Ah I love the smell of spotify in the evening - there's something just so right about sitting down for an hour or two and just looking up old favourite tunes and finding some new ones, always a pleasure never a chore... and now Ive got my 5 ready, but first some comments on the previous 10...
Firstly, and lets get this out of the way, Sully what the fuck were you thinking with Jessie J - do you really want to lose all the massive amounts of musical respect I have for you ? Do you really like that ? This is the doris whose other tune is called 'do it like a dude' for fucks sake. I think you had your fatherly love goggles on for this one... however 'do what you want' and 'I shall overcome' are corking tunes so I shall just about let you off... and always cool to hear a sample in its original form on the Bob James track.
Hodgson however, gold star chap. Runaway I dont know why I like it but I do, Young Blood is properly ace very uplifting, Keep me in my plane bubbles along gorgeously, and while Echinodon is downright scary for most of it the break makes it all worthwhile. 10 Mile stereo is just lush, end of.
Ok bows and arrows at the ready, its my next 5...
Lupe Fiasco feat John Legend 'Never Forget You'
Oh my god. This has been on seriously heavy rotation for days, I utterly adore this record. Lupe has FINALLY released his 3rd album (Lasers) and its a bit different could be a grower not sure yet but this is EASILY the stand out track. Its just a completely gorgeous tune, with Legends great voice and Lupe's lyrical flow. Like 'Hip-hop saved my life' part 2 I reckon, with a better chorus
TV on the Radio - 'DLZ'
Im not sure if this means im finger-banging Sully's sister or even if Im teasing one out over the bigman, but this is the end track on an episode of Breaking Bad (which Sully got me into watching and yes its ace) towards the end of the second season (props to shazam) and it just grabbed me. And Im not, either of them.
The Game 'Higher'
Oh what a bass line, what a melody - just try and get the rising piano chords out of your head, that riff is infectious and is a hip hop standard I reckon. Cracking track but that piano nails it.
Fatboy Slim 'Punk to Funk'
Another dip into the wonderful 'Better living...' debut album. A gloriously fun and happy big beat ditty, just some filters, some beats and an addictive hook - ah the blissful simplicity of fun summer music.
Moby 'Wait for me (ambient)'
I could fill up spot (and probably will) with all the wonderful string music the mobester has produced, gets me every time. This one too is perilously close to finger banging etc but this version is just IMMENSE and I actually think it would be wrong of me not to draw your chaps attention to it, just in case you havent heard it already.
Music is the Answer.
