For those Twitter users here, my better half and I are taking over Neglected Nuggets tonight to do an FSOL hour. Neglected Nuggets is a Twitter account which lets users 'take over' to do top 10 tracks/obscure tracks by artists who maybe deserve more recognition - posting YouTube links. So we're going to be playing 10 of our favourite FSOL pieces, largely focusing on less well known pieces (i.e. PNG is not going to be in there), plus a couple of singles to show off their videos. You can follow the Neglected Nuggets account
@thelostrecord or just do a search for our hashtag #FSOLtop10
We should be on from about 8:30 this evening, and as it's summer we're on GMT+1 at the minute. If you're on Twitter, feel free to share your comments and thoughts as the tracks go up, or you can of course post thoughts on here.

So is this just going to be 10 tweets of Youtube URLs - Not quite sure what this is ?!

Kind of - it's basically there to introduce people to FSOL/FSOL stuff they haven't heard, and hopefully open up a bit of discussion about the band and the tracks. Been chatting to a guy who used to play Calcium when he was DJing 20 years ago.

is this where we get to list all our top10 FSOL tracks? Oh Joy!
1) Her Face...
2) My Kingdom
3) Long Shadows (especially with the track 8 intro)
4) Lifeforms
5) Cascade
6) Everyone In The World...
7) Insides (surprising eh? some of their best works IMO)
8) Mango Tree
9) Distant Memories
10) 5 Months 5 Acres
I have to admit that the first pieces have so much emotional attachment that they win.

Our career-spanning highlights list went:
10. Zeebox - Traction
09. Mental Cube - Q
08. Cascade
07. Slider
06. Eyes Pop - Skin Explodes - Everybody Dead
05. My Kingdom (Part 5)
04. The Amorphous Androgynous - The Mello Hippo Disco Show (Abbey Road Version)
03. Turn Around
02. End of the World
01. The Wheel of Life
Seemed quite popular.
I couldn't do a top 10 absolute favourites - just on 'FSOL' alone I immediately came up with a list of 30.
