We don't really expect anyone else is getting anything out of all these, but it keeps us happy.

Black Is The New, Erm, Yes (Themed Muxtape Collection One)

For no reason at all (other than that we haven't the time to post anything else worthwhile right now), here is the first of what may well turn out to be the first of almost several themed Muxtape collections. It revolves around the colour black, and not in a depressing My Chemical Romance-y type way.

Hopefully, if we've got the new Blogger Beta interface right (unlikely, as we can't even work out how to sodding well justify text with it), you should be able to click to embiggen that above image. Just in case we've messed up, here us the tracklist:

Black Night / Hugo Strasser
Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos (Feat. Chuck D) / Asian Dub Foundation
Black Out Fall Out / Polysics
Black Forest / Takako Minekawa
Black-Eyed Susan / Laura Veirs
Black Arabs / Sex Pistols
Black White Blue / Front 242
Black Bass / Shonen Knife
Black Tongue / Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Black hole sun / MakroSoft
Black Forest (Lorelei) / Mercury Rev
Blackpool Roll / Mr Scruff

Oh, and the place to find all these: http://blackcelebration.muxtape.com/

For the record, we haven't turned into goths or anything, this is the destination for a train of thought we clambered upon after seeing a repeat of Never Mind The Buzzcocks where Bad Manners played a version of Black Night very much like Hugo Strasser's. If anyone else can think of any similarly themed Muxtapes, we'd love to hear from you.
