The S4L Radio Show #3 March 2019: This Could Be The Last Time

"Hang on a minute! Haven't you stopped doing the blog?"

I did say I was going to post a few more pieces before finally hanging up my blogging hat. So don't worry, you haven't walked into a world of Brexit-like indecision!! 😉

For the final playlist I thought I'd bring together a bunch of great new music with a few oldies thrown into the mix for good measure. New music from the likes of Edwyn Collins, The Cranberries, UNKLE, Eli Paperboy Reed, Melissa Etheridge, Suzi Quatro, Hayes Carll, Skinny Lister, Mekons, Gang of Four, Toyah and Paul Weller show off the diversity of sounds that are pounding my ears at present. Some oldies from The Sports, The Stones, Sparks, The Alarm, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and Secret Affair round out yet another twenty track playlist. I hope you enjoy it.

The S4L Radio Show January 2019 #1

I thought I should maybe get my act together and post a little something and so the first Radio Show that's not really a Radio Show of the year is finally here.

There's a lot of new music, newish music, a few old favourites and a couple of things new to my ears that I quite liked and so thought might be worth sharing. 

As is normal here on S4L the music is drawn from a wide variety of musical styles because it's a bit boring being so narrow that you miss out on some other great music.
