Generic list post: November 2023

(The Gallagher brothers during Oasis' first American tour, 1994.)
Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I've played most during the month when I was busy watching vintage Doctor Who after the BBC put hundreds of old episodes up on iPlayer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Devin The Dude - Gotta Be Me (2010)
Mic Terror - Sippin' My Tea (video) (2021/2023)
Lord Sko - Pimp Socks (2023)
BeatKing ft. Sukihana, Diamond & Princess - On Yo Head (remix) (2023)
Yuno Miles - Party All Night (2023)
Cadillac Dale - Whatever (Bass Soliloquy) (1995)
Paul Hardcastle - London Chimes (1999)
Real Lies - Shirley Road (2023)
The Guy - Sorry Buddy (2023)

Other notables: I put together a best of Nef The Pharaoh playlist and a list of my 50 favourite One Song Wonders™.

PS: R.I.P Shane McGowan. Loved you in The Prisoner and them episodes of Columbo you were in.

  1. Shame some episodes are lost, but great to have the rest on iPlayer.

  2. You started jumping between Doctors yet? The other night I went from the one surviving episode of The Celestial Toymaker to Eccleston's Dalek episode.

  3. Not yet, planning to check out Dalek Invasion Earth to compare it with the movie, then just bounce to The Tenth Planet. After that it's whatever.

  4. You gotta watch The Time Meddler for Hartnell era too! Peter Buttersworth as The Meddling Monk was The Master before The Master.

  5. Butterworth as a forerunner to The Master? Definitely checking The Time Meddler out then.

  6. He's less dastardly than Delgado's Master, but he's the O.G antagonist time lord.

  7. Really need to go back through Devin’s post Rap A Lot catalog to see if there’s any more gems like the link above.

  8. That Gotta Be Me album has some jams for real.

  9. The last 3 albums Devin put out have been pretty consistent, which is good for a rapper like him. My fave one of the 3 is the latest one, Soulful Distance, but they’re all worth checking out.

    One For The Road had some good tracks too but also some weird choices/skippable tracks, like featuring by c-listers and poor singing choruses. I’m a Devin fan so I still bought it, ha.

  10. R.I.P. Shane MacGowan, I'll be sure to listen to Body Of An American somewhere this weekend.

    Shane MacGowan - one of the worst indictments of British dental care.

  11. Yohan, blame boozing from the age of 5 and heavy speed use starting in his teens for the state of McGowan's gnashers.

    Fred, agreed on Soulful Distance.

  12. Just saw that on a message board, there’s a new AZ coming entirely produced by Buckwild:

    Definitely feeling GOAT, the This Is Why instrumental is great, and Fat Joe’s verse on that last track is also a standout.

  13. I've heard the first two. They're fine, but I can't quite gel with them. Truthfully, I only wanna hear AZ do Top Shelf 8/8/'88-core nowadays after his beatjack of It's A Demo.

  14. Did you know The War Games is getting the colourised treatment; albeit, as an edited version?

    1. I didn't. I hope they don't repeat the last one's mistakes of the overdubbed modern soundtrack and rushed pacing.
