February 3, 20232 yr Author Ooops sorry! Last week was pretty lacking in good discoveries but the Massive Attack song was great and I also really enjoyed the Slipknot track although big 'your mileage may vary' on that. David Gray's 'The Other Side' was really nice, somewhat making up for the disappointment of 'This Year's Love' getting a play over the vastly superior 'Babylon'. Doves also pretty good. Lots of good stuff I already knew of course as ever, highlights including 'The Scientist', 'Feel', 'Star Guitar', 'Seven Nation Army', 'All My Life' and 'Can't Stop'. The RIP slots were a pretty good set of discoveries for me too, minus 'The Colour Of My Dreams' which I already knew from Club Bizarre.

Can't believe people ever leave before the end of these things x
February 3, 20232 yr I'd argue This Year's Love is one of the most beautiful songs ever. it's a song about having been thru a lot of f***ed up relationships, that haven't ended up well, so you've been hurt many times so you go into a new relationship but you have this fear that it's into gonna work and you will be hurt again It's about the uncertainty of relationships, the fear that the same patterns will repeat again and again and you're never gonna find anyone So it's not a song you can fully appreciate in 1 listen, and also depends if you relate to the song or not I do and thats why the song clicks with me maybe the song will click with you in 20 years or 30 years and then you'll release it's a great song but you need the right framework :) #end of rambling
February 3, 20232 yr Yeah I do think This Year’s Love is one where you need to listen to the words and let them draw you into the music. I bought White Ladder only knowing Babylon and thought it was fairly pants on first listen, and it became and still is one of my favourites ever.
February 5, 20232 yr Author Am sorting the playlist for this now, I think I will have it ready in time (so far queued 28 songs totalling 2 hours) so I'll post the list of #2 albums when I'm done with that. No RIP slots this week? None mentioned in here and I can't immediately think of any to suggest. (Not that that's a bad thing!)
February 5, 20232 yr Author 43 albums covered this week bringing us up to February 2005. There are a couple of songs today I'll be muting but we do finish on a high *.* #2 albums this week: 2003 Best: Greatest Hits of S Club 7 - S Club 7 Innocent Eyes - Delta Goodrem Dutty Rock - Sean Paul Dance of Death - Iron Maiden Silence Is Easy - Starsailor Live at Knebworth - Robbie Williams The Very Best of Sheryl Crow - Sheryl Crow Room on Fire - The Strokes A Present for Everyone - Busted 2004 Talkie Walkie - Air The Best of LeAnn Rimes - LeAnn Rimes You Are the Quarry - Morrissey Borrowed Heaven - The Corrs To the 5 Boroughs - Beastie Boys Studio 150 - Paul Weller Greatest Hits: My Prerogative - Britney Spears Will sort out the bonuses a bit later so will give people some time to suggest songs (y'all usually seem to be very quick with the suggestions anyway!) - on first glance I don't think this looks like a particularly compelling list :kink:

February 6, 20232 yr Author An early great discovery from Radiohead again this week, that remained by far the best discovery for me but also enjoyed the Faithless, Norah Jones and The Libertines songs. Faves from the ones I already knew were 'Mr. Brightside', 'Galvanize', 'Somewhere Only We Know', 'Spitfire' (nice that this went down generally well even with people who didn't know it!), 'American Idiot', 'Left Outside Alone', 'Hysteria', 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and 'Man On The Moon', lots of other pretty good ones too, I did know most of the songs this week already. Lol at the Il Divo cover of Toni Braxton :cheeseblock: and a weird one this week from Red Hot Chili Peppers with a live album that's not on either Spotify or iTunes and doesn't seem to have all of its tracks uploaded even on YouTube.
