Ceefax Of Life: 9 in 1 (30)

9 in 1 (30)

Glitched mess, now more white than black, isn't that fun

Got to get a few more posts in before the end of the year. Pump those numbers. This'll be the least number of posts in a year ever on Ceefax of Life. Too much life if you ask me.

Bill Nelson - When The Birds Return

Outsider synth-pop from 1982 that has immaculate vibes. Rinse and repeat.

The Clash - Train in Vain (Stand by Me)

One for the dads.

Barry Manilow - Let's Get On With It

Now, if you told me when I started this blog in 2009 that it would feature Barry Manilow... but things change. Everything changes and nothing changes. Let's Get On With It was featured on a recent episode of Launette's Hour on NTS. Worth a listen like.

Whitney Houston - Love Will Save the Day

I was gonna make the same gag about 2009 but It's Not Right But It's OK is a stone-cold banger. Always has been. Always will be. Love Will Save the Day, from much earlier in her career, well, 1987, also slaps.

Pharoah Sanders - Love Is Everywhere

This is just glorious. Joyous, raw, bordering on ramshackle but not, every note is deliberate. Just wonderful, uplifting, soul-purifying jazz. If you need a pick me up in the God-forsaken world, bang this on.

LIFECOACH - 90% RAW

Should get something from this century in this list at least. The YouTube description has it as "Chilled, tripping leftfield House/Ambient House" and they've nailed that. Hangover house, maybe? From 2016.
