On Shuffle

Another selection of songs that pop up when iTunes is on shuffle.

The Red, The White, The Black, The Blue - Hope of the States. This got to 15 on the UK singles chart, there best placing. A rock band that seemed poised to make it but success just seemed to elude them. They broke up in 2006 after playing the Leeds/Reading Festival, maybe it happened for them after that. Either way, this is an excellent rock song.

Precedents - Icarus Himself. A fantastic band name. Nice lo-fi, funny, cynical, sarcastic indie rock. Pretty much the opposite of Hope Of The States. Both very enjoyable though.

See My Friend - The Kinks. It's The Kinks, what more do you need to know?
