I need something to take my mind of a week of pain, ranging from minor toothache to a full-blown dental abscess. There’s only one thing to do: it’s to share my pain with you. And to that end, I have returned to my Man Cave, plugged in the elderly iPod to my battery of Marshall speakers (sort of) and will now press its magic button in order to produce a random shuffle of songs. Hence the Friday Music Shuffle. Do you see what I did there? It wasn’t very interesting, was it? Anyway, here goes!
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends!
This is the One by the Stone Roses. From their very near perfect first album, music doesn’t get much better than this.
Bad Boy Boogie by AC/DC. From their first live album, If You Want Blood We’ve Got It, my preferred lead singer Bon Scott smashes it here.
Copper Nail by 77:78. The boys from the Bees from the Isle of Wight from (a lot of froms here) their brilliant 2018 album Jellies, one of the best albums of the year.
What Is He Thinking? by the Streets. A Grand Don’t Come for Free remains such a great album.
Drug-Stabbing Time by the Clash. From their quite epic Give ‘Em Enough Rope long player. Magnificent.
Sit Down, Stand up (Snakes & Ladders) by Radiohead. Classic Thom and the boys, this one is on the excellent Hail to the Thief record.
I’m So Heavy by Sonny J. Brilliance from the Scouse DJ’s LP Disastro.
Hometown Blues by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Proper rock and roll music from the late, great Tom!
Tumbling Dice by the Rolling Stones. Need I say more?
He’s Misstra Know It All by Stevie Wonder. The boy at his very best from the epic Innervisions long player.
