What does MTQ mean?
Here's the deal: every record is rated on its Mix Tape Quotient, or MTQ. This is the number of songs on that album that merit repeat listening (and hence, being mix tape-worthy). For example, a great 3-song 7" would get 3/3 or a hit-and-miss 12-song cd would get 7/12. Sure, it can sometimes be a little more challenging for me to rate a record this way, but I still find it more useful than a simple 1-5 star rating system!
Results for "the tartans" (showing 1-1 of 1)
The Tartans - "Cats Of Camerford" 7" (Yay!)I featured a few Tartans songs a couple years back as a Demo of the Week, but they've gotten so much better since then! The A-side is a trumpet-led track that reminds me of early Belle & Sebastian or Aislers Set, while on the flip, we've got "1939" which sounds like a cross between the Autocollants and the Pastels, and "Your Favorite Song", which is quite Orange Juice-ish. All three songs are delightful, and I shouldn't need to commend Yay!'s traditionally excellent packaging, but I will anyways - hey, I got a postcard of a duck! Oh, and be sure to also check out the band's 7" on Cloudberry, which was released at pretty much the same time... MTQ=3/3
