Maximo Park – Our Velocity (Live, Acoustic)
I do like Maximo Park – they’re hardly the second coming or anything, but they write sharp, eminently catchy indie pop songs with plenty of guitar-bashing. Our Earthly Pleasures, their latest, isn’t as consistent as A Certain Trigger but there are some great tracks on it, of which Our Velocity is one of my favourites.
They’re pretty superb live as well, although I have heard reports that Paul Smith can go from deranged looney to egotistical tosser on occasion. I loved them though, and this is an acoustic version of Our Velocity recorded, I think, for an XFM session a little while back.

[Disclaimer: I am actually on holiday at the moment, probably fucking up my brother's wedding by swearing too much in the best man's speech, so it's all a bit minimal at the moment. Normal service will be resumed after we return on about the 25th July]
