Special K | Placebo
The third single from Black Market Music was released in March 2001. I’m still not entirely convinced it’s about the breakfast cereal though.

Close Range | New Order
Crystal and 60 Miles An Hour were both great singles but it’s this album track that I always gravitate to on Get Ready.

With today being the 15th Anniversary of the release of Journal For Plague Lovers, it seems as good a day as any to post this. #ManicsAnthology Potentially November.

Emerge | Fischerspooner
I Feel Love, Blue Monday… Emerge?
The marketing department were a bit overzealous with the hyperbole but whilst it isn’t in the same league as those two behemoths, Emerge is a mighty fine track all the same.

Every Empty Action | Thirteen:13
Thirteen:13 only released 4 singles. 50 Stories was their second and this is one of the b-sides. Sadly they were dropped and the recorded album was never released but it was leaked online a few years ago.

Yours For The Taking | Gene
I don’t think they ever hit the heights of their first two albums on Revelations and Libertine but both records contained some very fine moments, including this one.

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out |
The Smiths | 1986
I still can’t believe it wasn’t issued as a single in the UK until 1992. The song that started my obsession with all things Smiths.

Magazine | 1978
Post-Punk perfection.

Rifles | Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Spoilt for choice with songs from B.R.M.C. Love Burns and Spread Your Love are both classics but Rifles is my go to track.

DNA | Empire Of The Sun | 2013
I still can’t work out why this group isn’t more successful. Perfect hook-laden pop songs with all of the right 80s influences.
Thanks Barry, we’re all flamin’ galahs now. 😁

The Chad Who Loved Me |
Mansun | 1997
There’s still time for someone, somewhere to use this as a Bond theme. Style, ambition and bravado, it’s all here.
Thanks Nathan for hosting. 👍
