Review of challenge rules for any newbies – pretty simple and not too strict. Just post a video of a tune you heard this week and want to share. Could be a new release, discovered or rediscovered oldie, a tune you stumbled across, or what you’re listening to these days.
I still can’t figure this link to the playlist out yet, so unless someone else can, you’ll have to post them in the comments and i’ll add them manually to the list. I’ll be away on Tues night so i won’t be able to do it till Wednesday.
No new release from me this week, had a busy weekend. This 90’s janglepop beauty showed up on the playlist of my college radio station.
On Shaun Keaveny’s BBC 6Music Breakfast Show, there was a world exclusive play of a new Bowie track.

It is called “When I Met You”
Oh that was awesome. I heard it too. Thanks for the link. Been trying to find it all day!
For those who don’t want to trawl through the whole show, the track starts at 51.20 mins in.
Thank you for the link too, I meant to listen to it yesterday. Just hearing him singing is a wonder.
Friday night I was listening to a compilation album called Pure … Guitar Legends. I thought I had heard all the 68 songs in it. Apparently not as one of those was totally new. A band called Mother’s Finest, which I find has been around for ages. Anyway here is Mickey’s Monkey from them.
(Amy, I’ll try my hand at making a collaborative list in the morning, if you don’t mind.)
Oh, that would be wonderful!
I’ve added all except Carole’s. Have given a separate link below. Hope it works.
Yep, the text link below works. I must sleep now, just got back from a long day.
Great. I have no idea why and how it works sometimes and not at others. Fingers crossed then.
Collaborative List 2
yes!!! You’re a genius.
😁😁
Ravi my love, i got (i think) the collabo list to work for next week by putting it in a text hotlink like you did. I delected your first post with the ones that didn’t work just to lessen the load on the thread.
I heard this on Mark Riley’s show a couple of weeks ago.
Nick Garrie is a British singer-songwriter who released one album in 1969, which sold very few copies. In the 80s he toured with Leonard Cohen, and latterly he’s played with an unlikely cast of Scottish indie bands (Teenage Fanclub, BMX Bandits, Trembling Bells, Camera Obscura).
Anyway, I’ve been listening a lot to the album. It’s of its time (not necessarily a bad thing), but has something unique about it, and some really strong songs. A genuine lost gem. Here’s the title track:
from their new album
That’s lovely. Reminds me of someone, but can’t put my finger on it at the moment.
pretty guitar, I like ti
Slightly out of season, but I have been helping a friend move some of her dad’s furniture – and his house is in a street called Robin Rocks – so I’ve been singing “Rockin’ Robin” for the last week. Then Gifty Louise covered it on the “X-Factor” last weekend. Looks like she’s enjoying herself, bless her. Twiddly deet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4RinGaBk-c
See if this works, something from long ago, 1968 actually.
Cream – Spoonfull. I found it this week on an old mix tape.
Love that one, their version of ‘Born Under a Bad Sign’ came on my iPod shuffle the other day and I recalled the first time I heard them and imagined that a whole world existed in their instrumental breaks.
Metronomy are a band I saw live a long time ago supporting CSS and liked, they are fans of the band Japan, which I am too. This song from their recent album pays tribute to Mick Karn’s lovely bass playing, but is also woozily appealing in its own right, I think Mick Slow
if anyone is interested, here is the original inspiration Mick Karn – Weather the windmill
Lovely stuff. Everyone from Japan went on to make really interesting music, I think.
That was OK. Not really liked much from them before, but that had something about it.
Ruth – Polaroïd/Roman/Photo
French synthwave/coldwave (or some such redefined box to fit in) from 1985 – sold at least 20 copies I think – re-discovered my Cold Waves And Minimal Electronics Vol. 1 from half a decade ago and have kinda got soaked in the brass (sample?) – I’ve been extremely melancholy – this fits, without putting me over the edge.

Loved that – thanks!
Anti-tune of the week!
I count Kathleen Hanna as one of my all-time musical heroes and Le Tigre as one of my top ten fave bands, like, evs!
After nearly ten years away they have re-united for a special one-off single and…….released quite possibly the worst song of the year! Why, Kathleen, why?!
I’ve been listening to this for several weeks now but as It is a tribute from one of the great British songwriters to Bowie and given that most of you probably haven’t heard it yet I thought I’d bung it up !
