Shankly's 2008 Mixtapes - May

A bumper 5 CD edition this month ? for no other reason than Shankly found so much good music in May. All the best new releases from old favourites such as Sigur Ros, The Cure, The Music and Beck (and that?s just the first four tracks). Check out the live tracks by Tricky and Portishead; the covers by The Dresden Dolls, The National and The Black Keys; new bands Flowers Forever, Zoey Van Goey and Dead Souls; old Peel favourites, the Wedding Present, Half Man Half Biscuit and Stereolab; and the last CD comprises of long songs that are so long they deserve a CD all of their own.

If you're running linux you can set the ID3 tags using the following bash line:
for R in *; do export ARTIST="`echo $R | sed s/\ -\ .*// | sed s/^[0-9]*\ //`" ; export SONG="`echo $R | sed s/.*\ -\ // | sed s/\.mp3//`" ; export NUMBER="`echo $R | sed s/\ .*//`" ; id3v2 --delete-all --artist "$ARTIST" --song "$SONG" --track "$NUMBER" --album "Shankly 08/05" "$R" ; done;
You may need to install id3v2 (yum/apt-get... install id3v2)
I also run the following to clean up the filenames
for R in *; do mv "$R" "`echo $R | sed s/\ *-\ */\ -\ /g`" ; done

i enjoy the diversity in your mixtapes, they're not categorized into just two or three genres, you manage to get it all in there while keeping a flow of quality music.
