SLF were amongst my favourite bands growing up. Played a support slot for XSLF a few years back (I think it was in Derby). Jim Reilly asked if he could use my drum kit (as it was better than the house kit). And then dutifully signed pretty much every part of my kit. Also got Cluney's signature on a load of merch that they gifted to us. Great memories. Lovely guys. Played an absolute banger of a set to. I saw them a few years back at the Academy and Jake Burns can now sing. Kind of spoilt it and he looked like a darts player in an inflammable material shirt. Brilliant gig though and a very underrated band.

Nice choice voodoo but yeah! cheers Mustafa, Since you posted this I've been going absolutely nuts thinking of 8 tracks & I just can't do it. I like so many genres of music from so many different era's it's almost impossible. I've made about 30 different combinations already but each one feels like I'm betraying the other. I can't concetrate at work or sleep properly now🤣🤣🤣 I chose 10, couldn't narrow it down to 8 and just noticed you chose a Happy Mondays track. WFL is my fave track by them. Very nearly chose Wrote For Luck (and I'm paricularly partial to the Paul Oakenfeld Think about the Future mix). I had the same difficulty, trying to span genres and generations, but then it becomes too mechanical a process. Best to make your own music on the island ...

Forgot to add that I saw Happy Mondays at the Free Trade Hall in '89.

Would be interested if we had lasses who contributed to the board to see what their choices are. Think they,d be quite different as i can hear my mother telling both me and my dad to turn our noisy rubbish down. then we compare her and my sisters stuff as a slushy dirge.

Probably a crossover with the Recommended TV thread, but my head is still spinning from “Together” by Nine Inch Nails being played in the background constantly throughout the whole of S3E1 of The Bear. <3
[edit:] I will get round to putting my selections on here too at some point this weekend!

Brilliant gig though and a very underrated band. Because I'm so self-absorbed I forgot the best part of that story above. 'Friend of the band' Kipp Nickeas (some may know him) was there to watch both us and them (but mainly them) and he'd brought his son along Harvey. Harvey was around 13 years old and as punk as f*ck. Mentioned him to the XSLF guys back-stage when we were knocking back a beer with them. They invited both Kipp and son backstage to meet them and sign all their stuff to, photos, everything. Spent about an hour all chatting shit to each other. Solid guys all round.

Had a similar buzz when I put the latest series of Fargo on a few weeks back. First scene, "I've Seen All Good People - Yes". One of my favourite songs.

Stupidly difficult to do. I managed to get it down to 11 but really struggled to cut it further. I'm not happy about the cuts I made, but this will have do for today:
Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits Snuff - Slipknot Soon We'll Be Found - Sia Nothing Lasts Forever - Echo and the Bunnymen Distant Axis - Matt Berninger Pink Rabbits - The National In My Secret Life - Leonard Cohen We Have All The Time In The World - Louis Armstrong

Always a risk suggesting a cover to a person who loves the original, but I recently came across a version of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by a singer called Yola. I think it's very good.

Did Oasis really have a song called Listen Up? Are they American?
Us Brits just say 'listen'. As in Under Milk Wood, one of the finest pieces of British Literature. Listen. It is night moving in the street, the processional salt slow musical wind in Coronation Street and Cockle Row, it is grass growing on LLareggub Hill, dewfall, starfall, the sleep of birds in Milk Wood.
