Maximum Maxïmo

Maxïmo Park completists should keep an eye out for Missing Songs, Warp's new collection of the band's b-sides, demos, and non-LP tracks. The tunes are actually all very good by b-side standards, so even casual fans will enjoy. Naysayers are quick to point out that originality is not Maxïmo's strong suit (fair enough), so here's an MP3 that showcases the band's softer side for a change. Since we're feeling all cuddly from that Beth Orton video.

I wish that a thousand bands sounded like Maximo Park. Unfortunately, they don't, which is why A Certain Trigger was my pick for Album of the Year for 2004.

"A Certain Trigger was my pick for Album of the Year for 2004."

Obviously, I had an advance copy. D'oh. 2005.
