Q-Tip - Let's Ride

My favourite Hip hop track. It sounded instantly nostalgic the day it was released. Some great little lines and for it really captures that feeling of freedom that your first car gives you and you go for a ride with some great music, just because you can.

I love that they drive a Lambo LM002 in the video too!  Nice cult car choice.

I had never really got REM.
I have always enjoyed "Night Swimming" and "It's The End Of The World", but never really rated the band until I heard this.

I'm very late to the party on this track and only first heard it within the last 12 months.

Utterly beautiful, evocative and powerful. A track to enjoy on your own.

Fat Larry's Band - Zoom.

Nearly 10 years since my last posts I have decided to dabble with this again. Since my last post lots has changed in my life, but the most major one is I now have a daughter. It dawned on me that one day I would love her to see this and hear the songs which I love, so I wanted to document them when they came to mind.

The first one I wanted to post was the first song I played to her in the car on the way home from the hospital.

It always makes me think of Only Fools and Horses!

A Classic

quite simply timeless. Bob Sinclar's Remix of "Love Is Psychedelic" by Fantastic Plastic Machine. Man, I can only imagine what it must be like to find a club where they play this music on this level instead of "show me love" on repeat.

Röyksopp - Happy Up Here

what an amazing track!!! Röyksopp do it again!!!

Jay Dilla - Track 27

one of the best tracks of all time "james brown - this is a mans world" sampled to perfection with some of the toughest drums ever. Pure badness. I love the way it comes in, kinda out of time, but not... awesome.

Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor Remix (A Simple Breakdown)

wow!!! just came across this remix of a classic track. this remix was out back when the original was around, but i totally missed it. its brilliant!!! the way her voice floats across the track. amazing!!!!
