Track Of The Day: It’s A Joke! – Graham Graham Beck

Graham Graham Beck has dropped a new album and this is one of the tracks from it. It even comes with a video, and as is Graham’s trademark both the song and video are packed full of quirks. This song is an ode to what is known to be the world’s oldest joke shop in …

Track Of The Day: Jealousy – Pet Shop Boys

In honour of Chris Lowe’s birthday I thought I’d pull this one out of the vault. This is a song from the Pet Shop Boys’ album Behaviour released in 1990 and as a single in its own right in 1991. For those who know me well you will know that I am a pet shop …

Track Of The Day: Early Jive – Killa Maus

Track Of The Day – “Early Jive” @killamausThis track takes the biscuit for the most bizarre track I’ve heard this year. And I’ve heard a LOT of bizarre tracks. But that’s okay because I like bizarre. It starts off with bleeps and boops, there are snippets of audio like birds chirping, a saxophone, piano and handclaps, …

Track Of The Day: Like Michael – Prodbear

This track made me smile as the references to Michael Caine are pretty cool, the cockney accents, the reference to his famous line from The Italian Job. Which is actually misquoted I’m not sure if that’s intentional or not – it’s supposed to be you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off. But probably …

Track Of The Day: Adelide – Circles

I was so happy when this made the Listening Post and faves! It was one of those songs that takes you back in time – the first clue is the cassette player opening up, before going into a song that’s got the Roland D-50 bells that were so popular back in 1987-89. It’s scary to …

Track Of The Day: Another Star – Stevie Wonder

 This week marks 50 years since Stevie Wonder released this phenomenal album. It is a collection of songs that cover social justice, celebrating musical legends, parenthood and just a need to set the dancefloor alight. This song falls into the latter category, it’s got an infectious singalong chorus, percussion going wild, the whole band absolutely …

Album Review: “Here Because Of Hope” – Ezra Collective

Ezra Collective dropped a new album! Let’s go. This is how the album opens up, and it’s read beautifully by Letitcia Wright – yep. Black Panther herself.  She approaches the reading with gravity and reverence, and why not? Imagine someone like Sir Ian McKellen or Dame Judi Dench doing a reading? She’s giving it emotion …

Track Of The Day: “First Move” – Lily Ward

Track Of The Day “First Move” @lilywardy my mate Lily Ward dropped a new single on Friday and unsurprisingly it’s a good one! This combines dream pop elements with drum n bass beats, carrying her delicate vocals but don’t let that fool you as because when she hits the chorus she’s in her element – what Lily …
