Hello folks! Back again, or discovering for a first time? Well, lucky you, whichever it is. With the current hulabaloo over Scottish Independence, I've gone for a Scottish theme...
1) Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
Probably their high-point, to be fair!
2) U16 Girls - Travis
One for Savile and Glitter!
3) It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry - Glasvegas
It's what I think my ex-wife ought to be singing!
4) Bye Bye Baby - Bay City Rollers
Get your scarves out girls!
5) A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins
One I remember from Atlantic 252!
6) Mellow Yellow - Donovan
Nothing to do with custard!
7) Whistle For The Choir - The Fratellis
Purse your lips and whistle!
8) Why - Annie Lennox
If she don't know, how can we?!
9) 500 Miles - The Proclaimers
And 500 more!
10) Loaded - Primal Scream
I want to get loaded, and have a good time!
So, settle in with your Whiskey, your Bag pipes and your tam-o-shanter, and become an adopted Scot!
Hello, only me again! Sorry, but it's that time again... Mix-tape Time!! I couldn't come up with a theme myself, and despite my invitation to you readers to come up with a theme from time to time, no one has bothered. So I picked up my phone, went to the music player and shoved it on random, and what follows is the first ten tracks...
1) How Do You Sleep? - John Lennon
John has a post-break-up dig at Paul!
2) Act Naturally - The Beatles
Ringo basically admits he can't act!
3) At My Most Beautiful - REM
Cor, I'm gorgeous!
4) Red Scab - Adam & The Ants
Punk scabbiness!
5) I Was Made To Love Her - Stevie Wonder
Stevie knows why he's here!
6) My Little Empire - Manic Street Preachers
Manics come over a little 'Napoleon'!
7) She's Crafty - The Beastie Boys
Either she's sneaky, or good with her hands!
8) Sunrise - Norah Jones
Ravi Shankar's daughter, did you know?!
9) I Feel Free - Cream
No restrictions!
10) Can't Truss It - Public Enemy
Totally un-truss-able!
There you go, a mix-tape selection that's totally random. Until next time!
