This track is taken from English band Mount Kimbie’s 2010 album Crooks and Lovers.
I really like it’s washed out sound (a soothing start to week is very welcome this morning). I also really like the video which features some familiar London scenes.

I was in an Al Green mood today and I realised, much to my surprise, that I hadn’t posted this classic track yet. Big oversight on my part.

I was reading this Guardian article about the Triple J Hot 100 of the last 20 years and it reminded me of this quiet gem.
It is taken from Ben Folds Five’s classic 1997 album Whatever and Ever Amen.

A classic slice of upbeat 90’s Britpop from The Boo Radleys. This takes me back! Every time I hear it I can’t help but smile.

This still sounds great nearly 10 years later. Although given that it samples my favourite track of all time I may be a little biased. The video is pretty solid here too.

A mellow track from American singer-songwriter Cat Power. This is an elongated version of a track from her 2006 album The Greatest.

Some classic soul to finish up the week. I don’t know too much about these guys having discovered them via Mr. Fine Wine but the track is killer.

Classic track from 60’s icon Sandie Shaw. The Eurovision Song Contest a few weeks ago reminded me of her, as she was the first UK singer to win it in 1967 with Puppet on a String.
