04Playlist Notes
'Love Spreads' by The Stone Roses.
Maybe the best song from the legendary Roses. Sick guitar and lyric may be redundant but it just comes out so clean and smooth. great, great song.
'Solomon Bites the Worm' by The Bluetones.
How i wish my nursery played this song when i was a kid. Know what i mean?
'Killing of a Flashboy' by Suede.
Bernard Butler and Bret Anderson, what can go wrong? Richard Oakes doing a fantastic job for keeping Suede the way it should be. Too many good songs, but i go for this one.
'Starman' by David Bowie.
Bowie. What can I say? He's a jewel, genius and hardworking alien. Starman is my favourite. Rest in peace Ziggy...
'Something' by The Beatles.
The most beautiful love song ever written. George is my favourite Beatle, it was beautiful and it turned out to be the most successful song he ever wrote.
'Moscow State Circus' by Eugene McGuinness.
If albums were kids in the classroom then Eugene McGuinness would be sat in the corner reading a novel with an iPod on, generally being ignored but remaining completely fascinating. An underdog, he managed to carved out a distinct sound and musically unique. And here's my favourite from many.
'Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair' by Arctic Monkeys.
Every single fuckin song. All of it. No contender. A class of its own. I grew up listening to em. But i can only choose one am i?
'The Shock Of The Lightning' by Oasis.
People who don't like Oasis are w*nkers. Massive band, rock and roll goodness, true rockstar, living legend. Too many to choose from But I've picked this one. Ace!
'Plastic People' by Yak.
Never heard of em until a friend introduced me to Yak. Dirty,raw, straightforward lyrics. Love 'em.
