Not sure this has stood the test of time as much as Double Dutch, but I remember it melted my brain when I first heard it.

Just found this hidden away in the filing. I didn't make it to the end of the show, but jeez, this soundtrack absolute slays.

Yeah, same. I like the single but I find it works best in the context of the compilation, weirdly. A couple of dozen extremely sad songs followed by a blitz of positivity.

a proper and deserved send off for our beloved Clem in NYC on Sunday night. music, friends, family, art, photography, food and drums. Certain he would’ve loved it and been proud and happy

Looking forward to watching the Traitors tonight and reading a bunch of joyless 'not as good as the early stuff' hot takes tomorrow.

From my time in record sales. I think this was the first record I worked with any enthusiasm - probably because it was by Portishead tour DJ Andy Smith and has an ace old skool vibe. Freebie from the office promo cupboard.

I remember going out for breakfast one time and this came on the radio. There was a little 4/5 year old kid singing along loudly, while his embarrassed mum frantically tried to get him to stop. Delicious.

Discovered via the Finders Keepers reissue in 2005. Worth tracking down if you can find a copy. Subsequently found this 45 in a charity shop box of easy listening records. Available for pennies on Discogs. The CD reissue will cost a bit more.

Post-Diana going solo, the Supremes were still incredible. Particularly love this phase-y, psych-tinged phase of Motown.

Almost his first after show party too, but we had to make a mad dash for the train home. What happened to the trains out of London during my full-time dad years?

Reader, it was incredible.
Boy 1's first gig too. At the end, he asked if he could swear, just this once. I told him ok. He just shook his head and said, "That was fucking amazing".

AKA the Troy Tate sessions. Production is a little muddy - they're demos - but all the ingredients are there. And the songs! Good god man. The songs!
