Today's music selection is all old songs, as I haven't started listening to the radio again yet. I have got hold of the new Johnny Greenwood (from Radiohead) solo album, but I haven't played it yet. Anyway, some of these might be new to you…
- Spiritualized — Ladies and Gentlemen, we Are Floating In Space (Original Version)
This is the version that the estate of Elvis Presley suppressed, as it uses lyrics from "I Can't Help Falling In Love". Haunting and lovely.
- R.E.M. — Stumble
Taken from the almost-impossible-to-find Chronic Town E.P., this is a very early R.E.M. record (1982), in celebration of the fact it's a week since we went to the concert (and yes, Bill Berry is on drums).
- The 5,6,7,8's — Woo-hoo
I mentioned this band yesterday, so here's a track from the Kill Band soundtrack. Japanese punk goodness.
- The Folk Implosion — Gravity Decides
This was played this morning thanks to the random feature on my music player; it's a nice little song, so I thought I'd share it with you all.
