“And this time, give it to me easy.
And let me try with pleasured hands.
To take you in the sun to promised lands.”

‘Tobacco Road’ sounded spectacular at the end of the new episode of Mad Men. It got me in the mood for more 60s/70s tracks I love. I hope you love them too. Plus Lulu‘s Scottish so up ye!

Probably my favourite Led Zeppelin song just for the way he sings that line; it’s impossible not to mouth it while big Bobby Plant howls the fuck out of it! I’d recommend A Single Man for all you film buffs. It’s one of those films that seems better in retrospect. Every scene looks like a painting. ‘Green Onions’ and ‘Stormy Weather’ were both featured as well and brought back memories of me and my friends listening to Green Onions playing Final Fantasy VII when I was like 14 hahahaloveit.

Been meaning to post about Big Boi for a while because the more I hear Shutterbug the more I think it’s a fecking groundbreaking sound! He also pops up on Janelle Monáe‘s sassy ‘Tightrope’. Grum‘s album has also been getting a lot of plays on my iPod recently and I’ve attached the splendidly-soporific standout ‘Want U’ so check it oot! I’ve sandwhiched these 3 gems with 2 tracks I heard on TV (well…I say TV…I really mean what I’ve torrented) one of which was the M.I.A. track ‘Space’ which was featured at the end of the latest Entourage right when Vince jumps out the plane; the second of which (is actually the first track here) is the best song I’ve heard used on a TV show and was featured on True Blood when Bill goes to the strip club and Massive Attack‘s ‘Paradise Circus’ is playing while he’s watching a Miley Cyrus-look-a-like work the pole. The hand-claps are key. Absolute prize of a track.

p.s. I took this photo of my brother playing his first gig (on my Holga of course!)

[UPDATE] I’ve just been informed the Massive Attack song is also the theme tune for Luther.

instead its getting harder, instead it’s getting harder

I thought my life would get easier,
instead it’s darker, instead it’s getting colder…
Without you”
