Prince – Dirty Mind

Curator Boy — Sat, 22 Apr 2017 04:35:38 +0000

It’s been a year since we lost Prince from the music world. It’s still definitely a poorer place without him, but here’s some of his greatness to cheer up the day. This is a great 1982 live performance of Dirty Mind:

Pulp – Common People

Curator Boy — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 05:49:29 +0000

WILD CARD: This 1995 classic from Pulp is a bit of a teaser for episode 2 of our podcast in that the man who produced this, also has the credit for the album we discuss on the podcast.

All The Small Things – Postmodern Jukebox ft. Puddles Pity Party

Curator Boy — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 00:16:43 +0000

WILD CARD: We’re a fan of Puddles Pity Party anyway, but team him up with Postmodern Jukebox and he’s very hard to go past. The cover is of Blink 182’s All The Small Things. Brand new music at its best.

Nneka – Heartbeat

Curator Boy — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 23:43:23 +0000

WILD CARD: I don’t know how I’ve missed Nneka until now, but thanks to a mention of her by Roger Waters on the WTF podcast, I’m now aware. This 2008 release is stunning – enjoy.

X Marks the Pedwalk – Secrets

Curator Boy — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 05:24:24 +0000

WILDCARD: File under C for catchy. Or D for Damn catchy. Don’t let the very recent release fool you – this lot have been around since 1987.

Cold War Kids – Can We Hang On ?

Curator Boy — Sat, 04 Mar 2017 00:35:09 +0000

WILDCARD: Here at The Music Week, we’d happily take a buck for every time we see someone complain that ‘no-one makes any good music anymore’.

Yes I’m looking at you Baby Boomers and our fellow Gen X-ers.

Here’s one of thousands of examples of good new music being created. If you don’t like this, that’s fine – get your arse on Spotify / music service of your choice and actually spend some time listening – you may be surprised.

David Bowie – The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

Curator Boy — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 19:43:58 +0000

It’s exactly a year since David Bowie left us and I think it’s fair to say he’s still very much missed. Here’s his 2013 masterpiece The Stars (Are Out Tonight):

Roxette – It Just Happens

Curator Boy — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 22:56:45 +0000

Well who would have thought Roxette would release a new album in 2016. They’ve started their publicity blitz with a single called It Just Happens. They have a hell of a back catalogue to live up to: do you think this ditty stands proudly alongside their other songs?
