Big Audio Dynamite
This Is Big Audio Dynamite (1985)
“Medicine Show”

It doesn’t actually sound dated even though it’s 40 years old.
Oh and look out for Joe Strummer and Paul Simenon in the video!

Beyonce
“I Am... Sasha Fierce” (2008)
“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”

I’m not Beyonce’s target market but this is a very well-written pop song. Enjoy this super professional performance at Glastonbury:

IMHO this is the best cover of a Beatles song (and yes, Paul McCartney produced it)

Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers – “Got to Get You Into My Life”
Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers - Got To Get You Into My Life
John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote "Got to get you into my life" for "The Beatles". This soulful cover by "Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rouser" is a Motown homage with brass performed in Beat Club…

RIP Gilson Lavis
First came across him as I fell in love with Squeeze & he was their drummer but he played with Buddy Holly & Jerry Lee Lewis previously.
Anyway, here’s a perfect kitchen sink pop song.

Beck
Odelay (1996)
“Devil’s Haircut”
I genuinely think he’s never bettered this, and that guitar riff is an absolute monster that I wish I’d thought of first.

Can't wait for gig season to start again. It feels like months since I saw any live music.
Anyway I have tickets now for five gigs this month, starting with Perfume Genius in Manchester on Friday.
Genuinely excited for this.
