Things started with The Clash, inevitably jumping to Manic Street Preachers and leading to whole bunch of 'radio' songs. But not including Radio Song by R.E.M. Although there is another 'radio' song by R.E.M. My brain hurts.
Put another way: 12 songs. 48 minutes. Enjoy.
1) Hitsville U.K: The Clash ft. Ellen Foley (1980)
2) Radio G String: Bow Wow Wow (1980)
3) Radio Waves (Album Version): O.M.D. (1983)
4) Take Back The Radio (Flying Mojito Bros Refrito): Katy J Pearson (2021)
5) Radio #1 (Señor Coconut's "Rumbamambochacha" Remix By Uwe Schmidt): AIR ft. Sergio Lagos (2001)
6) On My Radio: The Selecter (1979)
7) Sports Radio (RLC Dub Mix): Elite Beat (2020)
8) Factory Radio: Black Box Recorder (1998)
9) Love Songs On The Radio: Mojave 3 (1995)
10) Radio Free Europe (Original Hib-Tone Single Version): R.E.M. (1981)
11) Motown Junk (Single Version): Manic Street Preachers (1991)
12) Put The Radio On: Lana Del Rey (2010)
An excellent mix. Nice to see The Selecter in there, and I think you chose the right REM radio song.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martin. There was never any doubt in my mind which R.E.M. song to go for!
DeleteNice selection of tunes, nice to see Mojave 3 and the Selecter in the same mix
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mooz, and what a lovely bit of blog synchronicity that one of your mixes on Thursday also featured Mojave 3. I've been really enjoying your mixes. The "wonky electronica" of Definitive Third and heavy dub of Shoulda Been A PK were truly wonderful. I will post comments, I promise!
DeleteToo many favorites to list, but including Radio Waves is an inspired choice. That era of OMD is unimpeachable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian. I love Dazzle Ships and Radio Waves is a particular O.M.D. highlight for me.
