"I heard a tremendous amount of first-class soul music... my father was in the Royal Air Force and I lived on a base. It just so happened that it coincided with the period of pirate radio stations, so a transistor radio was a virtually unmediated way of hearing absolutely incredibly music. I heard Hendrix, Electric Prunes, all the best soul music. You didn't know what these people looked like, who they were, anything. There was this guy Nicky who I used to play football with, his father was from Jamaica, and when he was moving on he gave the youth club his soul collection. The guy who ran the youth club, he was championing what I thought was starting to be second-rate output from The Beatles, because after 'Strawberry Fields' or 'Magical Mystery Tour' they came out with this Sgt Pepper's thing which I had issues with. Meanwhile, we had every good soul record. You also had Johnnie Walker, I think, on [Radio] Caroline. This also represents that period in the 70s when I was listening to Al Green, Sly, Stevie Wonder; the most interesting and radical music that was going. It's pathetic to go 'black soul music, oh right, Al Green's Greatest Hits', because the productions, the voice and everything is incredible. Let's just say one of the greatest singers, that's for sure, and he has to represent all of that."

We've come so far since vinyl
I pay monthly for the premium option. My passion is vinyl and at a cost of around £20 a month for one vinyl, Spotify is a world of new information for less cost.
With many features including discover, which can generate a playlist based on sounds you have enjoyed that week. The opportunity to find new music is totally in your hands.
I have found bands months before they hit the radio. Been to intimate gigs I would never have had the same experience in, was it not for discovering new unsigned bands on Spotify.
Music has come a long way.

Pandora is genome radio, which means it's supposed to figure out what you like over time and suggest/play songs based on whatever underlying algorithm. I've been using it for years, and it still plays a song I can't stand every once in a while, so obviously it's not perfect, but the database is huge. 🤷‍♀️

I just recently started paying for Pandora Premium to get rid of commercials, and I honestly think this is the way to go to truly get the most out of the app. On Premium, it's not just stations, and it doesn't feel quite as random. You can search for specific songs, create playlists, and download for offline listening. Absolutely worth the $10/month.

Having won this in a Smashbomb Giveaway (whoop whoop!) I was a bit dubious as I’ve so lost touch with music the last few years and hadn’t heard of Tom Walker. I put it on and was pleasantly surprised.

I can’t compare him to any other singers as he sounds unique. I knew Leave A Light on as soon as it came on, probably subconsciously heard it on the radio. Being a retro fart of 51 I didn’t think it would be so good. Definitely one that I’ll play regularly from now on. Thanks Smashbomb for introducing me to an artist I probably wouldn’t have heard of otherwise!

Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) by David Bowie

(0 Ratings)

Track

"This one I didn't play on! It's one of those songs that just came over on the radio. I think I heard it on the radio before I even heard it on the album. It was Bowie at his best for me. There were a few that did that. I always loved the odd side of Bowie, the odd subjects he chose and his way of putting it across… an artful way of putting across something scary or apocalyptic. He had an arty way of expressing it so you could actually accept it. It was a bit creepy! It was like all the perverted things in the world are in that song, but he never sang about them. Yet it was in there! I always thought that was such a talent, to make people think something, without actually having to say it. Maybe that says a lot for my mind [laughs], I know! But it's just an amazing ability to do that, I think. That is what music is all about. It's larger than just words. I just feel like 'Scary Monsters' is a great example of that. I would have loved to have played on that one."
