Track of the Day, as selected by the fine folks at Cratedigger. Just sharing nice things, here, no ulterior motive.

Controversial comment of the day: B&Q Radio plays absolute solid gold tunes. For example: Whilst hungover, looking for a specific light bulb, overheard this for the first time in a billion years from the ever persistent The Fortunes. Sunny tune, sunny day, QED.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Following on from Ebo Taylor, it seemed a legit excuse for a Fela track today. Would say we don't make the rules but of course we fucking do. Anyhoo, here's the title track from 1973's album, it's absolutely fanfuckingtastic. Listen to the way the band slide into action!

Sad to read about Ebo Taylor's passing. A contemporary of Fela, their time in London overlapped, who became one of Ghana's most influential musicians. His guitar playing is a treat, a foundation of modern high life. Today's choice is joyous, go well, Ebo.

Ist Ist provide a slice of fuzz laced, modern rock that wears its influences well. If you don't get a feeling of Incubation by Joy Division from this, you might need your ears testing. A fantastic tune that'll kick start your Tuesday:

"I can't wait 'til the summer comes, I'll open up my door and the snow will be gone..." Snow/Rain, seems pretty apt at the moment. Here's Silver Apples with a song released in 1998 but made 30 years before. Glorious, oddball electronic pioneers for a Monday morning. X

Smith is absolutely rock solid in the second part, the bedrock that allows the rest of Television to just fucking go for it. That restraint, that solidity, absolutely fantastic. x

Sad to hear of the passing of Fred Smith, the anchor for Television throughout their story. Yes, yes, it is an obvious choice. Yes, we've already used it. But fucking hell man, Marquee Moon is one of the greatest songs of all time and Smith's bass is integral. Go well, Fred.

Innnnnteresting. The Angelique Kidjo full album cover of Remain In Light is a work of art so this intrigues. @joemuggs.bsky.social, is the version of Crosseyed and Painless on this on a par? Will pick up tomorrow for Bandcamp Friday!
