Back once again it’s the incredible, Rathole. This time we have guests too as I interviewed Sonny & Colin from The Corinthians in a local pub. It was chaotic but amazing. I hope you enjoy it. There’s also a selection of eclectic tunes to keep you entertained.

00:00 - C. bass .t.n – Star Shift – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A track I heard via Jamendo dance radio and I liked the slightly industrial synth sound mixed with a more house beat. A German artist. This is taken from the 2009 album Transparent Moments.

07:22 - The Dopamines – Paid in Full - License Unknown – A nice bit of melodic punk sent in by listener Mark Horsley.

11:43 - The Corinthians – “The Quitter… in Dub” – License Unknown – A track from the Corinthians to lead into our interview.

27:58 – INTERVIEW continues…

39:25 - The Corinthians – “Don’t Worry” – License Unknown

45:30 - Thom Morecroft – “Better Than I Thought” - License Unknown – Another artist appearing at the Rathole Roadshow on Friday May 11th at LEAF, Liverpool. …

In honor of the fact that it’s 2011, I decided to turn it up to 11 for this year’s edition of my End of the Year lists that nobody reads. So instead of the usual 10 albums (and 5 EPs), you can expect to see 11 each. I can only hope that this kind of publicity stunt helps me skyrocket into internet superstardom.

Anyhow, other than that it’s the same deal as always. These albums are the ones that either left huge impressions on me or I just listened to a lot. Mostly both though.


11. Sum 41 - Screaming Bloody Murder
Yes. Sum 41 is still together. I was kind of surprised, too. The band no longer writes the same sugary hooks like they did a decade ago, but the thing that I always kind of liked about the post-All Killer, No Filler Sum 41 is that they really do write songs that they feel like writing, instead of trying to recreate their past success. The album does have some odd transitions, such as sandwiching a 12 minute, three part epic between two ballads, but overall Screaming Bloody Murder is a step forward for the band…

First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.

But there are only 9
That's how I roll

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/174s/54378857.jpg
9. The Methadones - The Methadones
Kind of cheating since there are only 5 new songs, but come on .. Methadones! And their last recording, probably ever.

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/174s/45411185.jpg
8. RVIVR - RVIVR
Rumbletowne Records are well ahead of the game on digital distro. I liked this album that I downloaded from them, for free, so much that I bought a chunk of vinyl that also contained these songs. Everybody wins!

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/174s/44494381.jpg
7. The Menzingers - Chamberlain Waits
This is a really nice album, I'd only heard Hold on Dodge before this one, so I didn't really expect to like it as much as I did. I like Hold on Dodge fine, that really didn't come out right.

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/174s/47655517.jpg
6. Riverdales - Tarantula
The second part to Invasion USA. Invasion USA was maybe a bit more consistent, but Tarantula has the standout tracks, like Diabolik.
