EP Playlist

My Bloody Valentine – Only Shallow                                                                                                                                                           I feel a connection with this band in terms of what they went through to record the album – knowing what you want, ignoring the doubters and being prepared to go the distance no matter how hard it gets. And Kevin Shields makes simple chords sound like no else – genius. (Phil)

The Big Pink – Dominoes                                                                                                                                                                     Absolute floor filler. When the beat kicks in, it’s only a matter of seconds before the melody locks you in (Mutchy)

Buffalo Springfield – Mr Soul                                                                                                                                                                  Neil Young completelty stealing the show (Dave)

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Everybody’s On The Run                                                                                                     He may have mellowed but he still knows how to pen a song. Great choir and string arrangement with a big anthemic chorus (Chris)

Band of Skulls – Devil Takes Care Of His Own                                                                                                                                 Heard it the other day and thought ‘thank f*ck for that!’ (Lomax)

Scott Walker – 30th Century Man                                                                                                                                                          Just a golden nugget of a song. ‘Play it cool, and saranwrap all you can, be a 30th Century Man’… (Dave)

U2 – Bullet The Blue Sky                                                                                                                                                                          With a beat that echoes Bonhams ‘When The Levee Breaks’, this song delivers sinister riffs and melodies that captures the darker side of U2 (Mucthy)

Arcade Fire – City With No Children
Love the melody in the chorus and the main bass riff is stolen from street fighting man (rolling Stones), the route of all good songs…Plagiarism!(Lomax)

Jay Z – 99 Problems
Loud as a motorbike.

Tina and Ike Turner – Proud Mary
Raw Soul

The Fall – Blindness
Pure sleaze. (Chris)

Led Zeppelin – Immigrant Song (Live Los Angeles 1972)

Lou Reed – Perfect Day (Acoustic Demo)

Nirvana – Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (Unplugged)

The Smashing Pumpkins – Thirty-Three
Really not sure how the bastards managed it. (Phil)

Cage The Elephant – Shake Me Down
American bands sounding British always appeals to me. (Lomax)

Radiohead – Bodysnatchers
Filthy fuzz guitar (Chris)

Elliot Smith – Fond Farewell
Troubled souls often make incredible music (Phil)

Family – My Friend The Sun
To do something so simple and perfect on your sixth album takes some doing (Phil)

Neil Young – Ohio
Massive song and a point well made! (Phil)

The Last Shadow Puppets – My Mistakes Were Made For You                                                                                     Fantastically produced album, this song has a real Hitchcock feel to it (Chris)

The Kills – Love Is A Deserter                                                                                                                                                                  Quality lo-fi sound from Jamie ‘Hotel’ Hince and Alison Mosshart (Chris)

New York Dolls – Subway Train                                                                                                                                                           Despite all the hype, make up, notoriety, this is just a wonderful song with great lyrics (Dave)

Oasis – Stand By Me                                                                                                                                                                                    First guitar solo I learnt back in ’97. Was very chuffed! (Chris)

Amy Winehouse – Love Is A Losing Game                                                                                                                                              I liked her (Lomax)
