Song of the day! Sweeping pop from 1963 is our song of the day today. This intensely romantic track from teen idol Johnny Crawford, who also starred in Western TV shows in the late 50s and early 60s.

Song of the day! Camera Obscura’s pure twee pop to grace your ears today. Famously a call to Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, who sadly never managed to make it to a Camera Obscura gig to experience the song for himself.

Song of the day! A dance floor classic today’s song of the day. A gorgeous guitar intro opens up this Northern Soul classic, letting way into one of pop’s under appreciated anthems.

Song of the day! Soothing sound of Vashti Bunyan’s Train Song is our song of the day today. A beautiful transient piece of pop, with the sort of subtle melancholy we’d later here from bands such as Belle & Sebastian.

Song of the day!

A beautiful C86 ballad from The Siddeleys. This melancholy jangle pop wonder perfectly captures British seaside towns in the springtime, the dreary drizzle of unpredictable British weather, and a longing for romance.

Song of the day! The soothing sounds of Damo Suzuki with the backing of some gorgeously produced instrumentals. When in doubt, seek Can.

Song of the day!! A sorrowful lament from Stephin Merrit’s masterpiece, wonderfully melodic and poppy. Please enjoy this gentle assassination.

Song of the Day! Car Wash by Rose Royce, a sweeping working class disco essential. “You might not ever get rich,” the song opens, this song is about the joy of being you as you are. Happiness isn’t measured in economic terms, it’s something you can slide into on the dance floor.
