Re: Gerard on 6music next week - competition

[Phill Merchant <phillmerchant@ho...com>]

Started to think too much about this (especially after the hints) so here 
are 6 straight off the top of my head:
 
China Brilliance Automotive
25 Kinds of Love
Jacket Hangs
Spitting Out Miracles
30 Love
A Map Below

However, what I really wanted to tell you all about was.... Well, a funny 
thing happened on the way to work....
I drive to work amongst mountains, and for part of my trip my radio 
reception goes all intermittent and I usually put on a CD or something.... 
however, today at this time a song started up with a great riff and I 
thought I would bear with it through the crackles. The poor reception 
meant that I could only make out the guitar line for much of the song, but 
slowly it became clearer, and I began to get the feeling that someone was 
ripping off the Aeroplanes - but doing it well enough for me to come on 
here to recommend this band to everyone, once I had found out who they 
were.... Well, once I could hear the song properly I realised my mistake. 
This was my first listen to China Brilliance Automotive. All the more 
special for me loving the track before I knew who it was. All the more 
special for the unbelievably unexpected nature of its appearance - Did I 
happen to mention that I live in SLOVAKIA????!!!!


(alright, so it was radio fm, whose other bands played this morning 
included the Dandy Warhols, Mystery Jets and MIA, but still......!!!!!!!!)
 
 
Incidentally, the DJ then stated that we should expect a new album in 2011 
- was my Slovak letting me down, or does this imply something more 
definite in terms of a release date...? Or should we just expect it in the 
same way that we have been expecting it in 2010?
 
Phill (still buzzing)
