The Friday Music Shuffle (Friday 13th June 2025)

Good day and welcome to the Friday Music Shuffle.

Every week, I set my music device free and it selects ten random songs from my collection. Then, for no obvious reason, I tell you, my loyal reader, what it’s chosen.

You can play your part my clicking on each song title and listening and, I hope, singing along to the music.

I hope you find something you like.

1. Carry On/Questions by Crosby, Stills and Nash. The 2012 live, and best, version IMHO. I simply love this.
2. Find A Way by Say She She. 2023’s album Silver should really be called Gold. It’s wonderful, as are the band.
3. Pay In Blood by Bob Dylan. From 2012’s fine LP Tempest, here’s His Royal Bobness.
4. Out There by Iglu and Hartley. Their star shone brightly and briefly and I recall seeing them in Bristol’s Thekla around 2009 and saying: They will go far. They didn’t, but this is nice.
5. Boots of Spanish Leather by Bob Dylan. Bob again with a joint from 1964’s The Times They Are A-Changing album. Classic.
6. Chicago by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Some welcome recurring artists this week. This version of the Nash song is from 1972’s live album 4 Way Street.
7. Invisible by Modest Mouse. Lovely joint from 2007’s excellent We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, featuring throughout one Johnny Marr.
8. Red Cortina by The Saw Doctors. Great band. This one comes from the brilliant and brilliantly titled 1991 album If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back.
9. Don’t Let The Blues Get You Down by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Bit of a dud from 1975’s otherwise excellent LP Four Wheel Drive.
10. Mr. Sellack by The Roches. I’m rather fond of this band. This is from their 1979 album called, very originally, The Roches.

This week’s Desert Island Disc is Carry On/Questions by Crosby, Stills and Nash. 

Hope you enjoyed that. Have a good week till next week!
