and my fave sun god is.... UTU

Utu is the god of the sun and of justice, and the implementation of law. He is usually depicted as wearing a horned helmet and carrying a saw-edged weapon not unlike a pruning saw, which it is thought he used to cut through the side of a mountain from which he emerges, symbolising the dawn. He may also carry a mace and stand with one foot on the mountain.

2 - NOT 'United States of Whatever' played 24 times.
4 - Yet another great Speedo project.
7 - 3 Inches of Blood have got to be one of the most hilarious bands ever. 'The Phantom of the Crimson CLOLak.'
9 - THE WHOLE TOOTH.

Iron Maiden should be in this, but are 'unscrobbled' as I played them on my CD player on Friday night whilst playing Carmageddon 2 for several hours.

1 i said i was obsessed.
2 i got the 2CD reissue of 'brewing up with billy bragg' in that play sale a few weeks ago and it's fucking brilliant. why have i never listened to his solo records before? silly me. i nearly bought like three more of the pretty reissues today because they were £6.99 each but then i remembered that i'm £400 overdrawn.
3 he plays the ukelele and both of his albums are available for free download on his website. they're lovely. i'm actually going to pay for them at some point SOON.
4 oh god he's back.
5 finally got the finished version of the new album and it SLAYS. it's also SLAYING my poor CD burner at the moment, i've run off about seventy copies of it over the last few days. we're so DIY! by which i mean "poor".
7 why had i never heard them before last weekend? brilliant stuff.

1 I followed someone from here's recommendation regarding Madness for Sadness blowing Philophobia and others out the water. I really enjoyed it, it seems to have more depth, of music and emotion, but it's not but me off their studio stuff.

2. Microcastles. It's immediate but not immediately moving. I probably just have to listen to it more, it takes a long time for things to grab me. And by then I've missed the boat. more RE Arab Strap than anything else. :@

4. I quite like bits of Aquemini and Stankonia

5. Dirty. Remembered they existed, was good.

7. In Rainbows. Remembered they existed, was good.

8. still not sold. should probably have listened to more than five tracks though.

9. surprised I managed that many tracks, as much as I love him.

10. Young Liars. Remembered they existed, was good.

1. Took advantage of the Warp promotion and picked this up for 6 quid. Really, really impressed; it's sprawling and hard to take in but I feel like I'll be coming back to it for ages.
3. New album is lovely. The production is really beautiful and while the songs aren't especially immediate, I haven't stopped listening since I picked it up on thursday.
6. All from the Ringer EP. It's amazing, especially the third track. I hope he pursues this on his new record; it's very much of the time, but he has the talent to do pretty much whatever he wants.

I'm sad to say this could be my last meaningful chart for a while, as my laptop with all my music on doesn't work on my broadband at home due to Vista being a silly bitch with Orange Broadband.

1) Superfuzz Bigmuff re-issue. Excellent re-issue, loads of extra stuff and it absolutely rocks. Very excited for the 31st July.

2) Not usually my cup of tea at all, but picked up a copy of The Lost Riots for 40p off Amazon. Very impressive, I like the post rocky touches a lot. And the emotional vocals, cause I'm a massive emo.

3) I really need to get something else by them apart from Double Nickels.

5) If someone ever asked me who my favourite 'pop' band were, I'd say Q And Not U.

7) I am actually feeling mega pissed they split up now. Excellent debut. Eins Zwei Drei Hasselhoff is becoming a mixtape staple.

9) How can anyone not like this band? HEY?

1 (a) I've been listening to alot of MxBx lately, what with me going to see them in Leeds soon. I can't wait, as from what I remember they are a fantastic live band.

5 & 10 In anticipation of supersonic

7 (a) After hearing Fantomas will be playing the directors cut in its entirety at the nightmare before christmas I thought I'd give it a listen for the first time in about two years.

7 (b) Seen them live at Middlesbrough music live, although not the best performance ever it got me in the mood for a Rolo Tomassi session. I'll be having a lot of these, I will be seeing them 4 times in about a month - MML, supporting MxBx, crappy little gig in Middlesbrough, and at supersonic
