Adam + The Ants : Peel Sessions


Mention Adam + The Ants to most people and they will mention Prince Charming, Stand and Deliver and THAT white stripe painted across Adam's nose. However, delve a bit deeper and the pre make-up/pirate uniform Ants were a different proposition. I recently bought the re-mastered edition of 'Dirk Wears White Sox' and surprisingly it holds up well alongside some of the so called indie/alternative/punk bands of today. Have a listen to these tracks recorded for the John Peel show on Radio 1 and decide for yourself.
  1. Lou
  2. It Doesn't Matter
  3. Zerox
  4. Friends
  5. You're So physical
  6. Cleopatra
  7. Ligotage
  8. Tabletalk
  9. Animals & Men
  10. Never Trust A man (With Egg On His Face)

Distortions Mix

I've been tidying my music collection in recent weeks and have come across loads of long forgotten compilation cds I have made up over the years. Usually I can look at such a compilation and know what sort of mood I was in when I compiled the music. This one from around 3 years ago offers no such insight though. I imagine I was just clearing some songs from my hard drive at the time or something along those lines. Best just to let the music do the talking then.
