October

It's 1st October so the obvious thing to do is post a selection of songs that I last played on 1st October in previous years, from 2021 going all the way back to 2014, with apologies for the latter to Blonde Redhead, Willie Nelson & Sinéad O'Connor and The Sisters Of Mercy, you've been sorely neglected.

 

Forty five minutes of music, randomly collated but lovingly sequenced into a sepia-tinged Saturday soundtrack. Feel and hear the leaves crunch underfoot as you shuffle along, occasionally letting yourself drop into a little jig when you think no-one is looking.

2) Don't Give Up (Cover of Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush): Willie Nelson ft. Sinéad O'Connor (1993)

4) Manipulating Woman: Ladyhawke (2008)

5) Something Fast (Album Version): The Sisters Of Mercy (1990)
