Silly Thing- Sex Pistols
(The best Pistols track without Johnny Rotten.)
(I Want To Be An) Anglepoise Lamp- The Soft Boys
(This popped up on the iPod last week and I hadn't recognized it. I also couldn't find it on my Soft Boys records. Turns out, it was a single only. Further research shows it appeared on CD reissues of "A Can Of Bees.)
Lonely Lonely Girl Am I- The Velvelettes
(How deep in the Motown catalogue? This gem didn't even crack the Top 40.)
North Parade (A Summer Place)- 4th Street Orchestra
(You'll recognize it.)
All Or Nothing At All- Frank Sinatra
(The instrumental break, with that organ and those horns, building up slowly, only to explode into a trombone solo, is one of the most exciting stretches in recorded music.)
Sweet Kid- Suede
(Did not have "Antidepressants" coming in as one of my favorite albums of the year on my bingo card.)
Careless Ethiopians- Toots & The Maytals w/Keith Richards
(We spoke recently about duet records and collaborations, and most agreed, good ones are hard to find. I forgot about 2004's "True Love" from Toots & The Maytals, which is pretty strong throughout. Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Beck, Marcia Griffiths, The Skatalites. Willie Nelson and this gem with Keef.)

Looking forward to your review of the new Suede album. Uncut loved it.
Hadn’t listened to Suede before (I skipped most of Britpop) and was pleasantly surprised. Will check out the album.
True Love is very good. So is Light Your Light which has Bonnie Raitt on at least one song.

The word eclectic springs to mind for this mix!
