Good day to my loyal reader and welcome to this week’s non-awaited music shuffle.
Here, my music device chooses ten random songs from my collection and I tell you what it’s chosen. Why not click on the titles and see if there is anything old, new, borrowed or blue you might want to listen to?
Hopefully, you will find something you like.
- All The Seats Were Occupied by Aphrodite’s Child. Magnificent prog rock from the legendary Greek band’s epic double album 666, first released in 1972, all 19 minutes, 21 seconds of it. Starring Vangelis Papathanassiou and Demis Roussos.
- Please Help Me, I’m Falling by The Blue Ridge Rangers. From the 1973 album Blue Ridge Rangers, which is John Fogerty singing and playing everything. Gorgeous.
- Hey Now by London Grammar. This is so lovely, from the 2021 LP Californian Soil.
- Monsoons by Public Service Broadcasting. Incredible band with a banger from their 2024 album The Last Flight.
- Sometimes I Don’t Know What To Feel by Todd Rundgren. I’m seeing Todd, who is God, in Stroud of all places in October. Meanwhile, here is a beauty from 1973’s A Wizard, A True Star.
- My Buick by Louis Cole. Proper banger from 2019’s abysmally named Live Sesh and Xtra Songs.
- Bilemedim Ki by Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek. Simply gorgeous Turkish music from this year’s albumYarın Yoksa. Buy this record.
- Cielo Grande by Hermanos Gutiérrez. Beautiful, from the Ecuadorian-Swiss brothers Alejandro Gutiérrez and Estevan Gutiérrez’s 2022 long player El Bueno Y El Malo.
- Protection by Sammy Hagar. A thumping rocker from the former Montrose and Van Halen man, with a joint from his 2020 LP Ten 13.
- Be With Me by The Beach Boys. Written and sung by Dennis Wilson, who was emerging by now as a real talent in the band. From 1969’s fantastic, though underrated, 20/20 album.
A very tough call for this week’s Desert Island Disc but as I can’t stop listening to their album, I’ll go for Bilemedim Ki by Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek.
Now that was an eclectic mix!
Bye for now. Have a good week till next week.
