MEMORY TAPES: 27TH MAY 2011

Today's Memory Taper is: Abbie Clarke, who writes...

"My boyfriend is a bit of a mixtape geek, he has always tried to thrust his music taste on me (with varied results). This particular instalment has songs that both of us really enjoy and is generally a bit less obscure than others I have been enthusiastically burdened with.

"It has some songs that I really love, like Postal Service and The Cure and songs that he particularly adores (Dismemberment Plan, Pixies, Unwound, Sonic Youth), and others that we mess about to (like Devo and Thin Lizzy)."

The tracklisting is:

1) Devo - Whip It

2) Arcade Fire - Power Out

3) Breeders - Cannonball
