#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Day 29: Strange Encounter In my record shop, the company reps wld all regularly come to the store selling their latest wares, and one rep I knew had Noel Gallagher’s number in her phone, saying she’d met him recently at a party. Mind blown. youtu.be/M25MPBI-utA?...

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Day 28: House I lived in When this was released, 7 of us lived in a house & regularly went clubbing together. If this came on, no matter what we were doing at the time, we’d all go and dance to it. What a right turn from their 1st 2 albums. youtu.be/Y3ixEzKA4k0?...

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Wild card Not a memory of mine, but I believe that Ibrahim Maalouf composed this piece thinking about the times when, as a teenager, he would walk through devastated Beirut while listening to Metallica on his Walkman.

#MusicChallenge #MemoryMusic Day 27: Your First Kiss I’ve had imposter syndrome like forever. I’ve just realised it stems back to my 1st date with my wife. She’s amazing. This was on the mixtape I gave her on date no2. There’s a subliminal message in there somewhere 😎 youtu.be/uIgQ-tI3pbU?...

#MusicChallenge #MemoryMusic Day 26: Hobbies & Interests Since I play bass guitar, it’s only fair to pay tribute to one of the main reasons I got obsessed with bass lines - Andy Rourke. Here he is driving The Smiths rhythm section on The Tube in ‘84. youtu.be/peh6JCBoznk?...

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Day 25: Christmas (for some reason rebranded in the US as “The Holidays” 🤷) As a kid in the ‘70s I have very vivid memories of putting my dad’s record player on, with this 7” single spinning around at 45rpm. Good times. youtu.be/PTslBTBl1X8?...

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Day 24: Higher education So many examples of awesome bands we saw whilst at Uni, and this one was no exception. Rob Jones was still around, being pretty awesome, and this track was one of my favourites from the album Hup. youtu.be/yjUYcqRzkow?...

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Day 23: Visiting a city In Oct ‘89, this lot came to Newcastle with Tad and played their 1st ever gig outside of the USA. When they returned at the end of ‘91 they began the set with this fan favourite. What a time to be alive. I miss them. youtu.be/blnky1vD0pE?...

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge Day 22: World event When U2 played Live Aid, we all guessed what they’d play and got it wrong bc we all said Pride (in the name of love), which was dropped bc this superb song unexpectedly lasted so long. “This is a song called Bad.” youtu.be/HvBgRSSlVBA?...
