Greetings pop-pickers and welcome to this week’s Music Shuffle. What happens is this: my music device chooses 10 random songs from my collection and I tell you what they are. You may be familiar with a few of them, you may not have heard of others. Either way, sit back, relax, click on the song title if you want to listen along and, if you feel like it, sing along.
So, without further ado, let’s rock!
- Idol; Re-Run by Westerman. Wow – this has only been out for a few weeks, Westerman’s An Inbuilt Fault, an early contender for album of the year.
- Children Of The Revolution by T. Rex. Classic joint from 1972, featuring the actual Turtles on backing vocals.
- Never Mind The Strangers by the Saw Doctors. A belter from the Irish chaps which, incredibly, dates back to 1992.
- Busy Doin’ Nothin’ by The Beach Boys. If you thought you knew the Beach Boys, then listen to this from the 1968 album Friends. The lyrics are in the video. So good.
- American Eulogy: Mass Hysteria/Modern World by Green Day. Excellent, from 2009’s 21st Century Breakdown.
- Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones. Back to…gulp…1966 for some classic Stones.
- The Hooks by Thom Yorke. As weird as you might expect, from Thom’s brilliant 2018 long player Suspiria.
- Chicago (We Can Change The World) by Graham Nash. Classic from Graham’s 1971 solo album Songs For Beginners. I love this bloke. This is what the song is about.
- Who Knew? by Disclosure & Mick Jenkins. House? Garage? Call it what you will but this track from 2020’s Energy is FAB-U-LOUS.
- Why Not? by Gentle Giant. Magnificent prog rock from 1970.
What a mix, even if I say so myself. This week’s Desert Island Disc is the exciting number eight song, Chicago by Graham Nash.
That’s all, folks!
