The best part for me (besides hitting it with Charles on the actual night) is scouring the net and my own collection looking for new stuff to play. I'll sit up for hours listening to 100s of tracks just to find one or two little unknown or underrated gems to add to the already substantial set of danceable favourites and obscurities.
Here are two recent finds:
Andrew Oldham Orchestra - The last time
This is where The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony comes from. Andrew Oldham Orchestra was a side project of the original Rolling Stones manager and 'The last time' was an orchestral version of a Jagger/Richard song. The Stones label own all the publishing of the Verve track. One can hear why...
Delmonas - Peter Gunn locomotion
Cover mash-up from 1984 in a rockabilly 60s girl group style from trio of one time Billy Childish backing singers.
