Five Songs For Friday:  33 – 5 O’Clock Worlds

I’m a big fan of the 5pm Friday music; the perfect album – or playlist – something you put on for the walk home for work, maybe to soundtrack the first pour or even let you drift off for a wee quick snore; some music to celebrate the end of the working week. As the […]

It’s a new music Friday, lots of new-new-new things to check out – so here’s a wee sample of some of the key tracks/key artists. Or something like that… Actually, the only album here that is still “upcoming” is the first, all the other tracks here are from band new albums – out today. You’ll […]

Five Songs For Friday: 23 – 2018’s First Batch of Brand New Music

I’m still catching up with music from 2016 and 2017, in fact I’m still finding great stuff from the 1970s and the 1950s… So how about all the new stuff from 2018 already? We’re a month in to the new year and some terrific things have made it out into the world of music already. […]

Five Songs For Friday: 18 – Songs From The Week That Was

It’s been a great week – I’m relieved of a major medical pain-in-the-ass, or rather nose…I’ve had a polyp removed; the size of a fucking jam jar lid and then another the size of a meatball. The surgeon congratulated me on growing it so big. She was genuinely impressed. It’s held me up over the […]

Five Songs For Friday: 17 – (New and Old) Favourite Instrumentals

It’s been a big week of podcast-edits for me, and as well as layering in loads of music (often instrumentals) I’ve been listening to lots of instrumental music even when not editing. There are some new and old favourites here. Something for everyone, hopefully. Five things that I dig at any rate.

Five Songs For Friday: # 15 – Enduring Favourites, Revisiting Legends…

Been a while since I’ve done a Five For Friday so I’m going old-school – old, old school – in the sense that everything here is something I’ve loved for a long time – these artists are in my special list of all-time favourites; in a lot of cases I come and go, give them […]

I’m playing some records down at the San Fran this Friday, March 24th – billed as “The Greatest Music In The World” (hey, no pressure) it’s going to be a night of classic funk, soul and R’n’B, you know the Stax and Motown labels, you know some Philly-soul, you know maybe a little bit of […]

She-Bop – All The Best Tunes From The Best Women Making Pop Music: DJ Set

I’m a fan of the 1980s – I’m sure I’ve made that known plenty of times. So for a slight twist on an 80s DJ night I’ve decided to feature only the women. Solo artists, duets, lead singers in bands, cameos – it’s all about the female voice and those soaring anthems and power ballads […]
