Hi pop pickers and welcome to my weekly music shuffle.
It’s the same shuffle as it’s always been. My music device selects ten songs from my collection and I tell you what it’s chosen. I’d love it if you would listen along and see whether you like the music. Just click on the title.
Let’s have some fun.
- Mercurio by Karol G. Gorgeous song by the Columbian songstress, which comes from her 2023 album Mañana Será Bonito.
- Discoverer by R.E.M. An absolute banger from the band’s final album, 2011’s Collapse Into Now.
- Austin Powers by The Wondermints. Back to 1997 with this classic from the criminally underrated Wondermints. This song was directly commissioned from the band by Mike Myers.
- The Next 20th Century by Father John Misty. Simply brilliant by the great Josh Tillman from his 2022 album Chloë and the Next 20th Century.
- Love Hangover by Diana Ross. FYI, this song from 1976 appears on one of my Motown Chartbuster albums from the 1970s. It’s okay, is the best I will say about Ms Ross, who I have always thought was seriously overrated and the Supremes did their best work after she left.
- Angelo by BC Camplight. Short little tune from the great man’s 2020 LP Shortly After Takeoff. Nice.
- The Book I Haven’t Read by Lambchop. This joint comes from their 2000 album Nixon and it’s lovely.
- New South Wales by Jason Isbell. Can’t wait to see Jason again at Bristol’s Beacon in June. This lush track from his 2013 album Southeastern hopefully explains why. He’s amazing.
- How Do You Do It? by The Beatles. Yes, The Beatles version of the Gerry and the Pacemakers classic. Love it.
- Neal’s Fandango by The Doobie Brothers. Great track from their outstanding 1975 album Stampede. Buy this record.
A very strong shuffle IMHO, as the kids say. This week’s Desert Island Disc by a short head is the exciting number ten song Neal’s Fandango by The Doobie Brothers.
Hope you enjoyed that. I did.
Have a good week till next week.
