Now that I’ve actually got my music streaming correct (been off the scene for about a decade..((tragic, i know)) too much dancing and not enough singing), I’m happy to celebrate my ever-lasting love for music 🎧

So here we go, I’m sharing 4 songs every weekend to bring the people happiness and inner warmth for the soul, starting with songs I would say I have the deepest connection with; this week it’s all about the rock and roll just to show you guys what I’m about.

Firstly I want to show you Iggy, the man famous for being a sex-crazed, drug-maniac who was always writhing around on stage, cutting himself with glass and who was in and out of rehabs* for his hardcore lifestyle.

*David Bowie famously used to bring him his heroin whilst he was meant to be getting clean.

IGGY POP-LUST FOR LIFE

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Secondly I am proud to show you the only artist of this week’s list that I have actually seen live (he still checks in on my mum on socials to see how she is ^^’). Also a heroin addict for many years but from what I know I would class him as a reasonably responsible drug user “I’d always try to be as clean as possible when I was playing music”. Another reason why I am proud to show you this song is that it features in ‘Paul’ (starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Seth Rogan*). What I’m trying to say is I heard the song before the movie and regardless here it is. I give you…Peter Perret and The Only Ones

*Sigourney Weaver also stars. (sci-fi royalty..Alien <3)

(search: The Only Ones -Another Girl Another Planet)

THE ONLY ONES -ANOTHER GIRL ANOTHER PLANET

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Nearly at the final track but before that we have the Hanoi Rocks, headed by frontman Michael Monroe(pictured. blonde). A Finnish glam-rock group who basically crafted the genre and went on to inspire ‘pioneering’ groups like Mötley Crüe and Guns ‘n’ Roses. Well, fuck them! The Hanoi Rocks were the REAL DEAL! THE REAL PIONEERING MUTHAS IN 80’S ROCK! Other members of the band included Andy McCoy and Razzle* (R.I.P)

*portrayed in (2019) The Dirt, movie focusing on the Crüe’s rise to fame through drugs, women and booze

HANOI ROCKS-DON’T YOU EVER LEAVE ME

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Finally, I believe this can change and grow the feelings you might have of an old flame (sorry! 🙈🙉🙊), it ignites so much passion in myself and really puts you in a mood that makes you want to pack your things and find the one. If you haven’t heard her yet; you’re welcome.

PATTI SMITH -BECAUSE THE NIGHT

Tune in next week, for more.

If often in the still of night

Thoughts turn out twisted

Well unwind

Uncurl and lay the worries of the world

By any fire you find

Dreamers only believers in their sleep

Under archievers take a leap

Tell her the secrets that you keep

So close and yet too far out

Maybe someday you'll hear

Sweet somethings whispered softly

Into your ear

To those with afflictions

Prone to addictions

To users and to losers

Doubters and their daughters and sons

Your Angel will come

Maybe she's come and gone

Already lost the one

What have you done

You lost the only one

If you came from something

And you're headed nowhere

Out on the run

Allow this thought to crystallise

It is better in the long run

To never get there

And let the journey decide

In all this doom and this gloom

And pessimistical visions

Came all condemned men

All fatalists in metaphysical fear

How could love be here

To those with afflictions

Prone to addictions

To users and losers

Doubters and their daughters and sons

Your Angel will come

And to those with intentions

In all three dimensions

To jokers and to the joke

Doubters and their daughters and sons

(Maybe you've found the one)

Maybe she's come and gone

Moloko

"The Only Ones"

The song is from Moloko's fourth and final album "Statues" (2003). In large part the lyrics of this track as well as on the other ones deal with different kinds of human relations, not concealing the ups and downs of life in general.

Ten years after Moloko was founded by Mark Brydon and Róisín Murphy after a party in Sheffield in 1993, the artists once again managed to create a unique electronic groove bomb, scattering trippy sounds and funky beats, advisedly dressed in deep and thoughtful words.

The Fabulous Ratbites From Hell - Sparkle (1973)

The Ratbites From Hell were a short lived early 70s Bristol rock group who included two members who went on to bigger and better things: Huw Gower (The Records) and John Perry (The Only Ones).  It’s on a collection Miles Out To Sea – The Roots Of British Power Pop 1969-1975, but it’s not really power pop but just good solid rock

I want to have a serious conversation with people who like summer right now...

#Like hi? #Heat is a nightmare and sweat is fucking gross #How can you like this?! #The only people who can like summer are people who live in cold places #THE ONLY ONES #🌙
