16 - A song that you discovered recently but feels timeless

Recently, a friend sent me a link to this one. Both Morrissey and Lennon apparently were big fans. Listen out for Jimmy Page on fuzz box 😊

15 - A song that feels like the ocean

I think it was the ‘bobbing along in our barrel’ line that made me think of the ocean. Andy Partridge’s lovely theme for the short-lived Wonderfalls TV show 🥰

13 - A song that feels surreal

🤔 I can’t think of any good Surrealist songs so I’m forced to go with Dada - Surrealism’s cheeky precursor 👍

I think strong bassline, I think Herbie Flowers 👍 Listen out for the twice recorded bass - one track an octave higher.

11 - A song about society and politics

Does anybody know how long to World War III?
I wanna know, I’ve got book me holidee…

The whole thing's daft
I don't know why
You have to laugh
Or else you cry

It should be something indulgent that others may not appreciate. I shall take myself back to the days when I could imagine Hutch singing this to me 🥰

9 A song everyone should hear at least once

I’m uncomfortable being that bossy! However this might be a historically important one. It influenced SO MANY UK artists (No Lonnie, no Beatles!)

I’m picturing the jazz, late night in Harry’s bar and someone pulling their hat down low and saying, ‘Hello, do you know how wonderful you are?’

Thanks @shropshirelad.bsky.social for a fab start to Jan. I’m finishing today with a bang - tight harmonies, tight lycra trousers and flicked back hair. Let’s hear it for sisters everywhere!

Close your eyes and you probably think you’re listening to a Bee Gees number, but that would be a shame because then you would miss out on seeing the dishiest of all the brothers.

Poor Andy though 🥺
