Oh man, that P.E. show was surreal. Chuck D. and Flavor Flav shaking hands with people before the show blew my motherfucking mind.

I’ll play along…this is from the work PC, so a smaller selection of tunes, but random nonetheless.
1. Bowie – Suffragette City (Ziggy Stardust)
Not my favourtite Bowie tune or album, but great guitar riffage. Most memorable for the mis-heard lyrics that Lesley always sang to this song (not to be disclosed here).
2. Jamiroquai – Runaway (High Times: Singles 2002-2006)
I appreciate Jamiroquai in the small-doses kind of way that ‘greatest hits’ packages were made for. This is typical waka-waka Stevie-style funk.
3. Ron Sexsmith – There’s a Rhythm (Ron Sexsmith)
Sigh…I love Ron Sexsmith. If there’s a better singer-songwriter going today I don’t know who they are.
4. Beatles – When I Get Home (Hard Day’s Night)
Nothing much to say here. Not a bad rave-up track.
5. New Order – Blue Monday (Substance)
I swear this wasn’t fixed for your benefit, Kev.
6. General Patton and the Xecutioners – Imitative Electromagnetic Deception (IED)-Digital Nonsecure Voice (Joint Special Operations Task Force)
One of those weird ones I just happened upon: Mike Patton with turntable wizards the Xecutioners make a war-related concept album. Wicked.
7. Jimi Hendrix – Long Hot Summer Night (Electric Ladyland)
Nice stoner groove.
8. Public Enemy – Shut ‘Em Down (Apocalypse ‘91)
Not their best track or album, but dang Chuck’s got the best voice in rap ever. This was when copyright threats pretty much killed the bomb squad’s wall of sound, but it still rocks hard. Wish I’d gone to that Twist gig, Kev.
9. Tribe Called Quest – Keep it Rollin’ (Midnight Marauders)
Mellow-out hip-hop…from the where are they now vaults.
10. Hot Chip – The Warning (the Warning)
Oooh, a modern song!
