Here we go again, with the 30th instalment of our Friday Night shenanigans (actually, if you take out all of the early long ones, and instead count all of the shorter mixes I split them down into, this is the 46th volume).
Minor technical details aside, had I thought of it at the time then this would have opened with Happy Mondays’ Kinky Afro for its gloriously grubby “Son, I’m 30/I only went with your mother ’cause she’s dirty” opening gambit. But I didn’t think of it in time, so it’s not in here at all. I have admonished myself with a wet slipper across the buttocks and employed a young person to stand outside my window at night holding a sign which reads “Must Try Harder”. They should be along any moment now…
Ah yes, here they are:
Anyhoo, on to tonight’s selection, which sounds not just a little, but a lot like this:
Friday Night Music Club Vol 30
(I see that WordPress have been fannying around with their formatting again, and it no longer gives me the option when posting that link to set it to open in a new window, as I usually do, so you’ll just have to manage that yourselves, I’m afraid.)
Here’s your track-listing, but no sleeve notes this week, I’ve simply not had time (and yet I did have time to write all that tosh in the intro, what of it?). All I would say is that I was going to subtitle this one “There Really Will Be Salad” and provide a link to great blog, but it seems to have disappeared from t’internet completely – anyone know what happened?
Also, assuming I’ve not omitted to tag them properly in previous posts, this one includes three acts that have never appeared on these pages before (and yes, I’ve just wasted even more time checking that). See if you can guess which three (who says I don’t know how to have fun?):
- Gene – You’ll Never Walk Again
- Fleetwood Mac – Dreams
- The Cranberries – Dreams
- Jamie T – Zombie
- Boys Town Gang – Can’t Take My My Eyes Off You
- Sly & The Family Stone – Dance To The Music
- Mary J. Blige – Family Affair
- Malcolm McClaren – Double Dutch
- Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Stance
- Toots & The Maytals – Monkey Man
- Buffalo Tom – Tree House
- Salad – Motorbike To Heaven
- Manic Street Preachers vs Apollo 440 – Motorcycle Emptiness (Stealth Sonic Orchestra Remix)
- Embrace – All You Good Good People (Orchestral Mix)
By the way, you’ll doubtless have noted a bit of an animal theme in there; entirely coincidentally, over at the ever wonderful No Badger Required blog, SWC is running a typically wonderful “Month of Beasts, Bugs, and Birds”, the latest installment of which you can find here.
Anyway, that’s yer lot for another week.
More soon.
