I've just updated the We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist with every song so far that's won one of our episodes. We've collectively chosen some bloody brilliant songs over the last 8 and a half years!

Me, @ineeddirection.bsky.social , & @killminus.bsky.social might not agree on everything, but this playlist of songs we've all agreed are the best of their respective years on the last 8 and a half years of @wedigmusic.bsky.social makes an absolutely brilliant playlist!
Does anyone else remember a "Sega Surf Video" VHS with Cool Spot on the cover, given away free at Woolworths when you bought Sega games made by Virgin in about 93 or 94? I got a copy with Jungle Book on the master system but can't find any mention of it online anywhere.

Well, that was a fabulous listen, and the section below was absolutely incredible! What I found striking is that, amongst three avowed noiseniks, how many times that the winning song was something completely beautiful. I'll be going back through it to make up my own top 10, but it's onto 2015 now.
