I have been soothing my soul with music this week. Brutally flicking past nearly everything on my player except for a few, err, exceptions.
Roxy Music – Out of the Blue (and pretty much the whole of Country Life. Love times a bazillion).
Svensk – Dream Magazine (from brilliant psychedelic compilation album Piccadilly Sunshine)
Prince – Girls and Boys (And pretty much the whole of Parade right now. I particularly love the line “She had the cutest ass he’d ever seen, he did too they were meant to be”.)
The Lemon Pipers – Green Tambourine (Perfect pop. Makes you happy without making you want to vomit)
The Who – My Wife (and most of Who’s Next. This one in particular always seems to make me laugh.)
Fox – He’s Got Magic (I very rarely skip past Fox songs. The lyrics are brilliant, baffling and beautiful, which is possibly partly to do with Noosha’s style of singing. Love.)
A great fistful of tunes, we recorded our 11th podcast last night(the theme being sound-a-likes), and Roxy came up a couple of times for providing the influence , inspiration and career template for other bands
What great choices. And thank you for introducing me to Fox – I love it, she's amazing! Have a fabulous weekend xx
