If you’ve been suffering from the wind today – and who hasn’t? – then what better way to wind down than to enjoy this week’s fun-packed music shuffle. 10 tunes chosen at random from my collection by my portable device and I tell you what they are. And if that’s not enough, you can click on the title and listen/sing along. What could be more fun?
Let’s rock!
- Accelerate by REM. Title track of the Accelerate long player released in 2008. Great band much missed.
- Slow And Low by The Beastie Boys. From the Boys first, and utterly epic, record Licensed to Ill, released in…gulps…1986.
- Out Of Nowhere by Delays. The loss of Greg Gilbert to cancer at the young age of 44 was as big a loss to music as I can remember. This great tune from 2006’s You See Colours.
- Original by Leftfield. So chilled from 1995’s superb Leftism.
- Overture to the Sun by Terry Tucker. If you have seen Clockwork Orange – and you should have – you might recognise this tune.
- I Only Drink When I’m Drunk by B.C. Camplight. Great track from one of 2020’s best albums Shortly After Takeoff.
- Every Breath You Take by The Police. This belter came out in 1983. 39 years ago.
- Mezzanine by Massive Attack. I’ll never forget the Massive Attack gig at Filton Airfield in 2019. Incredible. They played all of Mezzanine and here’s the title track.
- Alucard by Gentle Giant. Classic Prog Rock from 1970’s Gentle Giant. Discovering the band now is costing me a fortune in buying up their entire back catalogue.
- Our Prayer by The Beach Boys. A gorgeous, wordless hymn from their 1969 album Friends.
That’s all, folks!
