04Playlist Notes

What was the first song you played on repeat?
I think for me personally it was "I'm Bad" by LL Cool J.

A song from your favourite album?
"I Don't Want Nobody" by Eddie Harris on "I Need Some Money".

Song you wish you had written?
"This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush

A lyric that has inspired you?
"If I Could be all you wanted all of the time”  
"Fake Plastic Trees'"- Radiohead

Four songs from new bands you are listening to now, and why?
I personally have been rubbish at listening to new bands where as other members of Archive are constantly checking out new artists. I know there's a lot of amazing acts out there and I am played them a lot by my bunch but alas I have a shit memory. I can say I have just been to see Cool Ghouls play live tonight and they were very good. So I will add four songs that I think are special.

Talk Talk - "I Believe In You"
Michael Jackson - "Thriller"
Blur - "Out Of Time"
Missy Elliot - "The Rain"
