Track of the week 1/4/18

I signed up to Spotify last week and have found myself listening to lost tracks that I haven’t heard for years. It is quite frightening as to how well it predicts what I want to listen to.

Anyway, I’ve found myself listenting to Carter USM quite a bit over the last week. It was a toss up between this and Last Living Boy in New Cross as to which would make the cut. “Living Boy” is a bit more obvious and well known as Carter track so, in the spirit of TotW, it was the Sheriff that got the casting vote.

Track of the week 25/3/18

My new anthem: “AHOY, AHOY”

In joke – AHOY = Assistant Head of Year. Great Track. Great new job.

Track of the week
I’ve always been a soul boy at heart – who doesn’t love a bit of Motown?

I first unearthed this gem on a “Best of Motown” LP I bought and I recall playing it at lot at RAF Lossiemouth or RAF Kinloss (can’t remember which)  I didn’t know the track before I bought the album but it soon became a firm favourite.

I believe that this was a one hit wonder for Mr Ruffin – to be fair, you can’t improve on perfection.

Track of the week 11/3/18
A massive hit back in the day – early ’90’s I’m guessing – and still as powerful now as it was then.

Track of the week 4/3/18

A nice bit of frothy Scottish Indie pop this week.

Not quite sure what the man in a lion costume is all about, and is it just me, or does Clare Grogen have unnaturally long arms?

Track of the week

It had to be an Imagine Dragons track this week, but didn’t know which to pick; this got the nod in the end, but could have been “Demons”. “Its Time”, “On Top of the World” ….

Track of the week 18/2/17
Another YouTube special – hadn’t heard or thought about this tune for quite sometime, but there it is, a YouTube suggestion, and what a suggestion.

Released in 1990, a definite shift from the sounds of the ’80s.

Track of the week 11/2/18

Given the weather we’ve had today, I thought that this may be appropriate for TotW.  Sun and showers – when the sun has shone it has warmed the skin, but when it’s rained, boy has it rained, and that rain has been cold.

Track of the week 4/2/18

Have been listening to this quite a bit of late.

Perhaps I like it as I am now justified and ancient (although I don’t drive an ice cream van.)

Track of the week 28/1/18
No particular reason for this week’s TotW, but a great oldie (just like me!)
