Hi pop-pickers and welcome to the Friday Music Shuffle. For me, every day is a music day but on Friday it’s time for the shuffle. Here, my music device chooses ten random tracks from my collection and I tell you what it’s chosen. I’m listening to all the tracks as they appear, so why don’t you? I hope you find something you like.
- What’s Happened Along In My Life by Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Lively little joint from 1974’s It’ll Shine When It Shines album, which also features Radio 2 favourite Jackie Blue.
- Appetizer by DJ Format Feat. Abdominal. Brilliant from 2017’s Still Hungry.
- Get It Up by Chickenfoot. Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith – what could possibly go wrong? Nothing. Great rock and roll.
- Call It A Loan by Jackson Browne. Simply gorgeous from one of the best singer/songwriters in rock history. From 1980’s Hold Out LP.
- Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down by Cher. It’s from a 1960s compilation, honest guv. Written by Bono – Sonny, that is.
- Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To See Goodbye) by Daryl Hall and John Oates. Here the boys cover a Daryl Hall solo track on their 2018 long player Our Kind Of Soul. Proper nice.
- Bodhisattva by Steely Dan. Sheer greatness from 1973’s Countdown To Ecstasy.
- Down With The Ship by Todd Rundgren Feat. Rivers Cuomo. Ska from Todd and Rivers from Weezer? You bet. From 2021’s Space Force LP.
- Crazy Beat by Blur. Minus Graham Coxon, but still excellent. From 2003’s Think Tank.
- Between The Lines by Robyn. And finally, we return to 2018 with a belter from her LP Honey. Nice video, mind.
This week’s Desert Island Disc, ultimately decided by the toss of a three-sided coin, is Call It A Loan by Jackson Browne. Apologies to Steely Dan and Todd Rundgren Feat. Rivers Cuomo.
Have a good week till next week.
