Day 352 Dan Penn "If Love Was Money"

An exemplary bit of blue eyed country-meets-soul. For those of you interested in that kind of thing, there's a great break near the end of this too...

Day 351 Aphrodite's Child "Four Horsemen"

Funky Greek prog rock plus footage of Demis Roussos getting pissed in a taverna?  I'm in !!

Day 350 Gil Scott-Heron "Winter In America"

America's greatest political lyricist - one who could make the political human and real.  The people know...

Day 349 Hot Chocolate "You Win Again"

Another desolate pop classic, up there with by "The Winner Takes It All".  I can't understand why they look so happy singing this...

Day 348 Echo and the Bunnymen "Ocean Rain"

I had a strange dream last night that I listened to this and realised it sounded exactly like "Purple Rain". The Bunnymen in their pomp.

Day 347 Steely Dan "Showbiz Kids"

Not the coolest gang in town, but this is a great nasty little song anyways.

Day 346 Foul Play "Music Is The Key (Omni Trio Remix)"

Formative musical experience number three: hearing this tumble out of a radio in the early nineties - I remember the question at the time was "drum & bass: the sound of the future or someone rattling a bag of spanners?" I guess the answer was neither...
