Half of what I say is meaningless.
Just to close things off, the Spotify playlist, one song from all 365 records I’ve listened to over the last year as part of this daft wee thing. Been fun but I’m glad it’s all over.

Two days left, it’s been quite a ride…couldn’t finish the list off without some peak Motown, another one inherited from my mum. open.spotify.com/album/4NPWsD...

Three days left of the year-long deep dive into the rarely played corner of the music collection. You can never have enough Prince on any such list. open.spotify.com/album/6asxKd...

Counting down to ending the year of going back to long-abandoned albums. Not a massive Stones fan but the Mick Taylor years definitely bear listening to. open.spotify.com/album/29m6Di...

Five days left of a year of revisiting sadly neglected records. Could have picked any of the Under The Covers albums as they are all brilliant but this compilation serves them all well. Happy songs for happy people as a wise band once said. open.spotify.com/album/4F71RO...

I’ve not always had a great relationship with this record but listened to it tonight and it’s much much better than I remembered. open.spotify.com/album/0egRXi...

One more from the archives. Was just too young for peak Clash so teenage me greatly enjoyed going back to see what I missed. open.spotify.com/album/4NEvCc...

Probably my favourite Neil Young album. Don’t listen to it much but everyone I do it’s worth it. open.spotify.com/album/2l3QxN...

One more from the run-in of the year-long ‘haven’t listened in ages’ list. Grangemourh’s finesr. Admittedly not much competition. open.spotify.com/album/5lEphb...

Downbound Train as covered by Arctic Monkeys. 😂 it’s great to have it as you say, would have probably taken him down a very different course if he’d released it that way at the time.
