After Spain 50
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

Today’s selection
is EPIC COS I WAS IN SPAIN.
It is dedicated to birthday
boys Roger Daltrey, Robyn Hitchcock, Lou Reed (RIP) and Mark E Smith (RIP also)
AND birthday girl Cate Le Bon. This blog is impressionistic and fucking vague.
It’s all about the playlist.
