This was playing in a trendy up-market men’s clothes shop I frequent the other day. I hadn’t heard it for years and had forgotten how great it is. Nothing more to say.

You probably know a load of tunes by these guys, they had several massive hits in the 80s although I was never so much a fan of the later ones (Shout, Sowing the Seeds etc.). Their first album, The Hurting, contains some killer tracks and is one of those rare pop records that’s actually worth a listen all the way through rather than heading straight for the singles. As well as Mad World, and the awesome Pale Shelter there are a few other wicked tracks on there including this one…

Something a bit more rocking for you today. Budgie were a big influence on many of the early heavy metal acts and have also often been cited as a favourite of many seminal thrash metallers over the years (Metallica, Megadeth etc). This tune is one of those that I must have picked up from some distant listen years back but had no idea who it was by. Absolutely wicked stuff from a very underrated band…

Interpol have had four albums now and while the newer ones haven’t quite reached the heights that the first two did they’re definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of a bit of indie/rock. Pretentiously ambiguous lyrics everywhere and more than a hint of influence from classic alternative bands such as Joy Division but Interpol consistently put out albums that have more killer than filler. This is a more low key effort from their wicked debut, Turn On The Bright Lights, check the rest of the album for some more up tempo material.

Happy New Year to all!
I didn’t manage to even look at this blog over the Christmas period and now that it’s January I feel like posting up a few guitar based tunes. This is a band that I discovered some time last year and totally love. Full of beautiful melodies with a laid back feel The Whitest Boy Alive are straight outta Berlin, one of my favourite cities, and I highly recommend anyone to pick up their albums if this tune floats your boat.
