what was on it? why'd you make it?

i just spent all night making one for the other members of galaxy of fire and it's a fine beast indeed, it got me thinking it might be a good thread. so cmon, let's hear about your taping skills.

All great songs, as you'd expect, no more than one song per band, because that's the rules. Each song, just, sheer, class. That's me, not my, but me story, & i'm sticking to it.

Albion - Baby shambles
In The City - Razorlight
Maybe Someday - The ordinary Boys
Charmless man - Blur
