Always liked the Manics. This is one of my favourites.

Depeche Mode, even through their cheesiest phase, did hint at greatness.

This came out in 1982. It must be one of the most unbalanced singles ever.

The Meaning Of Love, the A-side, is their most teenage-oriented single, by far.
Like the French say, "on aime ou on n'aime pas".

Yet this is Oberkorn (It's A Small Town), its B-side.
Could have been on Low or Heroes. Absolutely fantastic, I love it.

Bauhaus - Poison Pen

Finally...by far the best version of KV594 I think.

'Is anois, a stóirín, ó tá tú ag imeacht uaim
Is ó tharla nach tú atá i ndán dhom
Seo dhuit póigín ar bharr mo chuig méara
Is, a stóirín, mo chúig céad slán leat.'

...but if there's hope in this house
I'm going to find it
If there's hope in this house
I'm going to rope I'm going to bind it
If there's hope in this house
I want to get up inside it
Magnify it
I want to take a long draw

Anyone else here do outdoors stuff with an iPod?  (Brett tells me most people are now using their phones instead but I refuse to be tied to a phone, it stays in the house, thank you very much, and I haven't upgraded my phone in ten years, and have no desire to be doing any Internet stuff on a tiny screen either - laptops are much nicer.)

Anyway, I recently started playing songs in alphabetical order, which gives me a nice mix of the artists in the collection - a combination of my stuff and Brett's stuff.  When I started out with the iPod I was just borrowing Brett's, and putting it on random play gave me what I called "Brett-FM" - now I have my own (second-hand, refurbished because I dislike causing things to be manufactured if I can buy recycled things instead) - and a mix of my own music and "Brett-FM" so I still get a lot of surprises.

Today I was up to "H" and here's some of my favourite stuff from today's "programme":

This next one I really have to recommend to anyone who's not heard it.  It's an extremely naughty song from an Australian band (with an American singer by the name of Tex Perkins).  We've got a lot of their stuff and think half the time Perkins is hamming it and tongue in cheek.

This next one was a surprise "new thing" for me - I thought it was excellent.

This last one is really beautiful... I had both versions, but the acoustic has such gorgeous singing...

...that was about a third of the playlist, but it's a nice mix of genres in case anyone is sick of listening to the radio and wants to hear all sorts of stuff.
