It’s bin a long time, bin a long time etc etc, as I sit here, in my cups, headphones on.
Soooo….
Random on the comp.
Let’s have your infiltered five.
1.The Wind Cries Mary/Cassandra Wilson/Crossing Jordan OST (languid jazzy Hendrix)
2.No Figas/Flor de Toloache/Indestructible (Jings, that’s good, an iberian version of Don’t Speak.)
3. Road Trip/Brad Senne/Aerial Views (Country’n’dreamy)
4. Keep Yourself Warm/Ben Gibbard/Tiny Changes:a celebration of Frightened Rabbit’s The Midnight Organ Fight (“It Takes More Than Fuckin’ Someone To Keep You Warm”……. ouch)
5.Forging/Xylouris White/Black Peak (Indie goes greek)
I haven’t changed the music on my phone or my two iPods since long before the last AW Randomiser. I don’t listen to music on any of those anymore. Random play on my music laptop gave the following result.
1) Miles Davis – Ursula (Live In Japan ’81)
2) Joyce Moreno – Estado De Graça (Tudo)
3) Sarah Nicolls – Sadness Melts (Daylight Music Special – March 2018)
4) Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen – Home In My Hand (Lost In The Ozone)
5) Duke Ellington – TT On Toast{1938] (Free At Archive.org)
From memory in the car yesterday:
Shoes – She Satisfies
Pretty Things – Baby Doll
Guy Clark – L.A. Freeway
Captain Beefheart – Beatle Bones n’ Smokin’ Stones
Fairport – Percy’s Long Song
Michael Nesmith – Joanne
Ben Webster – Chelsea Bridge
4 Seasons – Big Girls Don’t Cry
Aaron Neville – Nature Boy
Bob Dylan – I Wanna Be Your Lover
Alexa – play 5 random songs!
Alexa – did I ask for 5 Folklore Songs? Oh…
Jeez Retro, your Randomizer reads like it’s been filtered through the Quietus.
The joy of random: I confess to knowing not how I came to have 2 and 3. The others are standard enough fare, Shirley?
I have no idea why I find it interesting to see other people’s randoms, but here goes:
Chord Lord – The Pretenders
Ride ‘Em Cowboy – Sparks
I Am The Walrus (Love Version)
Burn The Witch – Radiohead
Witness – Eno and Karl Hyde
The Rutles – Hold My Hand
Ian Dury and the Blockheads – I Want to be Straight
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Wall of Denial
Karen Matheson – Early Morning Grey
Bob Dylan – Man Gave Names to All the Animals
I don’t think there is anything from the C21 in there, but a decent selection.
Tracey Thorn – Swimming
Burial – Street Halo
Bruno Ganz – Nur ein Weniges noch
The Black Keys – Just got to be
Belle & Sebastian – Beyond the Sunrise
Hmm lot of letter B there.
Like Mike H above, this is randomised from my music laptop – iPod and phone not having been synced for music since I stopped work…
Manassas – The treasure
Jethro Tull – Beltane
Motörhead – One Track Mind (live)
Budgie – In the Grip of a Tyrefitter’s Hand
Dave Alvin – Dirty Nightgown
Some curious choices there, t’ be sure…
Scary Monsters – Bowie
Irresistible B*tch – Prince
Mirrorball – Peter Gabriel
Got Love If You Want It (alternate) – The Kinks
Everybody’s Alone – Neil Young
Scary Monsters …the last truly great Bowie song @dai
Not sure I would agree with that, a definite banger though (and a minor hit)
Randomised shelves by choosing a random row on the spreadsheet
=RANDBETWEEN(1,max number of rows)
Excel nerd alert!
Chas & Dave – London Girls
Madness – NW5
Weird Al Yankovic – Amish Paradise
Faces – Maybe I’m Amazed
Space – Ballad Of Tom Jones
From my iPod classic #2 (#1 is taking a rest for a year or two). It’s probably a more wilfully obscure selection than my normal day-to-day listening would suggest, but hey, that’s why they call it “random”…
1) Hollie Cook – Baby Dub (from the Prince Fatty-produced dub album by the daughter of the Pistols’ Paul Cook)
2) Douglas Wood – Silhouettes (from the Trunk Studio G library music comp)
3) The Residents – Smelly Tongues (Mono) (from the “40 Aching Orphans” best of… funnily enough I was only listening to this the other day…)
4) Fiona Richmond – Turn On (yes, *the* Fiona Richmond, I’m ashamed to say… actually another Jonny Trunk purchase I justified to myself as the album includes some songs written by Anthony Newley, and her singing voice is surprisingly pleasant… this track is just sheer filth, though…)
5) Egill Sæbjörnsson – I Want To Love You As You Are (an Icelandic singer/artist, who for some reason ended up on the Some Bizzare label, once home of Soft Cell, The The, Psychic TV, Neubauten and other such loons…)
Paul Simon – Wristband
Wolf Alice – Blush
Grand Drive – Last Train To Heaven [Acoustic version]
Brian Eno – 1/1
Alex Harvey – You Make My Life So Beautiful
Love Wristband
Love 1/1
How about a selection from the 13hour Spotify playlist of Stuff I Was Listening To In School (so that’s things before mid-1986) that was the last thing I played?
“For America” – Red Box
“Never Never” – The Assembly
“Reward” – The Teardrop Explodes
“Wood Beez” – Scritti Politti
“The Message” – Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
Bless my cotton socks…
