I'm notorious for my top ten favourite music tracks.Mainly because there's around a hundred songs that qualify!The entries on this profile probably represent an attempt by my sub-conscious to try and produce the definitive list of music that is most precious to me. Hey world! It's time I took control of this. I'm actually quite interested to find out what that list might be. How can I go to m...

I grew up looking out of the window.Literally and metaphorically.There are two songs which capture my teenage sleepless nights spent watching life go past. One is 'Orange Crush' by REM and the other is De La Soul's 'Me, Myself and I'.Its nothing about the lyrics or the music itself but more the memories associated with them.They conjure up images of my staying up until the early hours writing ...

Gorecki is a cool word.I don't know why but just the look of it. The way you say it. Its a word I like to say.Apparently its also the name of a classical composer.To me though it represents the song that captures how I feel about my wife.So much so, that we had it played when we got married.Unfortunately there was little we were in control of at our wedding so when we we left the church inste...

One of the few highlights of my teenage life was Fridays.Apart from the fact it meant school was over for a week I always looked forward to chilling for the evening with a book or doing some writing or sketching whilst listening to Pete Tong's Essential Selection on Radio 1.Sometimes I would just lie back and immerse myself in the soundscapes and find myself somewhere else other than my bedroom...

My real introduction to music came via a handful of 7" vinyls that my Mum had from the late 60's to mid 70's.I'll probably go through them all at some point but I've got to start somewhere and this is the only one I've got on MP3!This is obviously better known to some as a Beatles song but for me this is the only version.I know nothing about the guy who sings it but he puts such energy into it,...
