It’s impossible for me to choose a favourite Smiths song, but the lyrics in this are probably some of my favourites: <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">When you cycled by, here began all my dreams</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>.

Big up <b>Carl Battams</b> by the way, for the photo of me above, and all our photography. Their love for all things <b>Trent Reznor</b> has finally rubbed off on me and I can’t wait to see this tune played live in June.

WARMER MIXTAPES #1670 | by Nicole Hebert [<a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/1873964-Nikki-Never" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Nikki Nevver</a>] of <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/2524543-Automatic-Fancy" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Automatic Fancy</a>, <a href="https://terrorbird.bandcamp.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Terror Bird</a> and <a href="https://subterraneanloversmusic.bandcamp.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Subterranean Lovers</a></div>
<b><br />
</b> <b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Soft Cell</span><span style="color: #cc33cc;"> </span>| <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Loving You, Hating Me</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
It's quite hard for me to pick a favourite <b>Soft Cell </b>song, as I'm in love with the voice, performance style and aesthetic of <b>Marc Almond</b> and a huge fan of this band in general. But I'll choose this one because it's the one I became obsessed with for years and sang at karaoke. I also especially love <b>The Art Of Falling Apart</b> and <b>Loving You, Hating Me</b>!!! <br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>David Bowie</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Heroes </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Moonage Daydream (Arnold Corns Version)</b>, <b>Candidate (Demo Version)</b>, <b>Sweet Thing</b>, <b>Absolute Beginners</b>... I could go on and on... I love <b>David Bowie</b> so much, I started out with <b>Labyrinth</b> as a child, and I eventually became hooked after listening to the soundtrack so many times. Honestly, I could mention about 20-30 more favourite Bowie songs. <span style="background-color: #fcff01;"><b>He's been such a huge part of my life and I have more of his records than I do of any other artist</b></span>. My boyfriend ordered me an actual mold of his face, and I have no idea how or where he found this. It chipped on the way here and he ordered special paint and repainted it. It drove me crazy that I couldn't figure out why he had sandpaper, but it was to sand his face, I suppose!! The mold is finally hanging from my ceiling. I definitely wrote a song about Bowie called <b>David Bowie, Come Live With Me</b> and cried when he died. <br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>The Smiths</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">Breaks my heart because I heard this song and this album when I was feeling intense Love Anticipation and Rejection feelings toward/from my first big love, friend and roommate in a dark bedroom. Of course, she broke my heart more than once and made me sickly love this song forever. It has the best, most tragic sound. I love how it starts, it's so beautiful, sad and romantic. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Grace</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Not Over Yet </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">This song reminds me of my now boyfriend, because he introduced it to me when we'd first met and were travelling together</span></b>. We got drunk off wine or beer a lot during this time and sometimes danced like crazy in cheap <b>Airbnb</b>s to songs like this one. <b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I imagined he was trying to give me a message with this song as I was about to go back to Canada and was scared to commit to a long distance relationship as I had just gotten out of one and I found being from different countries unnecessarily complicated</span></b>. He was right though, if he was trying to tell me something. <span style="background-color: #fcff01;"><b>It wasn't over yet!!</b></span> <br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Dexys Midnight Runners</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Geno</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I loved the song <b>Come On Eileen</b> when I was sixteen (still do!), but didn't know that this band had so many more amazing songs. I bought the record with their biggest hit on it, and discovered the beautiful song <b>All In All (This One Last Wild Waltz)</b> which was my top <b>Dexys Midnight Runners</b> song for years. I love their use of strings and the singer's voice so much! But then I discovered <b>Geno</b>, and I had a new favourite. <br />
<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Coldplay</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Shiver</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I know it's not very cool to like Coldplay, but their first album, especially this song has always done something special to my stomach which no other song can do!</span></b> <b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I can't tell if it's good or bad, but I think it's a beautiful, Melancholy gut-wrenching feeling</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I think it made me imagine as a teenager what Real Love and Heartache would feel like</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I remember riding in the back of a car, while my friend's dad drove down a winding, scary road on Texada Island and this played</span></b>. I think early Coldplay is super romantic and I love the guitar instrumental bit and the part where he sings <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">and it's you I see, but you don't see me</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. I also like their second album very much. Oops, the secret's out! <br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Twin Crystals</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Punk Heart</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This is the song and band of my friend <b>Jordan</b>, who recorded my most recent album, <b>Subterranean Lovers</b>, <b>Jesse</b> who I DJ all the time with at<b> The Dark Eighties</b> and who plays in <b>Italians Do It Better</b> band<b> In Mirrors</b> plus my ex husband, <b>Jer</b>! It's a great song, it reminds me of touring with<b> Twin Crystals</b> with my band <b>Modern Creatures</b> and the vibrancy of the <b>Vancouver</b> <b>Punk</b>/<b>Noise</b> scene around 10 years ago. I love everything about it, the lyrics, the immediacy, the guitar, the vocals. <b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I like to pretend it's about me because once Jesse called me The Star Of The Night, which are lyrics from the song, although I'm sure it's not and he says that to everyone!</span></b><br />

<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Tim Buckley</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Love From Room 109 At The Islander (On Pacific Coast Highway)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">This song is really original and takes you on a journey with its many changes</span></b>. The lyrics are beautiful. I first got into it around age 20. It gives me that Melancholy stomach feeling I know... That means it's an amazing song worth loving forever. <br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Devours</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Late Bloomer</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This whole album is so great. <b>Devours</b> is perfect, <b>Modern</b>, original <b>Dance Music</b> with a heart. He's going to blow up huge any minute, I know it. He played at a <b>NYE</b> party I put on and I went crazy. <br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">unhappybirthday</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title"><span class="track_title">Molly</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I've always loved this song and this band, who I met and fell in love with on tour in <b>Germany </b>around 7 or 8 years ago. <b><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">I love the Melancholy Wistfulness of the keys and guitar</span></b>. I want to cover it so bad, but my German accent is so bad! I know <b>Daniel </b>puts a lot of effort into writing beautiful sounding German lyrics, so I am sure they are wonderful! <br />

<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Johnny Cash</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Ring Of Fire <span style="color: black;">(Anita Carter Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I was 9 years old in 1975 when my dad took me to see the great man play live in <b>Belfast</b> at <b>The Grand Opera House</b>. He had his whole band with him, including brass section. <b>June Carter Cash</b> joined him onstage singing <b>Jackson</b>. When he came on stage the whole place stood up, clappin' and hollerin’... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It was the first time I had a spiritual experience</span></b>. Just priceless.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Queen</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Bohemian Rhapsody</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I spent every weekend with my head pressed up-against my dad's gramophone speaker on the chart rundown at a time before tape recorders and before I could even conceive of asking dad to buy me that record</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I'd never heard Opera before - never knew what Rock Opera was.</span></b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>The Police</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Walking On The Moon</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The first band that was mine, not my dad's or friends' taste. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Just loved The Police, their sound, the songs, their energy and musicianship</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It was the first time I taught myself (Pre-Internet and Mentor) to play a complicated riff (Message In A Bottle) on my battered old Framus Acoustic</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The thing I heard about The Police was that they were so good at their instruments that they tried to beat each other by playing as little as possible to achieve maximum impact</span></b>. Evidence - <b>Bring On The Night</b>! There’s a single note lead break from <b>Andy Summers</b> that is <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">SOOOOO GOOOD</span></b>! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>The Blue Nile</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">A Walk Across The Rooftops</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Their debut album. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">One of the most criminal moments in Common Musical History is that this band weren’t massive</span></b>. <b>Buchanan</b>'s vocals soar above <b>Electronic</b> instruments and the divine live guitars supply a mix that is to my ears unsurpassed. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Simple Minds</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Someone Somewhere (In Summertime)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Fell in Love to it, danced to it, still play it today</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Every delicious riff and groove</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Sublime</span></b>. <b>Jim Kerr</b>’s brooding vocals, <b>Charlie Burchill</b>'s soaring guitar licks that are humanly impossible and <b>Mel Gaynor</b>'s crisp groove... Ah, man! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Smiths</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>What Difference Does It Make?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Slap you in the face with the guitar riff from Heaven</span></b>. Combination of <b>Morrissey</b>'s <b>Wilde</b>an flamboyant style and <b>Johnny Marr</b>‘s <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Baroque</span></b> detailed guitar picking a la <b>Chet Atkins</b>/<b>Gibson</b> is, to this date, <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>IMHO</b></span>, unsurpassed. Later while digging into the backline sound, found out their producers were using samplers for the kick and snare on the <b>Akai S950</b>, not to take anything from <b>Joyce</b>. He was still written and played the hell out of these drums, they just replaced the kick/snare with the big trendy sound of the time. They were all at it, from <b>Duran Duran</b> to <b>ABC</b> and <b>Echo & The Bunnymen</b>. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Ellis Begs & Howard</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Big Bubbles, No Troubles</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Again, as above, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">a seminal record for me and strangely with a twist in its tail</span></b>. Later on, when I formed <b>D:Ream</b>, <b>Simon Ellis</b>, one third of the trio, turned up on my doorstep to audition. I didn’t even need to hear him play. I told him instantly he’d got the job, we then proceeded to my favourite bar. Simon has since gone on to do great things and some not so great things.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Zoë</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Sunshine On A Rainy Day</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I was bartending in <b>Woody's</b> night club (an old <b>S7M</b> joint, <b>Portobello</b>, <b>London</b>) when <b>Charlie Hall </b>(he of <b>Shoom</b> fame) finished the evening for every nite for for 4 weekends running. I'd never taken an <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">E</span></b> by this stage, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">but even as a sober 20-year-old it made the hairs stand on the back of my neck</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Grid</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Floatation (Subsonic Grid Mix)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Once I <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">got</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> <b>House Music</b>, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">this was one of those tracks played out in the summer of 1990</span></b>. It's more the <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">chilled out</span></b> side of things - but I wore out my vinyl copy of the <b>Andy Weatherall</b> remix. The vibe was at that time... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">New Man, flotation tanks, guarana, bottled water, etc.</span></b>...<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Leftfield</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Not Forgotten</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I couldn’t get my head 'round what these boys had done</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">D:Ream never used samples this way</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">We were never that clever</span></b>. <br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Listen to the strings opening on U R The Best Thing and you’ll know how much I loved this record</span></b>. It's a shame, 'cause having bought this on 12”... I was bitterly disappointed to find when I bought the album that this was the only <b>Up-Tempo</b> song on there... But loved it nonetheless. <br />

WARMER MIXTAPES #1668 | by David Robert Thomas Jr. [<a href="https://davethomasjunior.bandcamp.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Dave Thomas Junior</a>]</div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Radiohead</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Exit Music (For A Film)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The most perfect song. The sampled choir, the bass synth that comes in at the end and the <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Romeo And Juliet</b></span> tragedy of it all. It took me quite a while to understand the melody, but once I did I was all in. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I listen to this song at least once a week and I think I always will</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Frank Ocean</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Pyramids</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Two Part</b></span> nature of this one blows my mind. It’s so cool when that <b>808 </b>drops in for the second half and we come into <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The Present</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song reminds me of being in many different places - driving up the Thruway in NY, Vegas, Rome, and I guess Egypt, even though I’ve never been, LOL</span></b>.<br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Richard Wagner</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Tristan Und Isolde: Prelude <span style="color: black;">("Credits (Tristan And Isolde)" & other Tristan And Isolde excerpts from Melancholia Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Performed by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Conductor: Richard Hein)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I got into this one from the <b>Melancholia</b> soundtrack - I’ve never been to the <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Opera</b></span> although I would love to go. I’m into <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Mindfulness</span></b> and <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Zen</b></span> and the idea that we are not our minds, and that <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Consciousness</span></b> is maybe <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The Basis Of Everything</span></b> (<b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p75UvW4ZqkE&t=6s" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">check this out</a></b>, it’s so intense). Somehow the idea of the <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Absolute End of the World</span></b> like this offers another perspective on that. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I think it’s healthy to pay Death some mind, to allow it in and notice what that makes us feel</span></b>. I’m not very good at that, but I’m working on it! <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I can get there sometimes, and get present to the idea that we are an expression of The Universe and are inextricably connected through that</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">David Bowie</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Let’s Dance</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The snare sound. How tight the track is. That little bit of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Silence</span></b> after the snare before the next line starts. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The Sound</span></b> of this one. Dang. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love dancing to this one</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Kelly Clarkson</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Since U Been Gone</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love Max Martin and I think this one is his absolute best</span></b>. All his trademark moves are there, like the way it builds and the way the tag happens in a different place at the end. The chords in the middle eight keep going somewhere different and it’s actually insanely complicated, but sounds so natural.<br />
<br />

<b><br />
</b> <b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Goldie Lookin Chain</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">My DJ</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This one is extremely <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Parental Advisory</span></b> so be advised! <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I absolutely love Goldie Lookin Chain</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s true genius</span></b>. Some of the lines unpack in like 3 different directions and I just don’t know how they do it. Especially not while smoking so much weed.<br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Beatles</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Yesterday</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (Anthology 2 Version)</b><br />
This version shows the fact that the final single version was 99% recorded live. So, so amazing. Also the absence of <b>George Martin</b>’s string arrangement somehow demonstrates how great it is too. The bit of talking at the beginning brings the whole thing down to earth, and is a reminder that this song didn’t always exist, but it was written, and then played to the band <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">what key’s it in?!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> on that day.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Whitney Houston</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Quite simply the best song in the World</span></b>. Put it on and try to skip it... You cannot.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Father John Misty</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Pure Comedy</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This song is like the song version of the book <b>Sapiens</b> and I love it. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This whole album was a big part of my 2017 and I still listen to the whole thing now</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The lyrics!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Sinéad O’Connor</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Nothing Compares 2 U</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (The Family Cover)</b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love, love, love a heartbreak song and this one is up there with the finest</span></b>. Something else I love about this song is <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">the drums</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It sounds to me like they were trying to emulate a loop but didn’t have a sampler, they just had one of those pesky full actual drum kits so they made do</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Seems like a very backwards way for things to be and a real moment in Time, and I love that</span></b>.<br />

<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>The Sons Of The Pioneers</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Cool Water</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This is totally subjective, of course. I first heard it when I was six years old when I used to raid my parents' collection of 78s. All the songs they liked were mushy <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Love</span></b> songs by tight-ass pretty boys and over-made-up women (<b>Jo Stafford</b>, <b>Vaughn Monroe</b>, <b>Bing Crosby</b>...). <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I liked the feel of Music even at that age</span></b>. But smarmy romance lyrics held no appeal for a 6-year-old kid. It was all <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Come back I miss you</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. or <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">You're my honey pie</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. Yuck! Then one day I put on this song about two guys dying of thirst in the desert. Holy shit! This was something I could get my baby teeth into. That bridge: <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Keep a-movin', Dan! Don't you listen to him, Dan! He's a devil, not a man! And he spreads the burning sand with water</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Whoa!</span></b> And that irresistible echo-y refrain <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Cool... (Water!)... Clear (Water!)... Water, water, water</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Later on, after getting my heart and balls broken a few times, I came to appreciate the power of Love songs</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But hearing this song, at that age gave me my first awareness of how song lyrics could fascinate, touch and excite the soul</span></b>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Gato Barbieri</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile) <span style="color: black;">(Carlos Santana Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
There are very few songs about which I can say <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I never get tired of this</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. Even my favorite records eventually reach the point of diminishing returns. After continued play, I get to the point where I anticipate what's coming and no longer <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">hear</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> it. For some reason, this record ALWAYS thrills me. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">No lyrics at all</span></b>. Just that expressive, passionate tenor sax pouring out of a totally alive soul. Even that thumpy repetitive do-nothing bridge SHOULD be boring, but somehow it's not. What an experience.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">On My Own <span style="color: black;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">There's no adequate words in my vocabulary to express what this record does to me</span></b>. The slick Music biz execs are fond of saying the perfect ingredients for a hit are <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Song</span></b>, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Producer</span></b> and <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Artist</span></b>. I guess that's right. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But this record has an indefinable something that lifts it past the sum of its magnificent parts</span></b>. The <b>Bacharach</b>/<b>Sager</b> song provides <b>LaBelle </b>with something worthy of those astonishing pipes. <b>McDonald</b>'s gruff-but-warm counterpoint and the powerful build of the track <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">make me care about what those sad words are saying</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">And when they sail out into the stratosphere on that release about three and a half minutes in, it triggers an explosion that detonates all resistance to the naked truth of the lyrics</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Danny O'Keefe</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">You Look Just Like A Girl Again</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">There's something about Danny's music that always makes me feel I'm being offered entry to an intimate, secret place where not everyone can go</span></b>. On the surface, some of his songs are too cryptic, some are too on-the-nose and clever. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But somehow none of their blemishes keep me from feeling what he's inviting me to feel</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">He casts a spell with his writing and none of the seeming imperfections keep me out of his heart</span></b>. This song, to me, is his best: A man reassuring his woman that she's still young and beautiful to him despite <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">the years [she] cannot hide</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's easy to write about Hot New Love</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But to evoke the emotions of a couple who has walked a long road of Life together, that's hard to do</span></b>. And that bridge: <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Oh these tender moments... That we hang our dreams upon... Were we ever really children?... And are we now so far beyond?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">How many marriages would still be together if more husbands had said these simple words to their wives?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Jr. Walker & The Allstars</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">What Does It Take (To Win Your Love) </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Such an exciting record. I love those fall-on-your-knees-and-profess-your-love tunes. And <b>Walker </b>really pours it out. The words are simple and compact. No <b>Shakespeare</b>an eloquence here, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">just a simple declaration of Desperate Desire</span></b>. And I like the way he takes it as far as he can go with his voice, then gives up and lets his sax do the talking.

<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Bob Dylan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Mr. Tambourine Man </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I don't get most Poetry</span></b>. It's either too fluffy and flowery for me or, worse, it's phony and pretentious. From what I understand, poets are supposed to communicate something that prosaic language can't say. A few do it (<b>Bukowski</b>, <b>Ted Kooser</b>, <b>Sharon Bryan</b> at her best....). But most of it is, to me, just tiresome gibberish. I call it <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><b>The Emperor's New Art Form</b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. But when I first heard this, I <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">got it</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. Back then, I was fond of staying up for days at a time on amphetamines. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I knew that feeling of moving, dreamlike, through a world that exists somewhere between Sleep and Wakefulness</span></b>. And when I heard this song, I knew <b>Dylan </b>knew it too.I remember thinking, <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Ah! So THIS is what <b>Poetry</b> is supposed to do</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Without nailing it down with direct description, every image, every line is pointing to something I know</span></b>. One word that comes to mind is <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">generous</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. Dylan was talking to me personally with his finger touched to his lips as if to say, <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Shhh! I know you know about this, but let's not tell a lot of people about it</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. It still gives me the shivers when I hear it.<br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Judie Tzuke</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">For You</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Oxford</b> defines the word <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">ethereal</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> as <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. That's the precise description I'd give to this finely wrought piece. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I've never heard a more unique record</span></b> -- <b>Judie</b> and her co-writer <b>Mike Paxman</b> and their producer <b>Lem Lubin</b> weaving and twisting those fragile melody lines into a fully fleshed out harmonic unit. It's all <b>A Cappella</b> for the first minute. Then the subtle string lines start sliding in unobtrusively and build to a tender, <b>Classical</b>-sounding <b>Instrumental </b>bridge. This is a <b>Baroque</b> piece that rivals <b>Bach</b>. <br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">For Good</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (Live) (Wicked Original Soundtrack)</b><br />
This touching song happens at the end of the play. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's an expression of the hard-won friendship of two strong but very different women who have been joined in a common cause</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">They've both had to bend and change, but they've grown and become closer because of what they've been through together</span></b>. Of course all this is clear from the lyrics and it's most powerful when it's heard in the context of the play. But even hearing it alone, without knowing the entire backstory, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">the strength of it comes through</span></b>. Is there a better, more succinct way to say it than this: "<i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I don't know if I've been changed for the better. But because I knew you, I have been changed for good</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>."<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Kool And The Gang</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Joanna</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Guilty pleasure #1. In just about every interview I do, the reporters ask me <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">What's your advice to new songwriters?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. I always say I have no right to advise anyone about songwriting. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But I suggest you take care with your lyrics</span></b>. Don't just throw in words that fit. Make them mean the most they can. So how can I justify loving this absolutely horrible song? I can't. It's one of those unexplainables. Can you find a more crass and basic hook than <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Joanna, I love you. You're the one for me!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>? Some indefinable quality in it moves me and makes me feel and remember those stirrings of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">New Love</span></b>. I know it's dumb, but when I hear it, I can't help but jiggle and wiggle.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Bob Lind</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>The Outsider's Dream</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Guilty pleasure #2. This is probably against the rules -- at least it should be. At best it's shamelessly immodest for an artist to list one of his own tunes as a favorite. So okay, arrest me. I justify it by asking myself, <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">If I heard this and didn't know it was me, would it still move me?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The answer is yes</span></b>. I believe it's poignant and well-written and my singing is adequate to carry the impact. But <b>Jamie Hoover</b>'s production is at least half of what I love about it. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">He found the secret of the song and, without adding anything ostentatious, brought the meaning home</span></b>. All the players are wonderful and <b>Dave Hubbard</b> playing the signature line is just devastating. When I sent Jamie the demo, I had a wimpy synth flute playing that line. I didn't realize how pussy it sounded until Jamie suggested it ought to be voiced by a tenor sax. That made a huge difference. And Dave's solos -- in and out -- intensify <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The Loneliness</span></b> I've built into the lyrics. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I'm proud of this one</span></b>.<br />

<div style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
WARMER MIXTAPES #1666 | by Brian Cleary (<a href="https://springbreaktapes.bandcamp.com/album/in-one-era-out-the-other" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Movies</a>) of <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/336369-Radar-Bros?anv=Radar+Brothers" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Radar Brothers</a> and <a href="http://strangeparadeofficial.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Strange Parade</a></div>
<br />
<div style="color: #ff6600; text-align: center;">
I could never pick a definitive <b>Top 10</b> favorite songs. There are too many and it would take me centuries to choose. So I just went with 10 from the (much bigger) list that came to mind first and in no particular order.</div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Nice Drake</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Which Will</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Tough call with about 10 other <b>ND</b> songs, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">but this was my first</span></b>. I heard this while taping a College radio show in <b>Boston</b> around 1983. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;"> It was the only Nick Drake song I had for a few years until I picked up a Best Of collection</span></b>. I think it’s a perfectly written and perfectly executed song. The lyrics are some of his simplest and most direct but not shallow. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">And I love the equating of decisions with dominoes</span></b>. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Chameleons</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Second Skin</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Epic. I got this album about a year into doing my first radio show. It was an amazingly creative and rich time for <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">New Music</span></b> already. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This album blew me away altogether, but this song in particular is epic (in the actual sense of the word)</span></b>... The structure goes through various <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">movements</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>, passing to and from each one so organically. Plus you can play it as loud as you want and it only sounds better and better. Plus it’s just a freaking good song. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Beatles</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Flying</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
+ <b>Blue Jay Way</b>... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">From about the time I was 4-5, I’d spend all day going back and forth from the piano in our basement to my brother’s tape player upstairs</span></b>. <b>Magical Mystery Tour</b> was my favorite. It still is. It’s hard to pick a favorite <b>Beatles</b> song, but I’ve never grown sick of this little combo. It also gets extra points for <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">sheer originality</span></b>. I’m counting it as one song because it always felt that way to me and should be heard that way. I can never hear one without the other. Yes, I’ve cheated.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Mission Of Burma</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Einstein’s Day</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I remember listening to this right after I saw that TV movie <b>The Day After</b> when it aired for the first time and it somehow perfectly captured my teen rage on the subject. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I think I’d never felt angrier about the world outside of mine</span></b>. I don’t even know if the song has anything to do with nuclear war really, but something about the imagery and thoughts provoked at the time felt right about that. It was a powerful moment for me. And I’m from Boston, so there’s a bit of bias here. <br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Matt Johnson</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Another Boy Drowning</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Another song I taped off the same radio show where I first heard a few of these others. I bought this record in 1982 as an import in Boston. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It was my first import and first 4AD record</span></b>. It was later re-released under his band name <b>The The</b>. It’s one of the trippiest, most <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Psychedelic</span></b> records of the 80s and great all the way through. He did it all himself at the age of 20 (outside of one song with help from <b>Graham Lewis</b> of <b>Wire</b> & <b>Dome</b>). This song completes the album perfectly. <br />
<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>The Fall</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Paintwork</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I had to include one from <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">one of my favorite bands of ever</span></b>. Something about this one makes me turn it up every time it pops on my shuffle. Never get sick of it. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The way the production suddenly shifts and brings you into different <i>rooms</i> is something few bands (like much of what The Fall did) ever venture to try</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It breaks all the rules beautifully</span></b>. <br />
<img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfjCnkQrUvI/XWx9G1bPbnI/AAAAAAAAiNM/Sznf1a1USg8uTgs2_Cyz5YPw0in8-hMlgCLcBGAs/s1600/BRIANMOVIES3.png" /><br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Rolling Stones</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Lady Jane</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
It was a tough call between this and <b>Ruby Tuesday</b>, but I went with the least obvious one, just to sound more interesting. They are both so beautiful, but this one takes the welding of <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Old World</b></span>/<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">New World</span></b> to a level of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Perfection</span></b> I’ve rarely seen. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I think Brian Jones was more of a musical genius than he’ll ever get credit for</span></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Bob Lind</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Unlock The Door</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I’ve only discovered <b>Bob Lind</b> in the last few years and it was very hard picking one song. I first heard his music (unknowingly) when<b> John Otway</b> covered his gem, <b>Cheryl’s Going Home</b> for the classic concert/compilation film, <b>Urgh! A Music War</b> (<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">a MUST-HAVE for any fan of good early 80’s New Wave/Punk</span></b>). Once I discovered Bob, there was no turning back. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">AMAZING songwriter</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song has a certain mystique and dark beauty that reels me into its world every time it comes on</span></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Rain Parade</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">This Can’t Be Today</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I first head this song on the way to a party, riding in the bed of a pick up truck after sneaking out of my mom’s house for the night in Florida</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I was 15 and I think I listened to it about 2,538 times that summer</span></b>. The whole album is a bit of a masterpiece to me. <br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois & Roger Eno</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">An Ending (Ascent)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">If I could re-arrange things, this would be the song I’d hear while being born</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Seems like Perfect Birth Music</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I’m sure I would have still cried, but I’d know somehow that everything will be okay</span></b>. <br />

WARMER MIXTAPES #1665 | by Jarvis Branson Cocker [<a href="https://jarviscocker.net/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Jarvis Cocker</a>] of <a href="https://www.discogs.com/JARV-IS-Must-I-Evolve/master/1562599" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">JARV IS...</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pulppeople/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Pulp</a></div>

<div style="color: #ff6600; text-align: center;">
It’s very difficult to choose my <b>10 Favourite Tracks of All Time</b> - so here is<br />
my <b>Top Ten of The Present Time (August 2019)</b>:</div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Bob Dylan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Isis </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I hadn’t really heard this song until I watched the <b>Rolling Thunder Revue</b> film that came out recently. He performs it incredibly, the song’s narrative is compelling & <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">his make-up is great</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Christophe</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Rock Monsieur</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The title is a bad joke (<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Croque Monsieur/Rock Monsieur</span></b>), but this is a seriously good song. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I have no idea what the lyrics mean, but that doesn’t matter really, does it?</span></b><br />
<br />

<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Judy Henske</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Let The Good Times Roll </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The first time I heard this I thought it was a man singing. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">She’s got an unique voice</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">There’s a desperation to the performance that moves me every time: she REALLY wants the good times to roll...</span></b><br />
<br />

<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Neil Young</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Rockin' In The Free World</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I saw <b>Neil Young</b> perform this song live recently. It went on for a very long time. The line about the kid who will never <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">get to be cool</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">brings a tear to my eye for some reason</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">George McCrae</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I Get Lifted </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This is a very sexy song. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s so slow yet Funky</span></b>. The only drawback is that it’s quite short - so you have to keep playing it over & over again.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Human League</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Love Action (I Believe In Love)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br /><b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Sheffield’s finest with one of the best songs about falling in Love ever</span></b>. Best line? <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I believe in Love though I lie a lot</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>.<br />

<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Tymes</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Are You Lookin'</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song goes on forever</span></b>. The lyric <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">We all live under the same cloud: if it rains on you, it rains on me...</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> is <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">an idea to live by</span></b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Man 2 Man Meets Man Parrish</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Male Stripper</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This is one of my favourites to dance to.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Laid Back</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Bakerman</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I think <b>Laid Back</b> were <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Scandinavian</span></b>. They also did a good song called <b>White Horse</b>. I don’t know why they wrote a song about baking, but it’s another one of my fave dance tracks.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Dead Fingers Talk</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Storm The Reality Studios</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Another good lyric: <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Some people want to fuck you up - some people they just want to fuck</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. This song was produced by <b>Mick Ronson</b> after he left<b> David Bowie</b>’s band.<br />

WARMER MIXTAPES #1664 | by William Charles Alexander Dorey [<a href="https://skinshape.bandcamp.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Skinshape</a>]</div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Don Isaac Ezekiel Combination</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Amalinja </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Akin to <b>Fela Kuti</b>, but this has <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">something somehow deeper</span></b> inside it. The groove on this one takes me beyond the realms of <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Reality</b></span> into <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The Metaphysical</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Exactly what Music is meant to do</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Nestor Hountondji Accompagné Par Les Volcans De Porto-Novo</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Emalon Ni Hokowo</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Super obscure Music from 1970s Benin, West Africa</span></b>. Only available to listen on <b>YouTube</b>... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Deep, rhythmic wonder</span></b>. I asked a friend who speaks the language and he says <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">the song talks of Death, and that after death the children must take care of the body of the deceased</span></b>. Wow!<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Willie Colón</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Eso Se Baila Asi </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Fania </b>is perhaps the most well-known of all Latin names. This incredible record is one of the heaviest <b>Boogaloo</b> cuts, with <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">such a stellar groove</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>The Walham Green East Wapping, Carpet Cleaning Rodent & Boggit Exterminating Association</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Sorry Mr. Green</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Obscure UK Psych from the 60s, scarce!</span></b> I first heard this track on an <b>Emidisc EMI</b> acetate I found at a car boot sale. Also chosen for the obscene artist name.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Teshome Meteku</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Gara Ser Naw Betesh </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">A personal favourite from East Africa, sweet Ethiopian soul, innocent and heart-warming</span></b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span> Orchestre African Fiesta, Dr. Nico</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Runeme Mama </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Incredible and off-radar <b>Latin</b> style from <b>Congo</b>, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The King Of The Guitar</span></b> (<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Dieu De La Guitare</b></span>), <b>Dr. Nico</b>!<br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Miguelito Valdes & Tito Puente's Orchestra</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Guantanamera<span style="color: black;"> (Traditional Cuban Song Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
One of the best voices I've ever heard in any track... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">And such a beautiful rhythm. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span> Joe Meek And The Blue Men</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I Hear A New World</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Selected for the pure ingenious of this song. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">All these mad tricks and messing with recorded sound... In 1960!</span></b> Wow.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Rajat Nandy</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Dude</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Heard first on YouTube, <b>Electric Hawaiian Guitar</b> - this is the name of the EP from <b>India</b>, 1969. The first track though, is something else! Never heard anything like it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Funkadelic</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Can You Get To That </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
No words needed... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Found this record in a collection I bought from an elderly Ghanaian gentleman in London a few years ago</span></b>... This song has such good vibes.<br />

<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Jungle Brothers</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Straight Out The Jungle </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
One of the first <b>Hip Hop</b> albums I ever owned was by the<b> Jungle Brothers</b>, so it’s been amazing to me that I’ve got to work with them so much over my career. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song sums them up for me</span></b>.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">OutKast </span>| <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Wheelz Of Steel</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">OutKast are geniuses</span></b>, but this is their best period for me personally. I love that they have a song shouting out the DJ, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">that’s the essence of Hip Hop</span></b>, and it’s forgotten about too much. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<b><br />
</b> <b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Gap Band</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Yearning For Your Love</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
I love listening to <b>Soul</b>, and I got turned on to it by Hip Hop samples.<b> Nas</b> famously sampled this one. I’d just as happily play this at a club as play it in my own kitchen, which you can’t say for many songs. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<b><br />
</b> <b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Arlo Guthrie</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Alice's Restaurant Massacree</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
This is a difficult song to describe. It’s over 18 minutes long and it’s a rambling story. I just really recommend that if you’ve ever got that time spare on a journey or something, you check it out. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<b><br />
</b> <b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Robert Johnson</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Ramblin’ On My Mind</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></div>

I listen to a lot of very old <b>Blues</b> and <b>Country,</b> because it has a lot of character in it. I was turned on to this by <b>Mixmaster Mike </b>scratching the record in the <b>Scratch</b> documentary - <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love the idea of using this kind of Music for Turntablism</span></b>.</div>

<span style="background-color: yellow;">DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. (The Mummy, 1999)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I'M FAR FROM DONE. BUT, YASS, I DIED. I DIED A LOT IN THE PAST DECADE.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I DIED WHEN I LOST FRIENDS BECAUSE I'M GAY. I DIED WHEN I GOT REJECTED BECAUSE I'M NOT FANCY AND RICH ENOUGH. I DIED WHEN DEREK FROM ONE LITTLE INDIAN AVOIDED TO LINK MY INVITATION TO BJÖRK AFTER BEGGING HIM FOR YEARS TO MAKE THE CONNECTION AND TELL HER WHAT HER PRESENCE ON THIS PROJECT WOULD MEAN TO ME... INSTEAD LOTS OF DAZED, PITCHFORK, AND THE GUARDIAN REPETITIVE (TRUSTED?) APPEARANCES (while he linked me to old top 10s she did)... AND WITH THIS EXAMPLE... EVERYBODY ELSE NOT BELIEVING IN THE CORE OF THIS GESTURE, IN THE REASONS BEHIND MY EFFORTS... PRETENDING TO BE NOBLE, BUT ACTUALLY SUPER SHITTY IN PERSON.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">Warmer Climes TURNED 10 ON AUGUST 9, 2019.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I WANT TO LOOK MORE TO THE BRIGHT SIDE. I WANT TO TRY AGAIN AND MAKE IT LOUDER. EVEN IF IT LEAVES ME IN TEARS AND IT'S SO DAMN HARD AND I'M NOT TAKING ANY DRUGS TO KEEP ME FROZEN...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">IT WAS MEANT TO BE A SEMI-FAILURE FROM THE START, BECAUSE I RARELY COMPROMISED. ALL I WANTED WAS THE MUSICIANS! NAKED ON A SOUL LEVEL. WITH THEIR FULL NAMES, THEIR UNCOVERED FACES, THEIR DEEP HURTFUL / OR EXTREMELY HAPPY PERSONAL STORIES OF LIFE! REAL LIFE! RAW, UNEDITED LIFE!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">IT WAS HARD AND STILL IS A MESS TO TRY AND REACH THEM AT THEIR ROOTS AND THEIR LOWEST LOWS OR HIGHEST HIGHS...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">BUT FACK IT! I WON'T STOP!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I LOVE MY ARTWORKS WITH SONG LYRICS! I LOVE MY CHILD-LIKE NAIVETY IN HOW TRANSPARENT I WANT ALL THESE MUSICIANS TO BECOME FOR THIS BLOG SERIAL...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">BUT LOOKING BACK!!!!!!!???????? EXACTLY 1662 MIXTAPES AND COUNTING????????? THAT'S NOT BAD AT ALL IN MY BOOK!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I WANT TO THANK YOU! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">FOR DONATING FOR MY CAUSE (ESPECIALLY Control Club THAT PRACTICALLY BOUGHT MY NEW EPIC COMPUTER IN 2016! AND EVERYBODY ELSE WESTERN UNIONING ME WITH THEIR LOVE THOSE FEW TIMES THAT COUNTED AS THE BIGGEST LOVE I NEVER HAD...), FOR SHARING MY FEATURES AND GOOD WORDS ABOUT THIS WORK... TO THE PR AGENTS THAT NEVER SAID NO TO ME AND TO THE ARTISTS WHO SAW THE SPARKS IN TAKING TIME TO WRITE FOR THIS VISION!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">IT WAS AND STILL FEELS LIKE THE GREATEST JOURNEY I'LL EVER BE ABLE TO CREATE AND EDIT THROUGH THIS BODY AND SOUL AND WITH MY LIFE!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">THANK YOU TO ALL FOR STILL BEING STRANGELY BY MY SIDE, EVEN IF I'M LONELIER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">IT'S A MESSY PLANET THESE DAYS FOR ALL... IT'S A PAIN IN THE AZZ TO NOT COMPLAIN AND NOT WHINE... WHEN ALL AROUND WE LIVE WHAT WE LIVE... YEAH, YOU EVENTUALLY MAKE LOADS OF MUCH MORE MONEY THAN ME IN WESTERN WORLDS, BUT WE'RE BREATHING THE SAME STINKY OXYGEN OF DEATH AND HATRED... DOH!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">THIS BLOG IS A GIFT! FROM YOU TO ME.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I GOT LOST IN A DAILY JOB THAT REDUCED IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THE BLOG WORK TO ALMOST 20%...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I ALSO GOT IRREVERSIBLY LOST IN MY GRUDGES WITH UNFAIRLY SPOILED RICH KIDS AND THEIR ACCESS TO LIFE... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I GOT HURT BY SEEING LOCAL GAYS ACTING LIKE HOMOPHOBES ONLINE AND IN REAL LIFE... "I'M THE ONLY GAY IN THE VILLAGE", Little Britain style... THIS SEPARATISM OF THEM IS KILLING ME THE MOST! IF YOU'RE NOT TOO THIN AND TOO WELL-DRESSED AND RICH ENOUGH: YOU'RE A ZERO... ZERO MY AZZ!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I ALSO GOT ETERNALLY IRREVERSIBLY BROKEN BY HOMOPHOBIC WOMEN AND THE WAYS THEY USE TO HURT #LGBTQIAplus BY BEING PART OF MOVEMENTS LIKE #METOO OR BY SIMPLY WRONGLY-EDUCATING THEIR KIDS AND THEIR HUSBANDS INTO BEING HATEFUL HOMOPHOBIC PIGS.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I GOT IRREVERSIBLY STUCK AT LOSING OLD FRIENDSHIPS AND MY BETRAYING "FRIENDS" IN THE BUCHAREST CAPITAL OF THIS SHITHOLE... STILL OBSESSING... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">ALL THIS POISON... FOR SIMPLY BEING DIFFERENT AND ESPECIALLY FOR CONSTANTLY SPEAKING MY TRUTH.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">NOBODY WANTS SOMEONE SCREAMING THEIR DEFECTS IN FRONT OF THEM...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">DESPITE THE ANGRY MOMENTS AND THE WALLS OF IGNORANT HOMOPHOBIA AND THE IMMENSE TOWERS OF HYPOCRISY... I WANTED TO GET TO KNOW MUSICIANS BETTER AND, EVEN WITH ALL THESE BAD VIBES, I RECEIVED SUCH WELL TEXTURED CONSTELLATIONS OF EMPATHY BACK...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">MAYBE THAT'S THE SOURCE IN THE CHANGE OF MY THINKING. I NEED TO LIBERATE MYSELF FROM OLD GHOSTS, ACCEPTING THAT I CAN'T RESOLVE BROKEN SHITHEADS BY REPEATING MY TRUTH TO THEM...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I FEED WITH EVERY EPISODE OF THIS BLOG.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">IT'S A JOURNAL. A JOURNEY OF BETTERING OURSELVES. A REMINDER TO BE ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH AND THE SOUND AND THE FEELING. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">I PRESENT THE BLOG AS A MUSIC / PRO-GAY BLOG NOW. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;">SO IT'S NOT JUST MUSIC NOW. IT'S STRIDENTLY AND DEEPLY PRO-LGBTQIA+!!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">THANK YOU FOR BEING HUMAN TO ME, TO THE WORLD AND TO YOUR SWEET SELVES!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">LEAVE THE MASKS BEHIND AND COME WITH ME!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">MAYBE IN 10 YEARS I'LL FEEL IN THE MOOD TO WRITE THAT I'M HAPPY AND AT A FINAL MOMENT WITH THIS BLOG.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">MAYBE IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS I'LL FIND Warmer Climes! STILL SEARCHING... STILL LEARNING A LOT ABOUT YOU AND MYSELF...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">STOP THE HATE AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">BRIGHTER YEARS TO MYSELF AND TO ALL OF YOU KIND SOULS!!!!!!! </span><br />

There is an eerie and dark vibe about this song that makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s one of the best songs I have ever heard and I keep coming back to it</span></b>.<br />
<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song makes me feel like I’m in love in the summer and everything is mysterious and beautiful and glimmering</span></b>. Amazingly beautiful song by a very underrated Swedish band. I even got this song title tattooed on my arm when I was like 20 'cause I love it so much.<br />

My younger brother got me into this song like 10 years ago. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This is The Best damn Car Ride song in the History of Rap Music</span></b>. I don’t even have a driver's license, but if I’m in a car I’ll bump this song first chance I get. I got this song title tattooed as well, haha.<br />

A true masterpiece. I listen to this at night before <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I go to bed and it makes me feel calm, zen and like I’m staring up at all the stars from a forest bed</span></b>. I love that it’s only 2 minutes which makes me want to repeat it like 20 times in a row.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The ending of this song is the best ending of a song ever</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It makes me feel like you can do whatever you want, no rules, just Personality and Emotion</span></b>.<br />

<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Black Dog</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Chesh</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The most important song ever for Night Gestalt</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I remember being a kid in the 90's and listening to this in my bed in my dark room</span></b>. When I started Night Gestalt it was that feeling I was trying to get back to: <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">myself as a teenager listening to The Black Dog</span></b>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Aphex Twin</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Alberto Balsalm</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I could pick almost any <b>Aphex Twin</b> song from this era, but right now I wanted to pick this! Just a classic.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Ian William Craig</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Discovered In Flat</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">New Ambient</span></b> this time, but an instant classic. The whole album is just amazing.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Tim Hecker</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Song Of The Highwire Shrimper</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Another classic Ambient piece. I remember listening to this over and over again when it was released and I was travelling around <b>South East Asia</b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Now when I hear it I can still see the lights from The Sun dance in the waves</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">John Cage</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">In A Landscape <span style="color: black;">(Performed by Stephen Drury)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Enough with <b>Electronic</b> stuff! This is a piano piece by <b>John Cage</b> and it has been very important for me when I write my <i><b><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Classical Music</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></i> - in all it's simplicity. It's <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">transparent</span></b>. <br />

<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Mr. Fingers</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Can You Feel It</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The best Techno song ever made</span></b>. And probably the most influential too. Every time I listen to it my mind is blown how simple, but effective it is. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">And beautiful like shining steel</span></b>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Tim Buckley</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Song To The Siren</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love 60's Music</span></b>, so I had to include something at least. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Tim Buckley's voice is like sent from beyond Reality</span></b>, and this is one of his most beautiful songs.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Arvo Pärt</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">The Beatitudes <span style="color: black;">(Performed by Elora Festival Singers and Orchestra; Conductor: Noel Edison)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I listen almost only to <b>Classical Music</b> right now - and have been for a few years - and this one is a piece I always keep coming back to.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Tudo Que Você Podia Ser</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I'm crazy about <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Brazilian Tropicália Music</b></span> and this song is probably my all time favorite. This is what I'm listening to when I'm driving. <br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Fela Ransome Kuti & Africa 70 </span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Expensive Shit</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I could have picked any song from <b>Fela Kuti </b>- everything he did was amazing. For years I listened almost only to Fela Kuti and similar <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Nigerian</span></b> and <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>West African Music</b></span> from that time, trying to understand why it was <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">so Funky</span></b>. I don't think I ever understood to be honest. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's like Magic, like all Good Music is</span></b>. You just can't understand with your rational mind, you just have to listen and be swept away.<br />

WARMER MIXTAPES #1660 | by Valerie Trebeljahr of <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/328285-John-Yoko" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">John Yoko</a> & <a href="http://lalipuna.bandcamp.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Lali Puna</a></div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Aphex Twin</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Heliosphan</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I could listen to this song forever and ever. <b>Selected Ambient Works 85-92</b> is the record I discovered <b>Aphex Twin</b> with and it's still the one I love to the most. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">So much weightless beauty</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Beyoncé</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Sorry <span style="color: black;">(Homecoming: The Live Album)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's not very witty to be in love with Beyoncé these days</span></b>. But you simply have to: <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Musically and politically, she expresses it all</span></b>. If you haven't seen <b>Homecoming</b>, you definitely should, it's <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">overwhelming</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Nina Simone</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free <span style="color: black;">(Billy Taylor's 'I Wish I Knew' Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I discovered <b>Nina Simone</b> when I was 15. I spent my days with <b>Madonna</b> and <b>Pet Shop Boys</b> before and Nina had a really strange voice for me at that time. Today I know: <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Simply everything is lying in this voice</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Dixie Cups</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>People Say</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I have a faible for girl bands from the sixties. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Yes, they tend to sing a lot about the boys and unhappy love</span></b>. And maybe they were casted by a mercenary label guy. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But I love the concept of girl bands</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Joe Goddard</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Taking Over</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This track has something I wished I would be able to do</span></b>: <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">A song that is so light, that combines a far-away-dancefloor-feeling and a voice that touches you because it is so vulnerable</span></b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Isan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Damil 85</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
My later label boss came up with this seven-inch. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It was the first time I heard from Isan and I really fell in love with this song</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Later on we became labelmates and met and it really backed my theory that people who do nice music are nice persons</span></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Cat Power</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Good Woman <span style="color: black;">(with Eddie Vedder)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The older I get the more I think: <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's all about the voice</span></b>. Well, of course not all... Well, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Chan Marshall could read out email adresses or mobile numbers, they would sound soft and sad and they would tell a story</span></b>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Roxy Music</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>More Than This</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I think one good thing about <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">streaming Music</span></b> is that nobody will get to you and say: <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">What you hear is totally uncool. I own a lot of records and so I know a lot about everything and tell you about it</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. In my post-teenage-peergroup bands like <b>Roxy Music</b> were pretty uncool. I am very happy I aged. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Broadcast</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Sixty Forty <span style="color: black;">(Nico Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I only recently found out about this song, a <b>Nico</b> cover version. It's quite hidden on a <b>Warp</b> compilation. I really miss <b>Trish Keenan</b> a lot.<br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ekkehard Ehlers</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Plays John Cassavetes <span style="color: black;">(Untitled Track 2)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
It's 9.57 long. One sample. <b>The Beatles</b>: <b>Good Night</b>. It's great.<br />

WARMER MIXTAPES #1659 | by Andrew Bernstein [<a href="https://abdominal.bandcamp.com/" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Abdominal</a>] of <a href="https://abdominal.bandcamp.com/album/sitting-music" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Abdominal And The Obliques</a> and <a href="https://abdominal.bandcamp.com/album/still-hungry" style="color: #33cc00; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">DJ Format & Abdominal</a></div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Run-DMC</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Peter Piper</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </b><br />
I have to credit <b>Run-DMC</b>'s 1986 album <b>Raising Hell</b>, and particularly this song, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">for getting me into Hip Hop in the first place</span></b>, so it seems fitting to feature it as the lead-off tune for my imaginary mixtape.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Homeboy Sandman & Edan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Grim Seasons</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b> <br />
<b>Wish Edan</b> was rapping more on this EP, but still pretty epic nonetheless (dope production & <b>Homeboy Sandman</b> more than holds his own on the mic). Loving the '<i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">four seasons</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>' concept of this tune, and bonus points for the incredible accompanying animated video created by my homie<b> Kagan McLeod</b> (who also did the cover artwork for my & <b>DJ Format</b>'s 2017 album <b>Still Hungry</b>).<br />

<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Mo Kolours</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Little Brown Dog</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Heard this on the<b> Bandcamp</b> weekly podcast a few months ago, and have been playing it regularly since. I have a little brown dog myself (in fact, his name is <b>Kajuq</b>, which means <i><b><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Brown</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b></i> in Inuktitut... He's from <b>Iqaluit</b> in <b>Canada</b>'s arctic), so it always reminds me of him when I hear it.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>This Is The Kit</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Moonshine Freeze</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b> <br />
Think I also first heard this one on <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Bandcamp</span></b> (<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">discover a lot of my new music this way</span></b>), and promptly bought the album. Love the whole album, but this track remains my favourite... <b>Chill</b>/<b>Funky</b> vibe, sick harmonies, great lyrics... Got it all really!<br />
<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This track pretty much sums up how I like my Hip Hop</span></b>... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Off-kilter, not so polished, with some complex-but-not-in-a-nerdy-way lyrics</span></b>. Plus, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">MF Doom can basically do no wrong in my eyes</span></b>. <br />

Speaking of incredible lyrics, can't forget to include some<b> Leonard Cohen</b> in this list. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This tune in particular has brought me a lot of comfort during trying times over the years</span></b>. <br />

A few years ago a promoter in my hometown of <b>Toronto</b> put together a<b> Tom Waits</b> tribute night, where a lineup of local musicians each performed two covers of Tom Waits material. My band and I, <b>Abdominal And</b> <b>The Obliques</b>, picked this as one of our two selections. I had so much fun singing it, that we've kept it as part of our repertoire ever since. Hard to match the sheer rawness of Waits' delivery, but I try my best!<br />

Realizing I should include a few more women on this list, as well as maybe a bit more <b>Rock And Roll</b>. But don't get it twisted, this track is far from just a token pick, as its badass guitar riff from <b>Nancy Wilson</b> and soaring vocal lines from sister <b>Ann Wilson</b> get me fired up every time!<br />
<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Sticking with the badass women theme to close out my list, gotta end with the unfuckwithable energy and presence of the legendary Big Mama Thornton</span></b>. Sorry, <b>Elvis</b> who??<br />

<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Broadcast</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Tears In The Typing Pool</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
We all have one of those friends who helps mold our musical taste, whether they’re sending you their favorite <b>Contemporary</b> song as soon as it comes out, or digging through the crates and discovering some long lost recording. Well, <b>Greg Dillon</b> is that guy for me. He showed me this song a few months ago. I’d heard of <b>Broadcast</b>, but had never explored much of their <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Music</span></b>. This song is so beautifully haunting, the <b>Lo-Fi</b> production, the ghostly mellotron, the slap-back on the vocals, the quaint <b>Acoustic</b> guitars. This song is a must-listen for anyone looking for a new haunting<b> Folk</b> classic. <br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Vashti Bunyan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I’d Like To Walk Around In Your Mind</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s a special thing when you can connect with a romantic partner through Music</span></b>. I’m really lucky that my girlfriend has amazing taste. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">When we were first dating especially, we really built our friendship on sharing Music with each other</span></b>.<b> I’d Like To Walk Around In Your Mind</b> was one of the first ones she sent me that I’d never heard and really fell in <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Love</span></b> with. It’s so calming, sweet and delicate, with her whispered vocals and the gentle string section. <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I'd like to run and jump on your solitude, I'd like to rearrange your latitude to me</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>, she sings. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song is destined to be in a Wes Anderson movie, if it isn’t already</span></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Otis Redding</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I’ve Got Dreams To Remember </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
A couple of years ago I ordered some <b><i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><b>Best Of</b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i></b> CD’s to listen to in the car. This song is track 16 on that particular compilation. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s such a good feeling to fall in Love with a fresh song from a voice as familiar as Otis Redding’s</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This is one of my favorite vocal performances of all time, and you bet I roll the windows down for The World to hear when I’m driving around with this one</span></b>. <br />

<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Neil Young</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Razor Love</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I’m a huge <b>Neil</b> fan, especially his first 4 or 5 records. It struck me one day to check out some of his more recent <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Music</span></b>, so I stumbled across <b>Silver & Gold</b> released in 2000, and was so pleased to discover this song, <b>Razor Love</b>, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">perhaps my favorite Love song that he’s written</span></b>. The lyrics just kill me – “<i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Now all I've got for you is the kind of love that cuts clean through, all I got for you is razor love, it cuts clean through</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>”. It has everything you want in an <b>Acoustic Down-Tempo</b> Neil track... Simple production, that vulnerable croon, dreamy guitars and, of course, a harmonica solo. This is an overlooked Neil track. <br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Wilco</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I Am Trying To Break Your Heart</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
My cousin <b>Caleb</b> may be the biggest fan of <b>Jeff Tweedy</b> (<b>Wilco</b>) in <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The World</span></b>. At 15 I had to see what the fuss was all about, so I went to the local CD store outside of <b>Boston</b> called <b>Strawberries</b> and picked up <b>Yankee Hotel Foxtrot</b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Went back to my grandma’s house, sat down on a rocking chair on the screened-in porch and pressed play</span></b>. This is the first song on that iconic <b>Modern Rock</b> record. The song begins, <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I am an American aquarium drinker, I assassin down the avenue</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Well, I was hooked; I listened to the whole CD twice in a row, until dinner was ready</span></b>. <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>There is so much Experimentation, Improvisation, and a beautifully fine line drawn between Noise and Music on this song</b></span>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It feels more like your jumping into a novel than into a record, if that makes any sense</span></b>. <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Tweedy is one of my favorite lyricists after Dylan</b></span>. <br />
<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Idle Race</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Morning Sunshine</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I discovered this track on <b>Michael Rault</b>’s collaborative playlist he made on <b>Spotify</b>. What can I say? <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s one of those tracks that teleports you into the late 60’s as if you’re hearing English Psych Rock for the first time</span></b>. It’s so subdued and the production is so dark, it almost sound like a demo, in the best possible way. <br />

<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Nick Drake</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Place To Be</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I think I can safely say that Nick Drake’s Pink Moon is my favorite record ever, and that Nick might be the most underrated songwriter of all time</span></b>. <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Pink Moon is timeless, and paved the way for True Intimacy in Music, against the odds of an era that was focused on a “<i>More Is More</i>” attitude</b></span>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">To think that this Music went practically unseen at the time is tragic, but then to see the deluge of support Nick has seen since his death defines the true beauty and purpose of Music: to create something that can live on, and the hope that the Art you create when you’re feeling weak is stronger than you ever could have imagined</span></b>. <b>Place To Be</b> is my favorite song on the record, seemingly simple but near impossible to re-create. It also has my favorite lyric of all time, <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Now I’m weaker than the palest blue, oh, so weak in this need for you</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">RIP Nick</span></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">George Harrison</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Run Of The Mill</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (from Early Takes Volume 1)</b><br />
This is not only one of my favorite songs, but this Acoustic demo version is so intimate… To hear any of <b>The Beatles</b>’ <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Music</span></b> in such a raw and personal way is stunning. This song gives a bit of an insight into the crumbling dynamics of the band through <b>Harrison</b>’s eyes. It’s so sad and eye opening to hear that in the lyrics of this song. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">He sings with such confidence and simultaneous vulnerability, a juxtaposition that he is a true master of</span></b>. <br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Miles Davis Quintet</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">It Never Entered My Mind <span style="color: black;">(Shirley Ross Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This one begins with <b>Red Garland</b> on the piano, playing an arpeggio that you feel like you’ve heard before, but the song strays away from your expectations, especially with <b>Miles</b> on the muted trumpet. This song has everything I look for in a <b>Jazz</b> ballad, so much character in each instrument, so much <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Restraint</span></b> and feel that you sit there and just go, <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I’m not worthy</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. My buddy <b>Brendan Lynch-Salamon</b> showed me this one on a trip we took up to a little mountain town for a quick getaway. <br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Cornershop</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix Radio Edit)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Here’s a curveball for you! <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Sometimes a song just makes you feel like a kid again</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">When I was growing up I lived in London, and I used to sit in the back of the school bus and listen to the radio, and just wait for this song to come on</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Man, did they love playing Fatboy Slim on the radio back then</span></b>. This is of course a remix of the <b>Cornershop</b> track. It’s just so hard not to bob your head and sing along to this one. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">When I listen to this song, I’m sitting in the window seat of the bus, with my backpack on my lap, driving down King’s Road, riding slowly into my teenage years</span></b>. <br />

<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Pet Shop Boys</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Love Comes Quickly</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I love <b>Pet Shop Boys</b>. Was hard to choose which song to put on the list, I've been listening to this one a lot lately. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">My dad always listened to them when I was growing up</span></b>. One of the many songs of theirs that stuck with me. I love their lyrics and unique sound. <br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Human League</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Love Action (I Believe In Love)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Great song, especially <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Production</span></b>-wise this song inspires me. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love all the sounds</span></b>. Still want to make a song using that kind of rhythmic filter on the guitar at the beginning. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The instruments, how they're processed and go together is so unique and creative to me</span></b>. Also the synth lead melody is awesome.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Sinéad O'Connor</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Nothing Compares 2 U</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (The Family Cover)</b><br />
Written by <b>Prince</b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song is very emotionally powerful to me</span></b>. It has such a special vibe. It feels heavenly. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Love the subtleties like the chord change in the 2nd chorus</span></b>. One of my favorites. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Prince And The Revolution</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I Would Die 4 U (Purple Rain Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The energy in this song is so awesome. There is a really cool 30 minute version of this where <b>Prince</b> and the band jam on it with added horns, percussion, and guitar. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song and Prince in general always inspires me to push myself creatively and honestly</span></b>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Smiths</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">The Headmaster Ritual</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This one is becoming one of my all time faves I've loved for years. I discovered it through <b>Radiohead</b>'s amazing cover on their live stream back when they released <b>In Rainbows</b>. (Another one of my absolute favorite bands and albums). Learned this on guitar a couple days ago, gave me even more appreciation for<b> Johnny Mars</b>'<b> </b>playing and writing. <br />

<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">ABBA</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Lay All Your Love On Me</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>ABBA</b> has always been one of my favorite bands. Some of the greatest <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Pop Music</span></b>, and production. Huge choruses, amazing sounds, great grooves. If you get too stoned, just put some ABBA on. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's such satisfying Music to listen to and enjoy</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Talk Talk</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>It's My Life <span style="color: black;">(Live at Montreux 1986)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This performance on <b>YouTube</b> is so great. Love the acoustic guitars/synths/percussions... It's a great blend. And <b>Mark Hollis</b> is such a fantastic vocalist... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">RIP</span></b>. There is a really cool moment in this <b>Live</b> version where it breaks down to just percussion and drums, and the rhythmic synth chords start to fade in. Watching this makes me want to get back on the road with the band.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Carpenters</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Only Yesterday</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Karen Carpenter has one of my favorite voices in Music</span></b>. It's so soothing and pleasant. I really enjoy their songwriting. Very satisfying to listen to. <br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Clash</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>The Magnificent Dance <span style="color: black;">(Dance Remix of 'The Magnificent Seven')</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This is my kind of <b>Funk Music</b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Raw, and creative</span></b>. Amazing production. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">William Onyeabor</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Body And Soul</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I discovered<b> William Onyeabor</b> last year and became obsessed. The grooves are so awesome and raw. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">My ideal studio would have all the gear used to make his Music</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It's dirty, and full of Character</span></b>. The documentary about him is worth a watch too, a very mysterious guy.<br />

<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Richard Burton</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">The Little Prince</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (Narration) </b><br />
One of the underlying currents throughout my musical life has been the children's albums my mother would play to me as a very small child. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">They informed my world view before I was old enough to see out the window myself</span></b>. The story of <b>The Little Prince</b> was like listening to my own autobiography long before I could write.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ramesh Mishra, Polash Gomes</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Raga Todi</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
From <b>Reminiscence</b> album... A student of <b>Ravi Shankar</b>, his sarangi playing is the closest to my heart of any instrument besides the bowed saw. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">To me, the North Indian sarangi is what I hear in my head when all other Music fades</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Mississippi John Hurt</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Pay Day</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Today!</b> album... A soft spoken <b>Delta Blues</b> man who had such a subtle approach to <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Inflection</span></b> and <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Word Play</span></b> that even today when I play this record I tell anyone else in the room to either <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">shut the fuck up or leave</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>. It's that sacred of a listening moment to me.<br />

<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Modest Mussorgsky</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Night On Bald Mountain <span style="color: black;">(Performed by State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Russian Federation; Conductor: Evgeny Svetlanov)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">My mother, whose family comes from the Carpathian Mountains near old Transylvania, would often play this music and tell me stories of witches and otherworldly beings when I was young</span></b>. I grew up to love both this spooky melodramatic style of <b>Classical Music</b> and witches. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">To this day it is my favorite Classical piece</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Chameleons</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Second Skin </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Script Of The Bridge</b> album... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">All my teenage angst and distrust of Society seemed to be already spoken for when I first heard this LP</span></b>. I was astonished to find something so compelling and articulate on vinyl at a time when most <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Outsider</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> Music was either to literary or too compelled by hormones. I always thought if I could be in one band it would be this one. Years later I would come to know the group and its singer <b>Mark</b>, though sadly I've never received the invitation to join, ha!<br />
<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Antonín Dvořák</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">The Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World", Op. 95, B. 178 <span style="color: black;">(Performed by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; Conductor: Paavo Järvi)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Growing up the Catskill Mountains, this piece of Music often symbolized the discovery of my part of the world many hundreds of years ago</span></b>. I can still lean on this when I grow homesick on the road.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Lady In Satin... If ever there is an LP and songs that know every crevice in my emotional character, it is this album</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Her voice, the songs and their arrangements are unrivaled in the 20th Century</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Mark Lester, Ron Moody, Shani Wallis, Sheila White, Jack Wild & Boys</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I'd Do Anything</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (Oliver! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) </b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This movie, much like The Little Prince in Literature, seemed to encapsulate so much Emotional Information from my early lives that, even to this day, I cry when watching it. I know its songs by heart, or should I say its songs know me by heart</span></b>... <br />

<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ludwig van Beethoven</span> | <span style="color: #33ccff;">String Quartet No. 12 in E♭ major, Op. 127 <span style="color: black;">(Performed by Talich Quartet)</span></span></b><br />
All of the <b>Late String Quartets</b>!... <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">For many years I awoke to these pieces of Music every morning</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">These quartets do something only two or three others have ever done in the entire History of Written Music</span></b>. The <b>Late String Quartets</b> <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">SQUARE THE CIRCLE</span></b>. And while I won't go into what this means, for those who understand the import of this phrase... They will understand its profoundness.<br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: lime;">Silence</span> | No Man-Made Sound</b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">As in no sounds but my own beating heart, the buzzing of my ears and the bubbling of my stream</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Greater than all the above, The Quiet of being in Nature is paramount to any Human attempt to mimic it</span></b>. This <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Silence</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i> is most elusive and fleeting, but in those rarefied moments when encountered my world... Ultimately it's so much better for it.<br />

<div style="color: #ff6600; text-align: center;">
10 songs I love.<br />
These are the first 10 songs that came to my mind.<br />
Old and new.<br />
Songs that help me reflect back to what I used to love in <b>Music</b> and how my taste transformed during the years.<br />
<b>Music is in our Human Nature</b>.<br />
It connects us to deeper parts of ourselves.<br />
Simply being surrounded by Music, listening to it changes your mood, your day, your life.<br />
It can inspire <b>Generosity</b>, <b>Kindness</b>, <b>Understanding</b>.<br />
It can empower you, make you feel less alone...<br />
It makes you move, it helps you when you’re hurt, it energizes you when you’re happy.</div>
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Lauryn Hill</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Everything Is Everything </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Favorite 90’s song</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love how the lyrics are still relevant today</span></b>. I’ve liked this song because it was catchy, but listening more and more to the words, I totally understand how powerful this song is.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">FourFiveSeconds</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Never expected this group of people to release a song together</span></b>. I’m happy they did it. I’ve been listening to it since it came out and still have it in my playlist. Perfect combo!<br />
<br />

Comes Around</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I was and still am a big fan of <b>Justin Timberlake</b>. He’s very talented, creative, always coming up with <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">something new, different</span></b>. Either very sensitive, or very powerful, catchy, dancey. This song and video were something else for that time. I first saw it on <b>MTV</b> in High School. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It was a very important moment for me because I realized that Music can have all these amazing parts that help the story: video, meaning, beauty, dance</span></b>...<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">My female version of Eminem</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Early 2000 crush</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I wanted to be just like her</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">She was the picture of Cool, Fun, Sexy and Strong</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">She still is my all time favorite artist</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I truly admire and respect her</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">P!nk is a super artist!</span></b><br />

Even if you don’t know Spanish, listen to it. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">You simply feel this song</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s addictive and beautiful, it touches your soul, it clears your mind, makes you dream, have Faith, never lose Hope, makes you embrace Life, Love</span></b>.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I really like this girl</span></b>. I recently started listening to her and I think this is my favorite song. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Pop in a very fresh way</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The lyrics are kind of dark. It’s about feeling guilty after you do things on the spur, sponstaneously and then you're left with the decision you made and you have a bellyache</span></b>.<br />

I have been listening to her songs for some time now and this feat. with <b>Calvin Harris</b> is <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Perfection</span></b>. I had it on repeat for a week straight.<br />

This was the first <b>Hip Hop</b> song I learnt all the words to, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I literally used to rap the whole song to other kids at school when I was 14 and I got my first proper girlfriend out of it (I was that cool)</span></b>.<br />

<b>Dilated...</b> were absolutely massive for me when I was a kid. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I used to skate and I'd take the Dilated Peoples album Platform to the skate park - they'd put it on and I was literally having the best time of my life</span></b>.<br />

<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Eminem</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Drug Ballad <span style="color: black;">(feat. Dina Rae)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Just such an amazing visual from the raps in this song, my fave <b>Eminem</b> track.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Edan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Mic Manipulator</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
First <b>Edan</b> track I ever heard - <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">trippy Hip Hop with incredible lyricism</span></b>, heard it on a <b>Yoda</b> mixtape arund 2004. Edan's been my fave ever since (not that he's ever put much out!).<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Jurrasic 5</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">What's Golden</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
You just can't not nod your head to this track. Sample is the nuts too! <b>J5</b> are my fave crew.<br />

<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Zero 7</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Somersault <span style="color: black;">(feat. Sia)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I love Hip Hop, but over 50% of my listening time has probably been to<b> Trip Hop</b>. <b>Bonobo</b>, <b>RJD2</b>, <b>Nightmres On Wax</b> - but this<b> Zero 7</b> song strikes a chord, the strings are powerful and full of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Emotion</span></b>. Love it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Dizraeli</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Bomb Tesco</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
A witty and funny track, my fave off <b>Dizraeli</b>'s solo album I think. But it's more the significance of this album why this is in my top 10 - <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">it made me start writing again, it was around 2009, I'd kinda lost interest in UK Hip Hop and stopped writing, but this album got my creative juices flowing again and I've ended up progressing far beyond what I ever thought I could as a lyricist</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Rick James</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Give It To Me Baby</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I'm no chauvinist, but I just absolutely love this track, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Funky</span></b> as hell.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Commodores</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Brick House</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />

<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Wu-Tang Clan</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Method Man</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I was obsessed with <b>Wu-Tang</b> as a kid, went to get a <b>Wu</b> bat tattooed on my arm aged 16 (luckily got ID'd and didn't do it). <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Meth has one of the best voices, delivery and flows in Hip Hop and it'd be a crime to not have a mention here!</span></b><br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="color: red;">SIDE B</span></span> | by <span style="color: #ffcc33;">Leon Smith</span></span><br />
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">DJ Format</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Vicious Battle Raps <span style="color: black;">(feat. Abdominal)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This came on <b>MTV</b> at a mate's house about 2004 and I was like <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">what the f*ck is this</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>!! The beats so sick and I was instantly hooked on <b>Abdominal</b>’s rhythm and flow and have been since – <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">real inspiring, positive rapper</span></b>. So lucky I got to work with him on our last record.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Eminem</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Infinite</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Early Eminem is one of the main reasons I started rapping and this track is a lesson in Multi-Syllable Rhyming and matching the beat perfectly with his flow</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Still the pinnacle of Rhyming for me</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Notorious B.I.G.</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Notorious Thugs <span style="color: black;">(feat. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Biggie</b>’s deffo in my top 5 rappers, but he’s not known for his double time. He absolutely nails it in this track alongside <b>Bone Thugs-N-Harmony</b>. I transcribed the whole song to learn the lyrics and master that double time 'n' rhythm 'n' show off to my mates.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">DJ Kool</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Let Me Clear My Throat<span style="color: black;"> (Live at Bahama Bay Club, Philadelphia)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love it when you can feel the energy in The Music, but it can sometimes get lost through the recording process</span></b>. This track was recorded live in <b>Philly</b> and the vibe and energy of that room comes through on the track like I've never heard on any other.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Method Man & Redman</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Da Rockwilder</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I love the way Meth starts his verse before the beat drops and Red & Meth work off each so well.</span></b><br />
<img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JjOtR1DsHAE/XF8o6Majy8I/AAAAAAAAh1k/HiAMcuJm49QsL8cc8RehTTXrFUWVT-cFQCLcBGAs/s1600/TOOMANYTS3x.png" /><br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Busta Rhymes</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Gimme Some More</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Samples <b>Alfred Hitchcock</b>'s <b>Psycho</b> theme-tune all the way through… <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Normally samples get chopped and changed, but this just stays consistent the whole through and just works</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Then Busta’s flow and rhyming on this track is on another level</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Michael Jackson</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Billie Jean</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> (Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever Live Performance)</b><br />
<b>Performance.com</b>! <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">To this day I haven’t seen anyone own a song and a stage and a performance as well as MJ does here</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I was captivated</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I had the performance recorded on VHS – I wore the video out from watching it over 'n' over to learn it</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Nas</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Rewind</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Nas</b> raps the whole track in reverse. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Genius</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Q-Tip</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Things U Do</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">There’s an unusual arrangement to this track, but I really like the instrumental break between the verse and chorus – it gives a real nice laid back atmosphere to the record</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Amy Winehouse</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Stronger Than Me (Reggae Version By Reggaesta)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I love the original, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">obviously Amy’s vocals are incredible</span></b>, but I love the bounce of this remix you get from the offbeat <b>Reggae</b> staccato chords.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="color: red;">SIDE A</span></span> | by <span style="color: #ffcc33;">Regina Janssen</span></span><br />
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Dusty Springfield</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">The Look Of Love <span style="color: black;">(Casino Royale Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">A classic in the words' true sense</span></b>. <b>Burt Bacharach</b> is a master, there are so many excellent songs written by him. I chose this one because I had a personal <b>Donna Regina</b> moment: <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">we were playing in Japan, it was my first ever concert, I had never sung in front of people</span></b>. I am still very stagefright, but this evening was nervewrecking for me. After the concert, a shy, young Japanese woman came to me and gave me an audio cassette with cover versions sung by her, among them was this jewel of a song and one of our songs, too, <b>Almaty</b>, I guess. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I could only listen to it back home, and it brought tears to my eyes</span></b>. The young woman was singer <b>Ayako Akashiba</b>, we became friends and we still are. Thank you, Ayako.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">David Bowie</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Where Are We Now?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
There are so many songs by <b>David Bowie</b> I really like, I also love his instrumental, more <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Ambient</span></b> stuff like on <b>Low</b>, but somehow I lost interest in him for many years. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Too much Rock for me</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Then all of a sudden this song came out, and it brought back the old fascination</span></b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">A frailer voice as the young Bowie, but he got older so well</span></b>. He was back. And then he died. I still miss him. <br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Beach House</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Other People</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I love almost everything from <b>Beach House</b>. It was difficult to chose one song, I might as well take the whole <b>Bloom</b> album, which is my favourite. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I am a fan</span></b>.<br />
<img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V4c4qoXcKbU/XFC7eVwTNhI/AAAAAAAAh0E/RrDBRDF5Sq45CGPC44GZxuouhbxffqLkQCLcBGAs/s1600/DONNAREGINA1X.png" /><br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Pet Shop Boys</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Being Boring </span></span></span></span></span></span></span>(Album Version</b><b>)</b><br />
This one is the opposite to Beach House: I am not a fan, much of their music is too polished and, hmm, speculative. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">But this song always kills me, the lyrics, the way they play with words, The Melody, The Melancholy, an ode to Being Young, I just love it</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Jacaszek/Miłka</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Gra Towarzyska</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
We were touring in <b>Poland</b> many years ago with the two of them, they just had released <b>Sequel</b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The tour took place in a very cold winter, we had hair-rising experiences on Polish streets, covered with snow and ice</span></b>. It was very romantic and beautiful. After returning home I discovered the beauty of this music, I like the album very much, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">it's like the Polish answer to Portishead</span></b>. They did not continue working together, Jacaszek is a very successful musician today, doing mainly film scores and <b>Experimental Music</b>, <b>Milka</b> became a writer. Still like it!<br />
<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ducktails</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Headbanging In The Mirror</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">The album – St. Catherine – became a true friend of mine: reliable, trustworthy, maybe not too exciting, but always there to make me feel good</span></b>. It is difficult to single out one song, but <b>Headbanging...</b> has it all.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Biosphere</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Kobresia</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Biosphere</b>'s <b>Substrata</b> is one of my favourite Ambient albums, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">this is Cinema for the head</span></b>. I don't know what the guy in <b>Kobresia</b> is talking about, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">maybe it is a manual for a vacuum cleaner, but it touches me deeply</span></b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Ryuichi Sakamoto + Taylor Deupree</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="color: lime;">Disappearance</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Another Ambient album, I have to put the whole album on my list. No problem for me, because <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">this one works like opening the window when the air has become thick</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Kraftwerk</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Autobahn</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
No list of a <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">German Electro-Indie-Avant-Lo-Fi-Pop</span></b> musician would be complete without <b>Kraftwerk</b>. How elegant they were, how inventive, and how sad it is that they have been doing only remix stuff for so many years now. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Hildegard Knef</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Heimweh Nach Dem Kurfürstendamm</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This is very nostalgic, la <b>Knef</b> sings about a street, an avenue in Berlin. I love the German word <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Heimweh</b></span>, it means <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">a kind of Nostalgia, longing for Hhome</span></b>. This street does not possess its past grandezza anymore, but still, as we are living not far from it, it goes through my head from time to time – and always will.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">+</span>11. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #009900;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #009900;"></span></span>Joni Mitchell</span></span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Blue</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
No.11!!! But no list of mine would be complete without <b>Joni Mitchell</b>'s album <b>Blue</b> – and I just cannot say which song on it I like best. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">She's The Queen</span></b>.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: yellow;"><span style="color: red;">SIDE B</span></span> | by <span style="color: #ffcc33;">Günther Janssen</span></span><br />
<br />
<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Syreeta</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Syreeta</b> was married to <b>Stevie Wonder</b>, together they made beautiful songs like this one – maybe the instrumental <b>Cover </b>version of <b>Jeff Beck </b>is more well-known. But I prefer the original, produced during the golden creative years of Stevie Wonder in the 1970’s.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">The Ronettes</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Be My Baby</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
For me, this <b>Phil Spector</b> written and produced single is <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">a sort of trip back to a Pop paradise that probably never existed</span></b>. In my teens and twenties this kind of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Music</span></b> was definitely not my thing… Whereas now, while driving my car, I always turn up the sound and smile.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Manic Street Preachers</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Motorcycle Emptiness</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I don’t know whether in my deepest inner musical me I am more a bluesman or a rocker (carefully hidden behind all the other aspects of making songs and sounds…) – this one is a Rock song not only with the right attitude but real substance, The Melody, The Singing, The Lead Guitar, the ever changing parts and above (or underneath?) a good portion of Melancholy</span></b>.<br />

<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"></span>Pink Floyd</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">See Emily Play</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
While still growing up and absorbing all kinds of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Music</span></b> listening to pirate radio stations, <b>Pink Floyd</b> (the early ones with <b>Syd Barrett</b>, <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">a fallen angel genius</span></b>) was probably the first group I discovered by myself and not through my brother’s recommendation. Suddenly there was Music especially made for me, <b>Beatles</b> vs. <b>Stones</b> was a foolish game for the others…<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Mathilde Santing</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face <span style="color: black;">(Rex Harrison Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Mid 80’s, of an now forgotten EP by the Dutch singer <b>Mathilde Santing</b>, who was never better on later records than on her self-produced debut. Nearly <i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">under-produced</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></i>, she sang (I think) 5 cover versions, this one being an old American standard. <br />
<br />
<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Hank Williams</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">It’s a funny thing when or why a song moves you</span></b>… I never had an ear, a heart for <b>Country Music</b>… And then, suddenly, this tune by the late <b>Hank Williams</b> always drives me to tears… <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Strange</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Joy Division</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Love Will Tear Us Apart</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
In 2017 I saw <b>New Order</b> live at a festival here in <b>Berlin</b>. As an encore, they played this <b>Joy Division</b> song, with great respect, totally devoted and not at all in an ironic way. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Thank you, Ian Curtis for giving us so much passion!</span><br />
<br />

<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Nick Drake</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Time Has Told Me</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
The same as with other comments written before: a beautiful song, the voice, the arrangement, the lyrics. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Nick Drake was bitterly disappointed when his debut album had been totally ignored by the record buying public</span></b>. Perhaps his songs, his singing, he as a person was too intense… I don’t know…<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Jeff Buckley</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Lover, You Should’ve Come Over</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
Still living in <b>Cologne</b>, I saw <b>Jeff Buckley</b> twice in concert (both in a club called <b>Luxor</b>). The first one is one of my all-time favourite <b>Live</b> experiences, the band, the playing, the songs and of course Jeff Buckley himself... He had such a great voice, not just in a technical way. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">His death has to be one of the biggest losses to Music</span></b>, nevertheless I am so glad I had the honour to see him performing live.<br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Scott Walker</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">If You Go Away <span style="color: black;">(Jaques Brel's 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' Adaptation/Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Ne Me Quitte Pas</b> was the original by Belgian chansonier <b>Jaques Brel</b>. <b>Scott Walker</b> sang it on one of his solo albums (with the titles being <b>Scott 1 – 4</b>) after his time in <b>The Walker Brothers</b>. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Big drama, big arrangement, big singing, perhaps all too much? It still moves me, though</span></b>…<br />

<b>1. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">David Allred</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Harter Way </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I love <b>David</b>’s <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Music</span></b> and this song feels very special to me because the first time I heard it, I felt immediately that David’s songwriting had evolved significantly deeper.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Sibylle Baier</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I Lost Something In The Hills </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Sibylle</b>’s album <b>Colour Green</b> is a thing of <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Soft Beauty</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>3. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Chet Baker</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">My Funny Valentine <span style="color: black;">(Mitzi Green Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
I just love <b>Chet Baker</b>’s sweet voice so much.<br />
<br />
<b>4. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">John Cage</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">In A Landscape <span style="color: black;">(Performed by Stephen Drury)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">What a beautiful piece of Music with a calm sense of Mystery</span></b>...<br />
<br />
<b>5. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Brian Eno</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">1/1 <span style="color: black;">(From Ambient 1 (Music For Airports))</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This piece has such a calming effect for me. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Any time I put it on, I feel it brings a sense of Serenity</span></b>.<br />

<b>6. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Milton Henry</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Let The Sun Shine In</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">This song makes me so happy!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>7. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Joni Mitchell</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Both Sides, Now</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b>Joni</b>’s voice is so incredible, and this song is just a classic which so many people have learned to play over the years. I’d like to learn it one day.<br />
<br />
<b>8. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Arvo Pärt</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">Für Alina <span style="color: black;">(Performed by Jürgen Kruse)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
This piece is so quietly devastating. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Arvo Pärt does such a beautiful job of capturing the Deep Melancholy of The World</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>9. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Arthur Russell </span>| <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">This Is How We Walk On The Moon </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow;">I think this was one of the first Arthur Russell tracks that really blew my mind</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b>10. <span style="color: #cc33cc;">Nina Simone</span> | <span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span style="color: #cc33cc;"><span style="color: #33ccff;"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name"><span class="track_title" itemprop="name">I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good <span style="color: black;">(Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra Cover)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
There are so many wonderful songs that <b>Nina</b> sung which touch my heart so dearly, and this is the latest one I’ve fallen in <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Love</span></b> with.<br />
