Good day all, and welcome to a windswept music shuffle from South Gloucestershire. Except that Storm Goretti passed us by and as I write there is barely a breath of wind. For those of you on the frontline of the storm, I hope you are safe and well and still have a roof.
Once again, it’s time for my weekly music shuffle, that fun-packed non-event where my music device selects ten random tunes from my collection and I tell you what it has chosen. All I ask you, my loyal reader, is to click on the song title, listen and, if you are in the mood, sing along.
Let the music play!
- Open Up by Leftfield. Banger from 2000’s Leftism long player. Mastering engineer one Paul Simonon, ex of The Clash.
- Romance Dance by Little Feat. Just a great joint from 1975’s stellar The Last Record Album.
- All The Secrets by Flying Lotus. Brilliant stuff from Mr Lotus.
- Splitting The Atom by Massive Attack. So, so good, from 2010’s Heligoland.
- Could Be Love by the Dwight Twilley Band. Now it’s back to 1976 and a joint from one of my favourite albums, Sincerely. The late great Dwight deserved so much more fame and success.
- Oye Como Va by Santana. And now it’s 1970 and a track from the great man’s best album Abraxas. No one else sounds like this.
- Big Green Country by Neil Young. Superb stuff from 1995’s brilliant Mirror Ball feat. Pearl Jam.
- Touch Too Much by AC/DC. My preferred AC/DC era, with the late, great Bon Scott on lead vocals. From 1979’s magnificent Highway To Hell.
- Friday Morning by Khruangbin. Simply gorgeous, from 2018’s Con Todo el Mundo.
- Dr. Beat by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. And finally, a trip back to 1984 from this beaut.
Some of you will be shocked and quite possibly appalled to learn that my Desert Island Disc this week is Dr. Beat by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.
Hope you found something you like. Have a good week till next week.
