Some songs I've been 'digging' over the past couple of days:
Chopper Harris - Jonah and the Whale
Shiny 80s indie seems to be back, back, BACK! And to prove it, 6Music have just played Frazier Chorus, once winner of Smash Hits' Most Useless Promotional Item contest (it was a plastic 8ball. 'Yes, you will be twee'). I'm not complaining, I like Prefab Sprout. First Captain - it's all in the production, but it sounds good - and now Chopper Harris, the spiritual cousin of Ricky Ross, except closer to the Edwyn Collins branch of the family tree. The lyrics are possibly gibberish. I haven't listened that closely.
Otis Redding - Tramp
The best bit comes at 01:35 - 'Haircut?!' Posted here because I'd forgotten how ACE it was, and I may not be the only one.
Also, here is the John Hughes soundtrack retrospective. I once bought the soundtrack to Pretty In Pink on holiday in the States, in a Sam Goody store. Walking On The Sun by Smashmouth was No. 1 on the Billboard Charts. I went to lots of malls. I did not see Molly Ringwald.

"You know what Otis? You're country. You're straight from the Georgia Woods."
"That's good!"
