What old music have you been enjoying this year?

"it will always end up with you hating music if you treat it like homework though"

That is the risk - if you wanna go on the radio you can offer her a show and she'll bite your arm off cos she's desperate for ideas.

I don't know anything about french music sadly. I would lover to do radio though. All YouTube radio show

 

[Corpsey]

Definitely should do that luka, get on upstream or something.

I heard PTV3 for the first time, in memory (important qualifier) recently, and liked this, in fact think it's brilliant :

[Benny Bunter]

when all else fails...

god bless these dirt cheap reggae comps i picked up years ago and have recently been reunited with.

 

[luka]

I've got most of them too weirdly... That sizzla reggae max is as good as any of his albums

 

[luka]

Weirdly cos I don't collect reggae
. The only one I didn't get was the u roy

 

[Benny Bunter]

reggae max is amazing, never really bothered checking for any other sizzla stuff strsangely. ive just been content to listen to this a million times. i could never tire of these cds

the main reason ive been listening to these is having the new baby. when i need to need to calm him down i just chuck one of these on, and he calms down instantly. its like magic

 

[Tentative Andy]

Oh did you become a dad Benny? Never realised, big congrats!

 

[Benny Bunter]

3.99 a piece and about a million listens each and counting. Thats good value! when i think of all the money ive wasted on vinyl over the years...

 

[luka]

The way I remember it praise ye jah, black woman & child and the reggae max compliation all come out in 97 and they are all equally great. Music club always compiled their releases well and we're always dirt cheap. I do miss the cd buying times

 

[Benny Bunter]

Oh did you become a dad Benny? Never realised, big congrats!

yeah thanks man, im loving it.

There has been a specific summer in which I was dealing with a specific problem and I literally played this song hundreds of time. It was the warmest summer ever.

When he's doing it right his voice is so beautiful.

 

[Corpsey]

As an experiment play the baby Pump up the Pun Pun and see what he/she does.

 

[droid]

He had a great run from '97-'2000. The aforementioned + Goodways, Kalonji, royal son, ending with bobo ashanti. His first LP is pretty strong. Tons of great singles too, mostly collected on that reggae max comp.

Joni Mitchell - Coyote (1976)

I started listening to Hejira this week, after learning that it was one of the CDs Prince bought from a local record store in support of record store day.

When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain'
