Greetings pop-pickers and welcome to the Friday Music Shuffle where my music device chooses ten songs from my collection and I tell you what it’s chosen. Click on the song title and you can listen and even sing along.
Hope you find something you like!
- Ecstacy by Lou Reed. Title track of Lou’s final album of new songs, released in 2000.
- Sound Check (Gravity) by Gorillaz. From their first eponymous album, this one released in 2001. Damon Albarn never stands still.
- Didn’t You Say by the Dwight Twilley Band. Bonus track from later editions of Twilley’s brilliant 1976 album, Sincerely.
- I Can Dream About You by Hall and Oates. A great cover of this Dan Hartman tune, from H&Os 2004 LP Our Kind Of Soul.
- Ladytron by Roxy Music. Simply brilliant track from the eponymous first Roxy album, released in 1972.
- Wow by Snow Patrol. Have not always been a massive fan of the band, but 2003’s Final Straw was really something.
- Barber’s Adagio For Strings by William Orbit. Not quite the version you might be expecting, but great if you like Trance, which I do, obvs.
- Dick Van Dyke Theme by Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra. Yes, really, and I absolutely love it.
- Belexes by Kansas. Some prog from the band’s eponymous long player from 1974. Gotta love some prog.
- O’Malley’s Break by Rush. Short and very sweet from 2011’s Time Machine: Live in Cleveland.
This week’s Desert Island Disc is Ladytron by Roxy Music.
Have a good week ’til next week!
