This looked like a fun thing to do when i saw it somehwere. So yeah, i nicked this from someone, but i can't remember who, so no credits to me for the great idea.
It's a snapshot of what i've been listening to, and i bet a year from now it'll look totally different, that's cool.
I can tell you it took way longer than i thought it would to compile, but as i said, good clean fun, why not waste a few hours on it, i challenge thee:) Might do it again next year…

Thru the fact that Johnny Marr joined the band, other than that i can't say they are too impressable.
2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Thee Headcoats
Could have been All My Feelings Denied They were of course fronted by the forever uncompromising Billy Childish

Highly subjective and again it could have been any one of 10 songs, but Vanishing Point is thee shit!!
