Good day to one and all and welcome to the Friday Music Shuffle. That’s the time of the week when my music device randomly selects ten tunes from my collection and I tell you what it’s chosen. Should you wish to listen and even sing along, just click on the title.
I hope you find something you like.
- (Got To Keep) Open by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Nice little Latin-tinged ditty from 1990’s Live It Up LP, featuring Bruce Hornsby on accordion.
- Funny Girl by Father John Misty. Gorgeous song from 2022’s Chloë and The Next 20th Century.
- Hyperspace by Beck Feat. Terrell Hines. The enduringly brilliant Beck, here with the title track of his 2020 album.
- DoobeDood’nDoobe, DoobeDood’nDoobe, DoobeDood’nDoo by Diana Ross. Crackers title, but a nice enough joint from way back in 1970.
- Georgy Porgy by Toto. Back we go to 1978 and a lush track from the band’s debut album, which was called Toto.
- Comingback by Parcels. The brilliant Aussie tunesmiths with a lovely song from 2021’s essential Day/Night.
- Almost Cut My Hair (Live at Wembley Stadium 1974) by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. All time classic.
- Stepkids by The Avalanches. A classic Avalanches song from the excellent Wildflower LP from 2016, which features no less than eight samples. My favourite band since Steely Dan.
- We Crawl by The Polyphonic Spree. They should have been massive. This belter from 2007’s The Fragile Army.
- Sir Francis Drake by The Piccadilly Strings. From 1961, yer actual theme tune from a TV series which of course I don’t remember, but appears on a album of TV themes which I really did buy.
This week’s Desert Island Disc is Almost Cut My Hair by CSNY.
Have a good week ’til next week.
