Week of April 7th

This was the first in a recurring series (the first on this show) called Triple Play. Every three months, I will play three songs from artists that all have some vague connection to one another. For this episode, it was that I had three albums from them.

Being the goober that I am, I did not write down everything that I needed to, so the tracks will not be in perfect order. All of the tracks will be correct though. I can assure that.

Let’s Start:

Can:

Vitamin C from Ege Bamyasi, Outside My Door from Monster Movie & Mushroom from Tago Mago

Ducktails:

Friends from Ducktails, Sprinter from III: Arcade Dynamics (NEW) & Roses from Landscapes

Skeletons:

Hay W’Happens? from Lucas, We Won’t Be Proud, no no no no from “git” & My Friend Drowned in His Own Vomit from Life and the Afterbirth

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark:

Electricity from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, She’s Leaving from Architecture & Morality & Genetic Engineering from Dazzle Ships

Ladytron:

Flicking Your Switch from Light & Magic, Destroy Everything You Touch from Witching Hour & Playgirl from 604

Stereo Total:

Do the Bambi from Do The Bambi, Touche-moi from Juke-Box Alarm & Ma Radio from Musique Automatique

Lizzy Mercier Descloux:

Slipped Disc from Mambo Nassau, No Golden Throat from Press Color & Sun’s Jive from Zulu Rock

Sade:

Paradise from Stronger Than Pride, Never as Good as The First Time from Promise & Smooth Operator from Diamond Life

Saint Etienne:

Spring from Foxbase Alpha, Postman from Good Humor & Hug My Soul from Tiger Bay
