Please Squeeze Me

Welcome to Day 20 of the badly titled Everyone Has Got one Good Song blog thing.

I was thinking of building the ultimate playlist with one simple rule. One artist. One song. Each day will feature a song by an artist whose birthday is that day and then nine other songs by nine different artists just because people like things to be in tens.

The playlist is here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4exU9MUJMWaouOgnu7zmSl?si=I5fqk7VpQX6aDGec7xvqsQ&pi=e-IfIWXc5GT56R

 

So, the idea was that you might want to follow and share and either have the playlist yourself or do your own or chat about it with me, you could use the hashtag #EHGOGS.

I’m on Twitter X thing as @fourfoot

Today’s selection.

I’m in meetings all day today so time is brief – suffice to say we have birthday boy Jools Holland’s old band Squeeze providing bittersweet pop perfection, then melancholy stuff from Damien Jurado, Dears and Moses Sumney, soul majesty from Erma Franklin, silver soul from Beach House, strange electronic pop vibes from Eugene McGuinness, epic Americana from Ramblin Jack Elliott, the wonderful Bob Dorough and finally an absolute contender for best remix of the century.

Tomorrow, we have ten more….including one featuring birthday boy John Cooper Clarke.
