Everything But The Girl: Missing (Club Mix)

This, however, is probably their greatest and most memorable hit:~

Everything But The Girl: I Don't Wanna Talk About It

This one got to number one time back in the late 80s (if I remember rightly...)

a v nice tune.

The group's name, btw, comes from their original ad in Melody Maker or the NME magazine "everything but the girl" (ie we have a group put together but we need a sweet singin' vocalist) and she does sing sweet...

Beatles: Fool on the Hill

This vid purloined from Whitenoise's blog...

Specials AKA: Free Nelson Mandela

It was Mandela's 90th birthday last week and this is the tune that reminds me most of him...

Moby: Go

This is his best and most memorable track (I think)... featuring the dreamlike theme from that old tellyshow Twin Peaks...

Orange: Best Mix

There are gerzillions of versions of this out, but I think this is the best. You need to give it nearly a minute to get going, then it doesn't stop (made me feel like I'd been at the disco biscuits again...)

Cygnus X: Orange Theme

This is one of my favourite tunes from olden times:

REM: Everybody Hurts

This is their best tune and vid of all time...

REM: Losing My Religion

Intrusive Query of the Day: Have you ever wept bitterly as this song played out around you...?

Black Eyed Peas: Where is the Love

What's most remarkable about this song (I think) is that it's the only pop song I can think of that makes a direct appeal to God Almighty:

Father, Father help us, send some guidance from above;
people got me questioning ~ WHERE IS THE LOVE?
