It was nice to have my (always presumed) brilliance confirmed the other day by the discovery of a bloody marvellous mix CD I’d made a while ago then forgotten about. Here is the playlist:
- Have Love Will Travel – The Black Keys
Brilliant bluesy rock - World We Live In – Rufus Wainwright
- Raindogs – Tom Waits
- Lay Lady Lay (Hard Rain live version) – Bob Dylan
This raucous live version is a completely different song to the studio version on Nashville Skyline - I Drink – Charles Aznavour
In Bob Dylan’s words “a devastating drinking song”. Awesome lyrics on this rarity. - Hey Man! Now You’re Really Living! – The Eels
- We Can Work It Out – Stevie Wonder
- The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
- Accidentally Like a Martyr – Warren Zevon
- Reckless – Tilly and the Wall
- Sons and Daughters – The Decemberists
- The Ship Song – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
- Such Great Heights – Iron and Wine
- Chelsea Hotel No. 2 – Leonard Cohen
“We are ugly but we have the music” - Cotton Fields – The Beach Boys
- California Soul – Marlena Shaw
- Drift Away – Dobie Gray
- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea – Neutral Milk Hotel

glad to see you’ve jumped onto the participatory journalism blogging bandwagon…careful, you’ll be playing Second Life next (or so Sky wanted us to believe…)

Some fab choices there. I miss the days of the actual cassette mix, painstakingly assembled with my dodgy radio/cassette player, but its spirit lives on in the CD burner.

Lynn,
Recently, you’ve been being very clever your blogs in that you’ve produced three for which you only had to write the one sentence. What will the guys that are considering giving you a degree think of this? Will they be impressed with your ingenuity or apalled by your blatant lazy attitude to journalism?
