“Between planets” is one of my all time favorite songs. Also, nice to hear the underrated red lorry yellow lorry.
Any chance you’d play Sheep on Drugs “Motorbike”? It’s early ’90s, but would fit right in with the vibe.
The Mission, “Swan Song”- best son 2013, actually best song last 15 years.
That made evening hearing Smiths “Please, Please,Please Let Me Get What I Want!”
