Pop Medley

The sequel. I started with another spin of the complete Blue Nile Peace at Last. Then a series of songs by Randy Newman from a rather awfully remastered 'Best of' CD. Followed up with

• Jah Nuh Dead, Marcus Garvey (in both the original and dub versions) from Sinéad O'Connor's Throw Down Your Arms,
• Tango Cancion and Paris, Texas from Gotan Project's Lunàtico (a spectacular recording), 
• Matta, Signals and An Ending (Ascent) from Brian Eno's Apollo, 
• most of the first disc of Eels' Blinking Lights and Other Revelations,
• If I Was A Tap Natch Poet and Reggae fi May Ayim from Linton Kwesi Johnson's More Time,
• Let There Be Music, Ride and I Love Music from Prefab Sprout's Let's Change The World With Music,
• Hope There's Someone from Anthony and the Johnson's I Am A Bird Now, 
• Ground on Down from Ben Harper's Fight for Your Mind,

From LKJ's beautiful Reggae for May Ayim (an Afro-German poet who killed herself because she was diagnosticised with MS):
