Day 7 - Numbers
Got to admit I'm a bit naughty for homing in on the tracks I know when I get an album. But Joe had told me Lily Allen's West End Girl was worth listening to, in order, and in it's entirety, and he's right, highly recommend it.
Lily Allen - 4Chan Stan

Hi Caroline. I have done. x

I've so desperately wanted to come to this since it was announced, but it's not looking likely.
Have a wonderful time, and shout extra loud for me! 🩵🤍🩷
🤞 I really hope they can - and I'm so grateful to feel hope again 🙏
It felt hopeless for so long.

L = Linkin Park - Rolling In The Deep
It was rare for Linkin Park to do a cover, so I would imagine them choosing your song to do would be high praise indeed. Chester's vocal range is perfect for this though - and I think it might be my favourite Adele song.

Nice.

Day 6 - numbers
I going for a song title which is the time I generally get around to posting my songs 🙃
Ironically, I'm posting at a more timely hour, today.
My son introduced me to Elliott Smith; I'm finding myself more and more drawn in.
Elliott Smith - 2.45am

Love this song. I picked it only yesterday for the #A-Z that @joesimpson66.bsky.social does. Feel free to join in that too if you fancy it Anthea - it's covers this month.

K = Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer
Been feeling nostalgic for my music channels today (they've been gradually whittled down to basically fuck all on sky 👎)
The bouncy New Found Glory cover used to be on loads, but I always had a soft spot for the original.

Day 5 - numbers
Today, I am very much missing my music channels (only 5 available on Sky now! - makes me very sad ☹️).
So, I'm picking a song I used to regularly see on there.
You Me At Six - Save It For The Bedroom
youtu.be/t44etbU0cUU?...
Whatever is it seems to have affected the whole Labour Party.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social's letter is perfect. I hope Shabana reads it and reflects back on what she saw in Lesbos and the article she wrote. I wonder if she'll be able to justify her change in position, to herself. I don't think I could.
It’s always nice to see my memoir recommended in a list. Trans people and allies have been slandered and libelled by influential transphobes who claim it’s our speaking out on trans suicide that puts trans people at risk. So it’s particularly affirming to be supported by mental health organisations.

Day 4 - numbers
I wanted something different today. Most of the songs springing to mind are sung by blokes; all good, and all will be featured this month, but I want you make sure I bring in a female voice every now and then, and this one is enchanting! ✨
Billie Eilish - 8

You were awesome on Nicky Campbell’s show this morning, @zoejardiniere.bsky.social… absolutely awesome!
Thank you for having the eloquence and the guts to speak out in the manner you did.
Respect. 🙌
Yes, I hadn't heard that version before but I saw that.
I kinda like that it's turned into Just Like Heaven appreciation day 😁
Glad you did ☺️

I love it!
I do like the hear proper different versions of songs. I did consider this one
youtu.be/lJp3UfpvNvc?...
I'm guessing we're probably talking about the same song, and it's been covered loads, and in some really interesting ways, but I've decided to go for one performed in front of The Cure for the MTV Icon special in 2004
#A-ZCoverMe
J = Just Like Heaven - AFI

Nice to see you Anthea 🥰

I know! I had already decided on mine when I saw what you'd picked (the other main contender was a Cure cover but [spoiler alert] I decided on choosing one for today instead).
I really like the Elvis Costello version, not heard it before.
#A-ZCoverMe
I = I'll Never Fall In Love Again - Deacon Blue
I think this is the most beautiful version of this song. 💙
Unfortunately the Four Bacharach and David's Songs EP was kept off the no. 1 spot by another "I" cover (Timmy Mallet 👀)
CW video includes blackface 😞

Twenty One Pilots today I think, but what song 🤔
Don't think I've had this one before.
Twenty One Pilots - Ride

Ffs. There have always been trans people, there will always BE trans people. No law or billionaire is going to stop that simple fact. I have trans people in my life who I love, and trust me, I will fight to my last breath to protect them from the same dickheads who tried to kill me as a gay teen.

Can't be too shabby then 😉

Day 2 - numbers
It's gotta be double bubble for me today, there are numbers in both the band, and the title - and it's an excellent song!
You're welcome 🙂
+44 - 155

I didn't think I knew this but when I listened to it I did.
Good choice.
#A-ZCoverMe
H = Hounds Of Love - The Futureheads
Kate Bush approved of this cover and rang The Futureheads to congratulate them on it.
Both are brilliant imo, though I'm kind of surprised that Futureheads' cover charted higher than Kate's orig (8 vs 18) but there you go 🤷🏻♀️

A certain R Smith is always a bonus 🖤

G = Garbage - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Struggled with G cos my mind was stuck on Girlfriend - The Pigeon Detectives, but I was wary of making this an #A-ZLiveLounge 🙃
When my brain finally caught up with me, I came up with this beauty!
(Orig by U2).

Day 1 - numbers
I only know this band cos their singer rang in the Christmas Moyles show years ago and had a cheeky plug.
I don't hear of them now, think they might go by another name. Still listen to them from time to time though, and I love this
