Day 9:

 

The song that inspired this theme suggestion, I’ve started to go back through some of Janet Jackson’s old albums that I didn’t hear before and this from the Janet album is an incredible song. Somebody online pointed out that Made In London’s Dirty Water (No.15 in 2000) is a straight rip-off and it’s hard to argue with that. Sounds the same in almost every way but I love both.

 

As folk rock is doing well at the moment I thought I’d go with this from 1970 - just bask in those harmonies.

I don't venture enough away from what I know to "discover" an older song tbh... I usually either know it already or if I've never heard it, it's because my tastes don't align with it and I don't care for it. I'll try and think of something but there isn't something "recently" that I've discovered... :thinking:

April 9th - A song from the 20th century that you only recently discovered

 

 

Magazine - Shot By Both Sides

 

I've been immersed in a lot of late 70s and early 80s new wave/post-punk style music recently. As a result, I found 'Shot By Both Sides' by Magazine, a fab discovery. This song dates back to 1978 and frustratingly peaked at #41 in the U.K.!

April 9th - A song from the 20th century that you only recently discovered: Magazine - Shot By Both Sides

Magazine were fabulous and featured one of the greatest guitarists ever - John McGeogh

Day 9 - Woody Guthrie - Tear the Fascists Down

 

The most recent new addition to my library that's from last century is this little ditty from the legend that is Woody Guthrie. I know plenty of his work but this somehow passed me by until I saw a version of it in the TV show Masters of the Air.

First written and performed in 1941 originally although this recording is from 1944 I believe.

Mr Oizo- Flat Beat

 

 

 

Remember this being played a lot when I was in Poole with my parents back in 1999.

Day 9

 

 

 

The Shirelles - Will you still love me tomorrow

 

Depends what you define as recently but I discovered this song about 2 years ago and I'd never heard it in my life... it's now one of my favourite songs ever I utterly adore it is one of my most played songs on spotify.

DAY NINE: SONG FROM LAST CENTURY

 

 

 

It's not entirely a new discovery as such as I've recognised it for a long time, but it's the most recent addition to my iTunes library from the 20th century after I heard it in a Netflix drama last year and realised how much I liked it

April 9th - A song from the 20th century that you only recently discovered: The Nolans - I’m In The Mood For Dancing

 

 

To be fair, I’m American and a 90’s baby, and the only time I really heard this song was on DDR, so it wasn’t until the YouTube algorithm recommended a video on UK girl group chart histories that I found out that not only was the DDR version a cover but this was pretty huge on the other side of the Atlantic in the 80’s!

 

Unironically I think this is the only song from the 20th century I've discovered in months! :lol: I used to listen to loads of music from before I was born but it's become less important for me now.
