Not too bad.
Amy Winehouse. I was obsessed with Amy Winehouse as a teenager, I thought she was one of the coolest people I’d seen. I watched every live performance, interview, anything she did. Somewhere in the venue we still have the AAA pass from the night she played. Gutted to have missed it.
The Chemical Brothers. Not sure if festivals count, but both times they were great.
'Hurry Up Harry' by Sham 69. I think it must be the song I asked to be played the most when I was growing up, it was always on in the house. That or something by Fatboy Slim. Whenever I was slow-walking back from school, my dad would run ahead and start singing it to get me moving.
'Plants and Rags' by PJ Harvey. I don’t really know what makes a favourite album, but this is the one I always come back to and never seem get sick of. Everything she’s put out is brilliant, it was hard to choose.
'Forever' by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Siouxsie was also a big teenage obsession, and I think this song is beautiful. There’s a great photo of Siouxsie Sioux with Chrissie Hynde, Deborah Harry, Viv Albertine, Poly Styrene and Pauline Black, all sat together, and when I first saw it, I went through quite literally everything they all had ever made.
'Pish' by Brian Jonestown Massacre. A track I break out when I don’t know what else to play.
'Uptown Top Ranking' by Althea and Donna. I think everyone was born knowing this tune.
'Baby I Need Your Loving' by The Four Tops. Never fails to get people moving, my mum included. A regular track at the Northern Soul all-nighters.
'Frozen' by Madonna. Regularly on repeat to be honest.
'Fever' by Lime Garden.
'7ft Tall Post-Suicidal Feel Good Blues' by Nancy.
'Send Me' by Tirzah.
'Coltan Candy' by moa moa.
'Guided by Angels' by Amyl and The Sniffers.
