May 8, 20241 yr Author Suede – Saturday Night R.E.M. – Daysleeper The BlueBoy – Remember Me The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' Massive Attack – Teardrop [tried to avoid repeating songs which came up in the albums, but this can have another play - shame 'Risingson' was kept out of the Top 10, especially by that Babyface / Stevie duet] Pixies - Where Is My Mind would be another possible RIP song for Steve Albini but PJ Harvey is a good suggestion.
May 8, 20241 yr Blue Boy – Remember Me Lucid – I Can't Help Myself Madonna – Drowned World/Substitute for Love Massive Attack – Teardrop Radiohead – Karma Police
May 8, 20241 yr Fatboy Slim – The Rockafeller Skank Eagle-Eye Cherry – Save Tonight Daft Punk – Da Funk / Musique Massive Attack – Teardrop The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' + Des'ree - Life for the Jamelia slot x
May 8, 20241 yr I was going to suggest something from 'In Utero' for Steve Albini but I see I've been beaten to a suggestion (I don't know that PJ Harvey song but she is usually good so interested to hear x). Also didn't know he was behind 'Where Is My Mind?'!
May 8, 20241 yr The BlueBoy – Remember Me Radiohead – Karma Police Eels – Novocaine for the Soul Fatboy Slim – The Rockafeller Skank Massive Attack – Teardrop
May 10, 20241 yr The BlueBoy – Remember Me Radiohead – Karma Police Massive Attack – Teardrop Madonna – Drowned World/Substitute for Love David Morales presents The Face – Needin' U Absolutely MUST get a play in the Jamelia slot for being a buzzjack iconic song: Des'ree – Life Songs that were last to be cut :( Propellerheads with David Arnold – On Her Majesty's Secret Service Daft Punk – Da Funk Sheryl Crow – My Favorite Mistake The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' Garbage – I Think I'm Paranoid The Prodigy – Smack My Bitch Up Janet Jackson feat. Q-Tip and Joni Mitchell – Got 'Til It's Gone
May 12, 20241 yr Suede – Saturday Night PF Project feat. Ewan McGregor – Choose Life Faithless – God is a DJ Eels – Susan's House Ash – A Life Less OrdinaryÂ
May 12, 20241 yr Faithless - God Is A DJ Daft Punk - Da Funk Lucid - I Can't Help Myself Echo and the Bunnymen - Nothing Lasts Forever Eels - Susan's House RIPs: For Richard Tandy from ELO, I've picked this song from an acoustic session that he and Jeff Lynne did in 2012. You will see a lot more of him here than you would in a normal video:  For Duane Eddy can we have the 80s version of Peter Gunn with the Art Of Noise? He's not in the official video so I've found his performance on Top Of The Pops:
