Hmm... well they may not be absolute classics, but I had access to them having already uploaded them at an earlier point. Plus you don't have to go to youtube every time you want to hear them which is the bonus factor.

Yeah so anyway I have 3 mp3s right here that just require one click, a little bit of download and then voila they open up in media player or winamp or whatever you use, and that is a lot less effort for all.

All youtube requires is one click, then the site comes up and the song + vid plays, hardly a lot of effort!!

OK the dice man analysis after having heard all the latest songs (didn't watch the videos though, don't think I needed to)

The 5 minute classic euro house is boring. I'm not a fan of dance music but there are some tracks where I can "track the tune" and acknowledge them from time to time, when presented with them, as half-decent tunes, just something I normally wouldnt be interested in. This one was a bit boring. What are you supposed to do with this music? Is this designed specifically for some kind of special dance? There's a flutish motif going throughout the track which really grinds after a bit, and there's no defined introduction or conclusion to the song. In the end it just went away.

Skee-lo-i-wish: I've never heard this before. I'm not sure if this was suggested as a joke as there are people around who think that this early 90s stuff is laughable, but I don't think this is that shit. The chorus is pretty good but the versy bits are a bit anonymous. That makes the chorus better though if anything. My impression to this is "I'm bored...this is mediocre...is this going anywhere...Yeah I wish I was a bit taller!...OK bored again...wheres the chorus...yawn...I wish I was a little bit taller is back!...bored...the good bit is back again!...it's played twice in a row for emphasis...fade out..."

Felix: the intro is promising...I faintly recognise this so it could be a classic...it kciks into a recognisable beat which is strong enough on its own to last a good while without getting tedious...oh man that beat kicks up a further notch just when i thought theyd move into a shitty chorus...ok the words came in again and theyre a bit weak...the beat is back...the words complement it i guess...id be annoyed if the singer stuck around for longer than they do...then it ends with a bad cut, not their fault i guess

faithless: i didnt watch this first time around becuase i suspected itd either be an obvious one i knew or some boring one i didnt, but let us proceed to listening: a slow start...some piano is being played slowly and it doesnt work at all...then the song starts proper...im a bit indifferent to the opening lines...then a long pause of nothing happening...we need his voice back...here it is and it is half-decent...not sure if this qualifies as rap or dance or something else...this would be shit live...he cant get no sleep...omfg its that beat i know...2:25 in it has kicked up to the required standard for being a classic...this tune wouldnt get tedious until about 30 minutes in...the good bit is way too short and ends just as they add another layer to it which sounded promising.

Just found out they are playing in Bristol September 19th!! I am so there!!!

They suck ass. The drummer does not make it okay to listen to them because he is mediocre. I saw this band, Priestess, supporting Megadeth this week and they play a song with a drum solo in the middle which everyone hailed as a good solo. Nobody with more than half a brain would hail that masked weirdo as a good drummer.
