Still celebrating? Good! Here's some Stereolab to sweeten your weekend.
Although I've posted a link to one their live shows previously, incredibly this is the first time in nearly 1,200 posts that I've featured a Dubhed selection dedicated to the band.
Better late than never hopefully, this is a dozen songs of what I'd loosely describe as the 'poppier' end of the Stereolab spectrum, including a few of their better known 'hits' as well as some more obscure items. Oh, and a couple from my favourite album of theirs, Emperor Tomato Ketchup.
Possibly needless to say, I wasn't hip enough or lucky enough to buy these rarities on vinyl or CD single at the time but swiftly moved on the many compilations that have been available over the years and all highly recommended.
In fact, if you're feeling flush, Stereolab released Switched On Volumes 1-5 via Bandcamp at the end of March. Thirty British notes will get you the digital; an extra twenty will get you the shiny disc box set. Eighty five tracks either way, you really can't go wrong, can you?
