The Friday Music Shuffle (24.10.25)

by Rick Johansen

Sunshine greetings to my loyal reader as we head yet again into yet another fun-packed music shuffle.

Yes, it’s that exciting time of the week when I set my music machine free and it chooses ten random songs from my collection. Then, as per usual, I tell you what it has chosen. Just click on the title in order to listen along.

I hope you find something you like.

  1. Life’s Too Short by Lucy Rose. Lovely wee tune from the singer-songwriter’s 2024 long player ‘This Ain’t The Way You Go Out‘.
  2. Mull Of Kintyre by Paul McCartney and Wings. I can forgive Macca almost anything, even this.
  3. I Was Made To Love Her by Stevie Wonder. Classic Stevie from 1967.
  4. Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. Instrumental title track from Brian Wilson’s 1966 classic.
  5. I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier Mama by John Lennon. Another classic track, this time from Imagine. 1971 was rock’s greatest year.
  6. I’m Tight by Louis Cole. The supremely talented Mr Cole from 2022’s “Quality Over Opinion” LP. Excellent.
  7. Ur Mixtape by Metronomy. 2019’s Metronomy Forever was a lush record. Here’s why.
  8. Carry On by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Back to 1970 for this absolute classic.
  9. Say It Ain’t So by Weezer. Blimey – 1994 and it still sounds great.

This week’s Desert Island Disc is short and sweet: Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys.

Well, I enjoyed that. See you next week. TTFN.
