So good. Forgot about this one.
This whole album is wicked.
Yeah - When will I see you was perfect wasnāt it?!
Love that tune, so melancholy
Morning music.
Phantom Slasher - Sax and Violence will do just fine.
Year-end / New Years Eve parties are coming upon us. Letās revive this topicā¦
Pulled this out the other day, Great record.
Iāve seen a couple djās throw this on in disgust over the years after peopleās bad behavior ended parties prematurely.
This is such a perfect end of the nighter.
Oh fuck yes.
I saw the human league perform this live on the costa brava a few years ago. just as dreadful as I remembered it at ā80sā nights. I also find it hard to square with Moroderās earlier genius.
The biggest reactions Iāve ever gotten were for the following:
Alan Parker - Thatās What Friends Are For
- always loved the sentiments behind this. Smiles for miles.
Jerry Butler - Just Because I Really Love You - played this after the Dilla All Samples Cleared 12ā came out, and was my go to for a bit. Loved just messing around with it as well.
Nancy Wilson - Iām In Love - Perfect record.
Tim Maia - The Dance Is Over - another one that sends them off well, I think. A bit sobering as well.
The Brand New Heavies - I Donāt Know Why I Love You - stolen from Harvey/Weatherall at Trouw. What a moment.
Lord Echo - Thinking Of You - everyone knows it seemingly.
All Saints - Pure Shores - this one is a bit niche. I played at a club around the time that this came out which was across the street from the beach and at 8am this was pure bliss.
Brenda Fassie - Weekend Special - top tip, go to South Africa and play this absolutely anywhere. Youāll never get the roof back on.
And ones I really want to roll out:
Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are
Sylvester - You Make Me Feel Mighty Real Epilogue
Arian - Your Love Makes Me A Winner
Ha! I just wrote that without knowing youād done it already. I doff my cap to you sir.
fond memories harvey playing the luxxury edit of petula clarkās cover of Iām not in love at el monasterio BCN in 2014. sounded amazing. took me ages to id.
The Jacksons version of āI donāt know why I love youā just kills me every time, to hear a little boy just pouring his heart out like itās been broken a thousand times⦠chills
PS my dream set is to start with the Sylvester epilogue and end with the real thing⦠one dayā¦
Possible thee ultimate end of nighterā¦? Though maybe a toss up between this and Inner Lifeā¦
Bill Withers - Lovely Day (Official Audio) - YouTube
Always had these at the back of the box as wellā¦
Glad Itās All Over - YouTube
The Entertainer (The Sting/Soundtrack Version/Orchestra Version) - YouTube
And this has to be the most inappropriate last record, played after Iād refreshed about 20 minutes before the end. It seemed perfectly logical to meā¦talk about playing for yourself!
