And is my favourite Van album. Purely for the title track. His best ever vocal performance by a country mile (ducks). It’s so good that this is not better.

Should I Stay or Go – The Clash

Yes it was @dai they both fit very neatly on a CD. The original CD pressing missed out two tracks, but the 2002 remaster (wikipedia says, the one I have) has all 15 from both original vinyl albums. Still remember […]

Firstly as one of the sometime organisers of this I’ve shamefully neglected my group and my tracks are up now.

Secondly we did go over this when we first set this up and the Admins were clear that having one post […]

New Radicals eh? Disliked that ‘Get What You Give single and categorised them as from that awful mid-90s period of ‘alternative’ US pop rock that spawned, let us not forget, Smashmouth. Will play that album.

Feel First Life – Jon Hopkins
Love a brooding building synthy into from a ridiculously talented composer, though this from his latest album Singularity represents a slight drop in form. Here it […]

I see what you mean, but the Perplexer is an old skool hardcore classic.

exactly what I started off doing, until with 4 I realised that the shape doesn’t work to get all the 1:1 connections on (or I couldn’t anyway). Good job.

Sasha, Digweed, prog house – a Renaissance or Global Underground mix CD from the glory years….er that’s it. Fewer vocals the better.

We cou […]

Adopted by the British via the medium of the News Quiz theme. The typewriter by Leroy Anderson. This version is engagingly live and worth 2 mins if you’ve only ever heard the 20s that used to be the theme.

Also built around an Enya sample (see below).

And yet…there is no-one (short of King and Glitter etc) who can’t be reclaimed as actually Innovative and Ground-Breaking All Along

Hence I do feel the idea of ‘guilty pleasures’ has somewhat had its day. A […]

I agree the social stuff is the most annoying thing about Strava. Makes sense if you are part of a running club, not otherwise. The features on a free app though are so good I was more than willing to tolerate […]

Ok. Running app man here @wilson-wilson. I assume that you are talking about an app you can have on your phone, as opposed to a dedicated smartwatch. Both the below I think integrate with an applewatch or android […]

Another ten days should be enough to grab what you want.

Sorry @bogart so sorry.
