Day 217 The Cocteau Twins "Cherry Coloured Funk (Seefeel Remix)"

Some musical balm for you - and me - after a long day...

Day 216 Camille Yarborough "Take Yo' Praise"

Great song. In fact, the whole "Iron Pot Cooker" album is amazing. It rivals Nina Simone in places.

Day 215 Tim Buckley "Buzzin' Fly"

Yet another artist that I discovered working at Record & Tape Exchange. Reminds me of sitting in the Camden Basement while the (invariably smelly) customers looked through the grade two's in desultory fashion. Believe it or not, it's a good memory...

Day 213 The Clean "Slug Song"

One for Paul Ward - not "Point that Thing...", but The Clean nonetheless. Wonderful.

Day 213 Paul Simon "Still Crazy After All These Years"

There's something very ungenuine about Paul Simon which really puts me off him, except on this song.

Day 212 Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy "Television"

Angry, articulate and a cracking tune. Michael Franti has mellowed out a bit these days, more's the pity.

Day 211 Hot Chip "Boy From School"

Fantastic melancholy electronica - melantronica, if you will...
