The Friday Music Shuffle (12.7.24)

Hi pop pickers and welcome to the weekly Music Shuffle. 10 songs from my collection, chosen at random by my music device (phone) and I tell you what it’s chosen. Just click on the song title to oh oh listen to the music and, if you are in the mood, why not sing along?

I hope you find something you like.

1. Creep Motel by Steve Lukather. In 2013, the legendary Toto axeman made his best solo record, Transition. Cracking rock and roll music.
2. The Lee Shore by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. A beautiful Croz tune from over half a century ago.
3. Kittens by Underworld. Banger from 1999’s Beaucoup Fish LP.
4. Three Women by Stereolab. Back to 2008 and a classy joint from Chemical Chords.
5. You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You go by Bob Dylan. From his great, if not greatest, album Blood On The Tracks.
6. Across The Universe by David Bowie. Here we are in 1975 with a Beatles cover from my favourite Bowie LP, Young Americans. Features one John Lennon on guitar.
7. Evil Woman by The Doobie Brothers. Speaking of favourite albums, here’s a belter from the Doobies’ best album, 1973’s The Captain And Me.
8. People On The High Line by New Order Feat. Elly Jackson. Quality tune from 2015’s excellent Music Complete album.
9. Leave Me Alone by Shaggy. Typical Orville Burrell (Shaggy) from 2002’s Lucky Day.
10. 04. Ninth Symphony Second Movement (Ludwig van Beethoven) by Wendy Carlos. Yes, from the score of Clockwork Orange. Brilliant.

A tough call for this week’s Desert Island Disc. With apologies to his Royal Bobness, it’s The Lee Shore by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Have a good week till next week.
