The Clash: White Man (in Hammersmith Palais)

Classic Clash.

King Curtis: Soul Serenade

Pure soul.

A Tribe Called Quest: Description of a Fool

Wise words from the Tribe.

Television: Marquee Moon

Another blast from the past.

Ella Fitzgerald: Miss Otis Regrets

Ella F. Oh my goodness. What a voice.

Discovery: So Insane

This just throbs out of the speakers........

Janelle Monae: Tightrope

JM Superstar.

The Jackson Sisters: I Believe in Miracles

Fab groovy stuff.

Propaganda: Duel

80s pop.

Echo and the Bunnymen: Killing Moon

Great pop!

Roots Manuva - Colossal Insight (Röyksopp Remix)

Pure poetry.

Roxy Music: Ladytron

Top notch Roxy Music, Eno included. There's a really nice live version of this from OGWT (1972)

Moloko: Dominoid

Fancy, fantastic, futuristic, funky fun from Moloko. What a vocal delivery! What an arrangement (Pop fact: There's an even better 12" that's stripped down bare but couldn't find it here. Seek it out!!).

Brazilian Girls: Pussy

Caught these guys live a few years back. I've no idea what this song means but it's really infectious.

The Pop Group: Snowgirl

I don't know what to say except I love this song.

Tom Waits: Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis

From the excellent album "Blue Valentine"

Bebel Gilberto: Samba da Benção

First 2 lines "It's better to be happy than sad, happiness is the best thing that exists"
Wonderful philosophy, wonderful song.

Frankie Valli: The Night

I got into this Northern Soul floor filler thanks to big sister Moe. Still sounds as strong as it did back in 1975 when it reached N°7 in the UK charts.

Kraftwerk: Neon Lights

Superb stuff!

Four Tet: Love Cry

Beautifully Crafted. Reach for the headphones......

The Chantells (with Jah Barry) - Waiting in the Park

Recorded in Joe Gibbs famous Studio 1 with Errol Thompson on the mixing desk, Gibbs himself producing & Sly Dunbar on drums. One of the first Jamaican reggae 12" I bought. It's still floating around.......somewhere!

Burial: Archangel

Wonderful!!

Joy Division: Atmosphere

Timeless!

Massive Attack: Safe From Harm

A soundtrack for Britain in the early 1990s. Bleak, desolate, threatening but with a glimmer of hope for the future.

The Velvet Underground and Nico: Femme Fatale

No introduction needed. Hauntingly beautiful.

Wire: Mannequin

This song is 34 years old but it still sounds fresh as a daisy.

All Good Funk Alliance Featuring Swamburger and Alexandrah: Where I Need to Be

Best kept secrets Part 1. How these guys aren't massive is beyond me. Put on some headphones and give your ears a treat. Featuring Swamburger & Alexandrah form Solillaquists of Sound. The harmonies just blow me away.

Van Morrison: Madame George

This is wonderful story telling. It's like a musical version of Jack Kerouac (Dr Sax) or James Joyce. Celtic Soul at it's finest.
Taken from one of the greatest albums of all time (I dare you to argue!).
