June 29Jun 29 I think the first week was a little bit stronger overall but I actually added one more song to my playlist from this week (21 to last week's 20).Blondie - AtomicDavid Bowie - Alabama SongThe Jam - Going UndergroundJohn Foxx - No-One DrivingMartha And The Muffins - Echo Beach3 songs I knew extremely well already and 2 discoveries here - always good to expand my knowledge of Bowie's discog and this is a brilliantly leftfield track from him, sounded like it could have been taken off a black midi album. And John Foxx is 2 for 2 on great songs now, just looked up some spoilers and I see he has 2 more songs to come although both also landing in the 31-40 range, poor guy - very much looking forward to seeing if they keep up the quality of the first two. 'Echo Beach' is my overall fave of the week, never gets old xStiff Little Fingers and Rush were my next favourite discoveries of the week, and The Vapors and Siouxsie And The Banshees just missing out as my next fave songs I knew already (albeit I don't think I knew the latter was a Siouxsie And The Banshees song).
June 30Jun 30 missed the session this week but will try and listenI accidentally listened to half of them last week cos I thought the playlists was just day 1 :D but I already spot some big faves of mine, particularly Siouxsie's
