The Wheel of Your Tune

 

The Wheel of Your Tune works like this; I metaphorically turn my spinning top to reveal a random letter and number.  The letter relates to an artist or the name of an album in my collection and the number relates to the track by that artist or on that album.  This week’s spin landed on O and 3.

I own lots of tracks by artists whose name begins with O, but I don’t own enough tracks by any of them to choose from.  I’ve had to look at my albums instead.  The first one I came across was Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads and song 3 is the titular track. Enjoy.

What’s your O3?

I’m really pleased about this one!  The first album I came to today was In Search Of The Lost Riddim by Ernest Ranglin and track number 1 on that album is the totally gorgeous D’Accord Dakar. Enjoy!

What is your I1 track?

The first album I came to a stop at under P when I flicked through my list of albums was a compilation called Philadelphia Roots: Funk, Soul and the Roots of Disco 1965-73 vol 1.  Track 6 on the first CD is Take It Easy Soul Brother by Corner Boys and Friends.  Enjoy!

What is your P6 track?

Hi ‘Spillers

I thought I’d shamelessly steal an idea from a radio programme I listen to for a little bit of fun.  The Wheel of Your Tune works like this; I metaphorically turn my spinning top to reveal a random letter and number.  The letter relates to an artist or the name of an album in my collection and the number relates to the track by that artist or on that album.  This week’s spin landed on C and 9.

My nomination this week is Brazilian group CSS and the 9th track on their 2005 album Cansei de Ser Sexy, Alcohol.

Please play along and nominate your C9 tracks.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly…

…or How To Make It In Jamaica.
This doc follows three Jamaican artists on the road to fame and success, but only one will make it. Fear not, this is not Jamaica’s Got Talent or Jamaican Idol. It also features a couple of greats, especially Toots and Sly. Brushy One String isn’t one of them unfortunately, I hoped we’d see more of him.

Download here, or pick it up in the box.
