Georgi Kay* – Joga
This Bjork cover, from Australian singer Georgi Kay, is taken from the TV series Top of the Lake. The show was excellent if pretty dark and highlighted the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand’s south island.

R. Kelly – I Believe I Can Fly | (GPF)
I saw came across 30 for 30 – The Space Jam Game recently. It both raised a smile and made me think of this “classic” track. I had forgotten about the choir, I particularly enjoyed that…

Wilson Pickett – Mustang Sally
I went to see The Commitments, which is based on the classic Irish movie from the 80’s, in the West End last night. It was really excellent, the music was right in my wheelhouse.
This track, by soul hero Wilson Pickett, was the highlight of the show.

Whitney Houston – I Have Nothing |(GPF)
I am in a Whitney mood today, no special reason. I am trying not to get too sad when I think about what a loss that she is. Her voice is still one of the finest I have ever heard.
This, of course, is taken from the soundtrack of the classic 1992 movie The Bodyguard.

Survivor* – Eye Of The Tiger | (GPF)

Huey Lewis and The News* – The power of love (GPF)
This is just a classic 80’s track. I stumbled across this video on the internet a few weeks ago and it reminded me of this. Nike are so clever. I don’t think Kevin Durant should give up his day job yet though!
I was also struck by the cyclical nature of style. If I was to go out wearing a pair of Nike high tops and a red body warmer I would probably look pretty fly, Marty McFly in fact.
Don’t need money, don’t take fame, don’t need no credit card to ride this train…

College featuring Electric Youth* – A real hero
This is taken from the soundtrack of the movie Drive. I had been meaning to check it out for ages as several buddies had referred to it glowingly. I finally got round to it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Now I just need to see the movie…
I like the mellow vibe here and the classic, 80’s sound.
