It think it will be epochal. I truly believe the list will profoundly influence the music being made ten years from now. It will inspire a generation.

Just to prove Luke right this is my Outer Space Disco entry, a favourite from the Mastercuts Disco compilation I picked up in Swansea’s much missed More Music for about five quid in 1995. Those were the days, when nobody knew what anything was worth.

Loose Ends (again).


So I loved Chillin FM, a London pirate that did amazing 80s soul sessions on Sunday mornings. I would tape them and obsessively play them at my desk in Foyles. All the tunes I posted on the 80s soul threads I got from those tapes, the Mastercuts 80s Groove comps I’d tracked down and a few my mother played while I was a child.

They like loved this track on Chillin, played it all the time, and I hated it until, finally, I loved it. I also knew it already without realising for an embarrassingly long time (see next entry).

Obviously the greatest LE track is ‘Hanging on a String’ (Luke claims it has the best guitar solo ever recorded) but I thought I’d highlight this from their best and most cohesive LP

The ultimate Camp Lo track is, of course, obviously, everybody knows, ‘Luchini’

But this entire album is fantastic, a lost classic, and ‘Rockin It’ leads on from Loose Ends, so it’s a thread.

Get this album if you can. The cover rips of my next (sex) selection, another thread:

They ripped the cover of ‘I Want You’. In the 70s, when he was really fucked up on drugs and sadomasochistic porn, Marvin had one of the best bands ever assembled and was, still!, bossing them to produce stunning music. This is Dr Dre’s favourite album and you can see why: it’s a producers albums, layers and layers of lushness to mess with on the mixing desk. And it’s about shagging.

I played this in the car driving Jim and Luke from Brecon after an abortive magic mushroom pick. Jim loved this so much he rewound the intro about 50 times. I think I’d actually driven us out of the National Park and past Merthyr Tydfil before we even got 30 seconds into the song.

Yeah, fucking hell. I just rewound it a bunch of times myself.

Shagging, or trying to: who can resist this gem. Fantastic track and video.


"Pssht, whatever!"

We can't leave the sex thread tonight without including LIL KIM:


Now, there's a lot of things to say about this, mostly good, but I will point out:

1. Kim rocks it, though I suspect they are BIG's lines
2. The colour coordination is amazing
3. Track Masters did an amazing job (sorry Nas fans)
4. Lil Cease is hilarious and great on this, a dry run for the career and style of Ma$e, who I hated but learned to LOVE.

Loved that Positive K track as a kid. Not sure it has aged well in the "#MeToo era" (lmao @ "#MeToo era".... are we really living in the MeToo era? Will future history books define this period of time as the MeToo era? If so, this shit needs to stop now, and either 1) Legal actions need to be taken, and coerced or ultimatum sex should be legally redefined as rape, or 2) Women need to STFU because it's making it seem like men in positions of power can get away with rape, with zero consequences, especially those immune to public shaming.)

Shagging, or trying to: who can resist

Not the chick he's trying to rape, I mean shag....


"Pssht, whatever!

Then again, he makes a strong point here. I never thought of it that way. Hmmmm. "Psssht, whatever." You know, he's right. She should cheat on her boyfriend at this early 90's house party because he's not trying to hear that, see.

This is so good that for years I thought it was peak Jam & Lewis but they had nothing to do with it.

I played this in the car driving Jim and Luke from Brecon after an abortive magic mushroom pick. Jim loved this so much he rewound the intro about 50 times. I think I’d actually driven us out of the National Park and past Merthyr Tydfil before we even got 30 seconds into the song.

It’ll be the first dance at my wedding.

Epic Slow Jam, the Ur-Slow Jam.

Coincidentally, I have a vivid memory of playing this in the car when my mate was driving me down to Bristol last summer. It was a perfect blue-sky day, I was sweating profusely, smoking spliffs out of the window and we were singing along to this at beyond-top volume. We almost crashed on the motorway shortly after, in an unconnected incident. But perhaps to die by this tune's side would be a wonderful way to die?

Ignore them Craner, they have micro penis issues.

A wonderful selection by a wonderful man. Keep thrusting.

Our tag section is the equivalent of youtube comments section - anonymous bile from the micropenised.

I'm misisng a lot of these on Spotify, obviously - the one I am annoyed by is the Alexander O'Neal, which used to be on there. Oh well, that's capitalism.

In the Monomyth there is a point of abject despair. A point where the hero has failed and all is doomed. We are at this point now.

But following it there is the reasurection; the point where these odds are overcome and the hero truly learns the lesson they need to in order to persevere. That will come. Cramer will rise again. Take heed. Our time will come.
