The Friday Music Shuffle (23.4.21)

by Rick Johansen

It’s time for my Friday Music Shuffle. My device plays 10 songs from my collection, at random, and I tell you what they are. If you want to play/sing along, just click on the song title.

Let’s rock!

  1. Flash Delirium by MGMT. Some excellent electronic pop from the MGMT’s Congratulations long player.
  2. Dear Mr Fantasy by Traffic. Stevie Winwood’s voice in top form in this track from *checks notes* 1967.
  3. Valley Hi! by Stereolab. The classic 2:15 of musical bliss from the Labbers.
  4. Down A Different River by the Super Furry Animals. From 1997’s Radiator, this is mint.
  5. Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ by Michael Jackson. From 1982’s Thriller, this is Jacko at his brilliant best.
  6. Intro (It’s Album Time) by Todd Terje. Another most own album is It’s Album Time.
  7. Tell Me Why by The Beatles. A Lennon track from A Hard Day’s Night and it’s fantastic.
  8. El Nino by Agnelli and Nelson. Classic Old Skool Trance, here.
  9. The Strain by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band. I’m afraid this song really is about having a number two. (“Barbed wire bum baby” is one line…)
  10. The Angelic Welcome Of Mr Jones by Foster the People. Half a minute of lush Beach Boy style harmonies from 2014’s Supermodel record.

That’s all, folks!
