Gossip! [Street scene, Dundee, 1959 - Photo by Michael Peto]
I've often posted for your delectation, dear reader, a selection of "newer" tracks that have caught my ear. For a change today I thought I'd bring you a few older choons that I loved when they first came out - but have never featured here - that suddenly emerged from the mists of time over the past few months, on the radio or for some other reason...
This one, for example, popped up on the piped music system in Marks & Spencer (of all places)! It was one of those earworms that I and the team at my previous job used to sing along to as we were about to knock off for the day and head home (or, more likely, to the pub):
No idea where this one was played recently, but it's a classic. As I recall, we first heard it - and loved it - on one of our trips to Spain (probably 2006 when it was first released):
One that has been featured more than once by Rylan on BBC Radio 2 lately, it always sums up warm, sultry summer evenings - so it's perfect for the gloom of the first day of December, methinks!
Another one we have to thank Radio 2 for - this time the lovely Liza Tarbuck, methinks, as her playlist is the most eclectic under the sun. By sheer coincidence, Mr DeVice featured it in the finale of this year's Garden Photos Event, but here's the (very weird) video:
And finally, another "Tarbuck special", and one I utterly adore!
I had such a crush on Julian Cope! [Not so much now.]As ever, folks - let me know your thoughts...
