April 28, 20241 yr April 28th - A song you like that is about a journey somewhere 7D9aarWP8Ts The KLF - Baltimore to Fair Play The KLF's Chill Out project instantly popped into my head as source material for this! The whole record takes you on an ambient journey through the U.S. Gulf Coast states. In 2021, this album finally appeared on streaming as a re-edited package called Come Down Dawn (due to issues with some of the original samples used) so I've chosen a track off that version so it can be included on the playlist. I figured I had to pick one of the longer songs for a Rollo challenge! So have 'Baltimore to Fair Play', which was originally titled 'Madrugada Eterna'. --- April 1st - A song you like with a day in the title: New Order - Blue Monday April 2nd - A song by someone who appeared on a TV Talent show: Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days April 3rd - A song you like that makes you feel nostalgic: Sonia y Selena - Yo Quiero Bailar April 4th - A song you like with a US state in the title: Lana Del Rey - Florida Kilos April 5th - A song you would have as your walk-on music: BROCKHAMPTON - BOOGIE April 6th - A song you like that reminds you of a vacation: Alvaro Soler - Sofia April 7th - A song you like that is instrumental with no lyrics: The Tornados - Telstar April 8th - A song you like with a planet in the title: David Bowie - Life On Mars?

April 28, 20241 yr Day 28 - A song you like that's about a journey somewhere YWlJBQzKjlo Immediately thought of this given the theme. Surprised nobody chose this one yet given the title. I couldn't choose Last Train To Trancecentral as Jade already chose a different KLF track. Edited April 28, 20241 yr by TheSnake
April 28, 20241 yr DAY TWENTY EIGHT - A Journey 1boAusqiBMs No idea why this was the first thing that came to mind... but it was, so I guess I'll go with it. Later Joni tracks are often overlooked and this is from a pretty good album of hers.
April 28, 20241 yr April 28th - A song you like that is about a journey somewhere Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat A somewhat short journey - the walk from the narrator's cell to the electric chair - and the metaphorical journey in his head as he is finally able to admit his guilt to himself. Absolutely one of my favourite records of all time and one that made me sit bolt upright in full attention when I first heard John Peel play this back in '88. A shame the sound is a bit muddied on the video as it's a completely different mix to the album version.

The Mercy Seat is amazing too, incredible storytelling and build-up <3 Day 28 - I'll go with another underrated one, has a really lovely chorus and lyrics and music has a good contrast as the narrator moves away. eaJxx-ihWj0

April 28, 20241 yr Day 29 Coldplay - Princess of China (ft. Rihanna) Not usually big on Coldplay but this song is massive and it's one I forget about a lot so it felt right to pay it a lil homage here x I didn't want to go for America/U.S.A as there's loads of songs that mention that in the title, Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) would have been my next one
