Quintessentially British
I'm trying to get the soul stuff down to a list of ten. Or twelve. Maybe fifteen songs, tops. Some soul songs, anyway, will appear soon.
In the meantime, the lovely Mel and the mysterious Missy P have made lots of suggestions that got me thinking about my sense of British-ness. So - some Beatles. After much deliberation, It's All Too Much from the Yellow Submarine Songtrack album. I'll have to add its sister track, Sorrow by The Merseybeats, too - but I've only got it on 7" which won't fit in the iPod.
Some Blur, and I followed Missy P's recomendation of Star Shaped from Modern Life Is Rubbish. I'll probably add some of the later, dirtier Blur too.
Some Bowie (Five Years), English, Half English by Billy Bragg, and London, Can You Wait? by Gene. Now, with all that Britishness to balance out the alt.country flavour, it feels like a more balanced 120 Songs.
