Last tune you played 5 times in a row

[chveik]

Colleague went to Harare years ago and I asked her to get me something by Marshall Muhumumwe and Four Brothers, who I must have heard on Peel. She got me two cassettes that were fantastic. One one was this, which, probably through laziness I've only just found on youtube.

Probably went ten years without hearing this but the bass line would pop into my head every now and then. It's the best bass line ever made, even better than Down The Final Flight by The Very Things

I listened to their Peel session the other day. great stuff. it's time for Soundway or Soul Jazz to finally make a Zimbabwe compilation

[jobotic]

According to Last FM it was Down Under by Men At Work but that was an accident

Heard a snippet of this while watching I Am Not Okay With This. Had to look it up. Never heard of her. This is brilliant, I Am Not Okay With This is really good too.

Lay in bed last night and listened to this on a loop:

Dick Gaughan - Now Westlin Winds

[Camp Tramp]

Heard this on the Gideon Coe show yesterday and it has stuck in my head.

Good video as well.

[MinnieTimperley]

I literally listened to this 10 on repeat for an hour on my bike ride - Fucking Drum sound and attitude

I've been enjoying this understated slovak dreampop track by TOLSTOYS recently. It's no Prudy but still.

and this banger from pre Vinegar Joe Elkie Brooks which I'm surprised hasn't been sampled[nb]the intro[/nb]

[Dusty Substance]

Went down a Spotify rabbit hole last night, listening to only music from 2019/20. I heard some truly great stuff but the only one I played at least five times in a row was After Hours by The Weeknd. Already on my fifth listen today. Best song I've heard this year.

[Twit 2]

Lapalux - Limb to Limb

[Twit 2]

Devin Townsend - Call of the Void

[phes]

I'm not sure how this one passed me by for almost 30 years but I've probably lost 2 or 3% of my remaining hearing today hammering out Coldcut's remix of Love is a Stranger

[Sin Agog]

Drano In Your Veins ('75) by Cleveland Proto-Punkers The Styrenes.  It's like Syd Barrett if he burnt ants with a magnifying glass as a kid instead of just reading Wind in the Willows over and over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb5yiLBrV54

It's hard to play Going Down by Freddie King only once.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_ONyukSLqA

It's also impossible not to nod your head to it. Impossible. Like Strong Island or Made You Look.

[Sin Agog]

A woman named Jeritree alone with her marimba making C Major sound strangely mournful.  Her voice almost sounds like a female Robbie Basho.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f56Y2DJTcMc

Stoplight Roses by Nick Lowe

Bastard

[Puce Moment]

I know nothing about Lorde, but I am a Replacements fan, and I consider this a most bewildering and enjoyable cover:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9SJHs3i8-I

This is especially surprising because I despise all those slowed down breathy female cover versions of songs that are ubiquitious on adverts these days.

Your description means I can't wait to get home and hear this.

[sick as a pike]

Many more than five times...

I'm a huge Squeeze fan anyway, but had no idea Glenn Tilbrook could do this sort of effortless malarkey (about 20 seconds, from around 2.35)

Always thought the Lorde cover owed a small debt to the Kindness version from 2010, especially the No Drums mix.

This was new to me so thanks! Yes, I have to say that stripped down version very well may have been the version she heard first. Of course she might just be a huge Replacements fan!

I didn't realise the Kindness version wasn't the original until I read a Lorde review, I like all three versions - it's a great song.

[Sin Agog]

That was fantastic, thank you.

No probs!  A Hungarian friend turned me onto her privately pressed album House of Many Colours last week- she's had a lot of time to virtual crate-dig since Orbán became a big bossy-boots- and I really love it.  All four songs feel like sitting in on the most productive, poetic therapy session of all time.
I love how much it toes the line between improv and coordinated, melodic and Maenad.  Guess it's easier to do that when you're just jamming with yourself.  Really liberated woman, who I don't think ever made anything else.

Someone on worldwidefm.net played Goodbye Horses a while back and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since.

The Sixth Station by Joe Hisaishi on the Spirited Away soundtrack, put it on repeat in the office and played it dozens of times

Hiroshi Sato - Blue And Moody Music https://youtu.be/bQQk4SkmMLY. Classic city pop/proto-vaporwave. Been massively digging Awakening this week. Probably played this individual tune about 20 times at least. I've played the Wendy Matthews' version https://youtu.be/k7IogfysEfo a similar number of times trying to work out which one I like most.

[Filigree and Shadow]

according to my last.fm it was Two Lips by Choir Boy https://youtu.be/HYmnHw_VGIU which is definitely one of my favourite songs ever
