It's my wedding anniversary today. I shouldn't be doing this.
Dream Academy - Life In A Northern Town
Sampled by Dario G for Sunchyme if you're wondering.
Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
Some would say miming the bass solo bit as it played on one of the tiny buses that drive around Falmouth is incredibly naff. Not this guy.
Clan Of Xymox - Stranger
As featured on The Chain a few weeks/months back. Dutch darkwave from 1985.
Devo - Social Fools
Rare-ish Devo from 1978, much closer to punk than synthy new wave.
Digitalism - Pogo
The sound of uni, baby. I'll never tire of this maximalist indie electro schtick.
Benga - Pleasure
I was reminded of this dubstep rumbler on one of those 6 Music's Rave Forever playlists because I am ancient and my back hurts and so do my knees.
808 State - 808091 (Live)
Finally got my vinyl situation sorted out (I needed a mini pre-amp) and can play records again. So, I collected some of my old stuff from my mum's when I was last down. This is on the b-side to Ooops, which I picked up for 50p from god knows where god knows when. Still prefer CDs mind, have you seen the prices?
San Soda - Juno Love
It's been a while since I jotted this one down, but I'm guessing I heard it on Do!! You!!! Radio. Laid-back driving music for 80s cars. Immaculate vibes.
The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me
Again, I know very little of this tune, but it's one of those minimal epics from Detroit, techno/electro for the soul. It came out on Warp in 2001, so I've no idea how I missed it.
