Inspired by this video, that a friend of mine posted on Facebook yesterday. Yes, I watched it. And I thoroughly enjoyed it thank you very much.

It inspired me to compile a mix full of 'House Music' and this is the result. Alas, Shaky didn't make the mix. But enjoy the video..

It was never my intention to make a mix solely featuring one word band names. It wasn't until the mix was taking shape I realised the Seeland thru' Clinic run did just that. And with Tiger and Broadcast also on the shortlist for making the mix and with me listening to Momus a lot recently it just seemed a novel thing to do.

I thought about re-arranging the mix to just feature one word bands with one word song titles, but I liked my 2-6 run so much I chose "No Symmetry'

There's so much terrific music out there, even in 2010. You just have to look. Or if you haven't the inclination, then have it handed to you on a plate, just like I've done here. Two discs full of music from the last 12 months. Most from 2010, a few from last year, but I'm not compiling my year end best of's just yet, so I've afforded myself a little leeway. Disc one mainly contains indie pop stuff..
