Euro Beat 2008
Bonjour
Currently enjoying watching and enjoying Euro 2008 football championship(or Soccer to any Americans out there ) even though my own native teams England and The Republic of Ireland didn't even qualify still it good to cast an eye over some decent football without any jingoistic overtones ,
Which leads me to the subject of my journal , I'll be uploading obscure but cool Garage/Beat tracks from all over Europe onto my playlist everyday I've uploaded a few already from groups still in the tournament (for example today I added Polanie (a Polish Garage Band and yesterday The Matadors a group from 60's Czechoslovakia from today onwards it will all be of a continental flavour till end of tournament (except in a few cases ..Russia and Romania don't seem to have a rich Garage heritage (..those pesky Soviets) so I'll track down songs loosely connected to those nations.
Of course there's plenty of other music on my playlist too , plenty of frantic rave ups mash ups and fuck ups .. I was going to have just 66 tracks but I've exented it to a nice round number 100 Boss Tracks so feel feel to drop by and give your lugs a treat

Now theres an idea ..how about garage punk action figures , I can imagine it now Roky Erickson(with detachable beard) Or Keith Moon Figure with exploding drum kit.. ? Mark with cowboy hat and shades maybe I should pitch this idea to a toy company lol.. looks like they've already done Sex Pistol Dolls as illustrated below

Cool idea, man! Great to have The Sevens representing Switzerland!
This groovy footballer could have easily been a pop star! Just imagine, 'Georgie Best and the Uniteds'
