<p>Well, that first show playing only 7”s was so fun and random, bringing back so many memories from my childhood, that I had to go again. Sure, I had rinsed the 80’s dry, but I have plenty more randomness and oddments lined up.</p><p>For as much as I absolutely love Lemon Jelly, having worked with Nick Franglen and catch up with Fred Deakin every so often, I hardly ever play their tunes. So to remedy that, I kick off with a few cuts from various 7’s (all with beautiful artwork no less)</p><p>Its fun finding things I’ve forgotten, as it's an area of my collection I don’t often dwell in, so that Beastie Boys track I don’t think I’ve ever heard before. It's the B Side to Intergalactic, so why would you ever get to it? The Method Man/Redman/Stevie Wonder mash up is clearly a bootleg, and the Heroes of Limbo is bordering on Craig Charles territory, so a swift turn into Andre 3000’s All Together Now, which is totally bonkers and all the better for it.</p><p>The next section seems to hang together well, James Last, The 5th Dimension leading us to Adriano Celentano, whose lyrics are utter gibberish, and glorious for it and it has a great video which is worth 3.40 of your life (and I”m pretty sure the band OK GO must have studied this)</p><p>Belle and Sebastien are here with Legal Man, a ridiculously uplifting track, into Jim Noirs' tale of playing football in his back garden and having a grumpy neighbour, the story of every childhood. </p><p>That brings us to Honor Blackman and Patrick MacNee. </p><p>If you owned a copy of Kinky Boots, would you not play it all the time? Well, it was a charity shop find and I don’t think I’ve ever played it, so I’m remedying that right now.</p><p>The last half an hour or so, is such a wild ride through different things, its hard to really talk about the why? I mean, the majestic Hannah from London Grammar and her acapella of ‘Rooting for You’ is stunning, Blacklands is a rare charity shop find, most of which ended up in a skip, but I found a copy having never heard of it, and it is the most beautiful thing. Jon Pertwee and the kids nursury ryhme/nightmare material ‘I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly’ makes an appearance, followed for the first time ever in the world, MC5 and ‘Kick Out The Jams’</p><p>I’ve not listened to Lenny Kravitz in over 30 years, but when he was relatively unknown I listened to him quite a lot, courtesy of my brother. Mr Cab Driver still drips with cool, despite Lenny himself not dripping in cool anymore, there was a funny clip of his daughter roasting him about never wearing a shirt, classic.</p><p>I hope you enjoy this show, I’ve potentially got one more 7’s show in the bank, then onto the 10’s, then back to normal business, my stack of new music is getting unwealdy…</p><p>See you then x</p><p>Tracklist</p><p>Lemon Jelly - Soft</p><p>Lemon Jelly - Only Want To Make Things Right</p><p>Lemon Jelly - A Personal Message from our Chairman</p><p>Lemon Jelly - The Shouty Track</p><p>The Go Team - Ladyflash</p><p>Beastie Boys - Peanut Butter and Jelly</p><p>Eric B and Rakim - Paid In Full (Coldcut Remix)</p><p>Redman/Method Man vs Stevie Wonder - How Superstitious</p><p>Heroes of Limbo - Madchester Woman</p><p>Andre 3000 - All Together Now</p><p>The New Freedom Singers - He’s Got The Whole World In HIs Hands</p><p>James Last - Everyday People</p><p>The 5th Dimension - Medley/Aquarius-Let The Sun Shine In</p><p>Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinansinainclusol</p><p>Ruth Price - Shadrach</p><p>Johnny Jones and The King Casuals - Purple Haze</p><p>Techniques All Stars - Stalag 13</p><p>Rasputins Stash - What’s on your Mind?</p><p>Belle and Sebastian - Legal Man</p><p>Jim Noir - Eanie Meanie</p><p>Honor Blackman and Patrick MacNee - Kinky Boots</p><p>Allen Toussaint - Working in the Coalmine</p><p>Jennifer - Chelsea Morning</p><p>Dwight Tribble - What The World Needs Now</p><p>Erykah Badu and James Poyser - Tempted</p><p>Blacklands - The Wytchwood</p><p>London Grammar - Rooting For You (Acapella)</p><p>Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds - Life Story</p><p>Air - Playground Love</p><p>Jon Pertwee - I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly</p><p>MC5 - Kick Out The Jams</p><p>Lenny Kravitz - Mr Cab Driver</p><p>ZZ Top - Give Me All Your Lovin’</p><p>Diana Ross - Love Hangover</p><p>Gloria Ann Taylor - Love is a Hurtin’ Thing</p><p>Young Holt Unlimited - Yes We Can</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
