Let's Talk About Ceps
Joking, of course. An NME-reading, Britpop-obsessed Guardian music writer?! In Dissensian terms that puts you in good company with Dapper Laughs and Bashar al-Assad in the spiritual pecking order.

42. Gaussian Curve, Impossible Island
A nice, mellow one to ease us back in. It's verging on elevator music or perhaps one of those 'fake' Spotify artists they use for ambient playlists, but it's real people and it's lovely. Music from Memory, the label that released it, put out some good stuff in general; Terekke's Improvisational Loops was another of theirs I liked a lot.

This one's odd. I think it's a reissue and was recorded decades ago, but I don't actually know and can't really place it. Found it a while back via a channel called oddSample with a pretty distinctive spread of tunes. It's also another one released by Peoples Potential Unlimited, the label who put out that Lisa Warrington thing I posted earlier in the thread - 21.

44. Crazy Titch, When I’m Ere (?)
Does this one even have a legit title? Obviously it's Shank Riddim, but I dunno that it has any connection to the Roll Deep tune aside from that, does it? I don’t think there's anyone in grime who can match Titch’s energy when he's on. He even manages to make blowing a raspberry sound sick!

Beginning of this song is unsettling. Like it was generated by an AI or someone to whom music had only ever been described. That quality lingers the whole track actually.

45. Madonna, Into the Groove
Sonic Youth were the gateway to this one. They did a cover as "Ciccone Youth" - Ciccone's Madonna's last name - which I used to think was brilliant before slowly realising my favourite bits were the bits where the original briefly comes in over the top and that eventually turning into just listening to the original.
Apparently Madonna's label tried to sue them and she stepped in on SY's behalf.

46. John T. Gast, Kids C Ghosts (Bankruptcy Dub)
Big man Gast with a Kanye and Cudi flip. I like the original, but this I could listen to for hours. 1:23 when the moans creep in then the bass note at 1:33…
Gast's one of the more intriguing recent (read: last ten years or so) artists, imo. There are obvious reference points - dub, grime, techno - and you can tell he was involved in Hype Williams but he's got his own thing going on and he's managed to come up with a synthesis of rural and urban Britain which sticks stone circles and druids alongside pirate radio without becoming some naff, hippy thing.

47. Rod Stewart, Maggie May
There's a scene in Lords of Dogtown, the dramatization of the story of the Zephyr skate team, where Skip (Heath Ledger)'s shaping a surfboard in the back of the shop he used to own and his new boss, a customer he insulted earlier in the film, comes in asking for an ETA on the board. He leaves and Skip's left on his own, ruminating, before cranking up the radio just as this kicks in and getting back to work, pausing only to sigh at and take a swig from a bottle left on the side. It's only a couple of minutes or so, but it's the best bit in the film.
As for Rod, I just love his voice and this song. Also he's always reminded me of George C. Scott for some reason.
