The Friday Music Shuffle (30th April 2021)

by Rick Johansen

To celebrate the 31st anniversary of when I left Briz (the Brislington area of Bristol), it’s time for a special Friday Music Shuffle, which will be exactly the same as the previous ones. Ten tunes from my collection, chosen at random by my telephone device and I tell you what they are. Play along, why don’t you, by clicking on the song title?

Without further ado, let’s rock!

  1. A.A.A.A. by Working Men’s Club. Brilliant New Order-style electronic rock from 2020.
  2. Little Of Your Time by Maroon 5. Probably not a fashionable thing to admit but I really like Maroon 5.
  3. Cars In Space by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. Brilliant from 2020’s Sideways to Italy album. Near the top of my bucket list to see.
  4. I Want you Back Again by The Zombies. From 2015’s surprisingly strong Still Got That Hunger album, always good to hear the voice of Colin Blunstone.
  5. I Feel The Earth Move by Carole King. 1971, as I never fail to point out, was the best ever year for music. This, from Tapestry, pretty well proves my point.
  6. All For Self by the Fun Lovin’ Criminals. Very excellent track from 1998’s 100% Columbian.
  7. Love Said (Let’s Go) by 77:78. Two of the Isle of Wight’s brilliant Bees, this is from 2018’s Jellies. Class.
  8. Endless Bummer by Weezer. Rivers and the chaps on top form from their untitled 2016 album.
  9. El Condor Pasa (If I Could) by Simon and Garfunkel. Well over 50 years old, Bridge Over Troubled Water remains an incredible album. And this is one reason why.
  10. Almost Gothic by Steely Dan. Cool, sophisticated, genius, from 2000’s Two Against Nature.

That’s all, folks!
