I’ve got several playlists on my musical device, including one industrial-sized playlist featuring some of my favourite songs. For reasons I won’t go into, this has been a very difficult weekend and I am playing music and, because I can, I am going to share ten songs from my massive playlist.
If you want to listen and even sing along, just click on the tune!
- Go! by Common. Despite the involvement of Kanye West, this is a brilliant chunk of hip hop from 2005.
- Topknot by Cornershop ft Bubbley Kaur. Unbelievably beautiful joint from 2004.
- Charity by Courtney Barnett. God, I love Courtney Barnett. This from 2018’s Tell Me How You Really Feel.
- Heavy Seas Of Love by Damon Albarn. Back to 2014 and, well, I’m running out of superlatives. Fucking brilliant.
- Dreamtime by Daryl Hall. Even without John Oates, Daryl is still just great.
- It’s Over, If We Run Out Of Love by David Holmes ft Raven Violet. Let this bugger wash all over you.
- Long Time Coming by Delays. 2004’s Faded Seaside Glamour is one of my favourite albums ever. And this is just pure greatness.
- The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight by Dominatrix . Back a ridiculous 40 years for this absolute classic.
- The Driver by Drive-By Truckers. Bad ass southern rock from 2022’s stellar album Welcome 2 Club XIII.
- Letter Of Intent by Ducktails. A great band made even greater by the addition of Jessa Farkas singing lead. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this.
Desert Island Disc? Are you kidding? Everything on this playlist counts for this edition of the show, which will last days.
Apologies for the indulgence, but music helps.
