Who? Well, you probably know Duncan Lloyd from his day job - guitarist with North East indie types Maximo Park. He's about to unleash a solo LP (Seeing Double, out October 6 via Warp), so we thought we'd invite him to produce a mixtape for us. He complied, and even gave it a title Sounds Like: A Mixtape. Enjoy...

Pylon 'Cool'

Sounds like the start. (YouTube)

Minutemen 'History Lession Part Two'

Sounds like Sounds like Bob Dylan... to him. (YouTube)

That's actually really good

I wouldn't expect that from a guy in maximo park

Regional Label Error

Mackems? They are nowhere near Mackem. The colloquial term of Mackem depicts a Sunderland birth. For a Newcastle based band, consisting of one lad from derby, one from york, one from India, one from stockton-on-tees and one from god knows where. If your going to generalise they should be 'Geordies', because they are based in Newcastle and have been for a while. Or since Paul Smith is the forefront of the band you could call them 'Smoggies', as a Middlesborough (more or less stockton) reference.

We're passionate about that up here you know!

My bad

I was with some Geordies just the other day who claimed they were a Sunderland band rather than a Newcastle band, suggesting Mr Smith was from that neck of the woods. I shall amend forthwith.

Never trust a geordie! Haha. Sweet mixtape though. Its a good running idea as an article.

You kinda undermined your point...

by mis-spelling Middlesbrough. We're kinda passionate about that.

Tis a shame

Just a pity his own music sounds like Brian Wilson defecating pon' Elvis Costello... Im also not too keen on how he advertises himself everywhere as 'MAXIMO PARKS! duncan lloyd', even on press releases. He has basically written a soundtrack to a Maximo Park publicity campaign tour.

Im pretty sure Albert Hammond Jnr didn't write 'STROKES DUDE!' all over his work when it came through the office.

If your going to go solo, go solo!
