtrack to this needless destruction will be provided by:
Tha Alkaholiks
The Steinbecks
Trans Am
Tony D.
Camp Lo
Magnetic Fields
Jungle Brothers
Trembling Blue Stars
Spearmint (where’s that album?)
Ligament

I’m not posting this to engage in fisticuffs with fans of the soon-to-be-charcoal bands but just as a personal list. If you strongly disagree/agree with my choices, what would your bonfire toast?
love and kisses,
Jyoti
