Azul BuhoI cry a lot. I cried watching this at the time. People being together, and joyful, and hating positively at scumbag cunts... Yeah, alright, I'm crying now too. But in a good way!
#FuckYou - #OliviaRodrigo and #LilyAllen
I am not religious. But I know a gospel banger when I hear one. And if it has a big bass drum and includes the phrase 'I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochy-coo', then I'm in. Save me, Jesus!
Saved, by #LaVernBaker.
And if we're talking joyful...
Walking On Sunshine, by #KatrinaAndTheWaves.
I have never fallen out of love with this song. Rare is the time it comes up on random play and I skip it. It's gotta be one of the tracks I've listened to the most in my entire life.
OH! HERE WE GO!
This has become one of my absolute favouritest songs EVAH. And I have no idea how it swam into my life. If you gave it to me - thank you so much. It has become a precious joy in my life. (And I don't even have any lingering break-up trauma to process. It's just a great #song.)
I Will Dance (When I Walk Away) - #Katzenjammer
Ooh, hold on. We're back on the #hammond, and I'm going to use a word I hate: we are boogying it right up.
Buried Alive In The Blues, by #JanisJoplin.
This is a corker in general, but there's a genuinely thrilling passage from about 2m40s. HEY! HEY! IT'S JUST A LITTLE HEARTBREAK!
Sea Hearts, by #Honeyblood.
I'm looking at what's left on my #MostPlayed in #2022 #playlist, and wondering if I've got enough upbeat tracks left to get us to the #NewYear without harshing the mood.
We're alright for now, though. Here's Sixteen by #DietCig.
I am an absolute sucker for a bit of #HammondOrgan, me. And here's a lovely swinging cracker of a #song that has hammond out the wazoo. (Someone will now tell me it's not actually a hammond organ. And I won't care.)
Surrender to the Rhythm, by #BrinsleySchwarz.
Oh, there's apparently one more #NorthernSoul track that I listened to lots last year.
Feels So Good, by #BobbyHarden and the #SoulfulSaints.
Like, this is cheezy as all giddy-up. And it's by #TonyBlackburn, for heaven's sake! But it's really good #NorthernSoul. No, it really is. Honest.
