You can't sing,
You can't play,
You look awful...
You'll go a long way.

- It's Bandcamp Friday and here's half a dozen in my basket, ready to check out. 10:40 Presents Retro Fit, GLOK & Timothy Clerkin, HANN, Namian Sidibé vs. BOM Nation & Azzi On The Beat, Uzly Hi-Fi & Owl Trackers and a 1985 demo of Why Why Why by The Woodentops. dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/02/buy-...
- #StandaloneSingles #BestSongHeardToday Unranked and random 6 Titchiest Kitchen In Britain: HANN (2026) hann.bandcamp.com/track/titchi... "Not enough room to tickle a kitten" youtu.be/YFxeE2anzoY?...
- #StandaloneSingles Unranked and random 5 My Docs: Kiss AMC (1990) As a lifelong DMs wearer, this was an easy pick for me. Top production from Greg Wilson and getting guest spots from Noddy Holder and Frank Sidebottom in the video was a genius move. youtu.be/MYRxS7tVCSA?...
- #BestSongHeardToday Swords: Leftfield ft. Nicole Willis (2000) I'm not sure I've ever seen the video, let alone the 'long version'. It's brilliant. Add a 2015 BBC session, Two Lone Swordsmen's cut & a couple of 21C name your price remixes for Bandcamp Friday. dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/02/pure...

- #StandaloneSingles Unranked and random 4 Again, I Wait For The World: Blancmange (2024) Recorded for a greatest hits compilation, the song is every bit as good as their peak period pieces. #Blancmange #NeilArthur youtu.be/lQ6SptK4p3A?...
- Wilde Wednesday. Kim Wilde, that is, with a 1986 performance of 1981 single Cambodia on Swedish TV. A #1 hit there, apparently. Great stuff. #KimWilde dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/02/she-...
- Happy birthday to Lol Tolhurst, with a few recent sessions and live performances with Budgie, Jacknife Lee, Miki Berenyi, Gray, James Murphy, David J and Robyn Hitchcock. Now that's a party I wouldn't mind going to! Have a good one, Lol 💕 dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/02/laug...
- #StandaloneSingles Unranked and random 3 Young Parisians: Adam & The Ants (1978) The debut single flopped when released in October 1978. On this day in 1981, it was enjoying a 2nd week at #9 in the UK, during the height of Antmania. La deuxième fois sera la bonne! youtu.be/G5DgIa19qlQ?...
- #StandaloneSingles Unranked and random 2 Omen: Orbital (1990) From the Brothers Gibb to the Brothers Hartnoll, it's a testament to how many good tunes they had that this didn't make their debut album. And if you can remember this rave, you weren't there... youtu.be/wmLdDZO8CHg?...
- Barry Adamson's superb cover of Elmer Bernstein's title theme for The Man With The Golden Arm. Video starring an 18-year old Minnie Driver, plus Marcia Schofield from The Fall. A moody, brooding, menacing Monday song... dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-mo...
- #StandaloneSingles Unranked and random 1 I've Gotta Get A Message To You: Bee Gees (1968) The Brothers Gibb's 2nd #1 in the UK and a standalone single, although it was added to the US edition of 3rd album Idea when the song cracked the Top 10 there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNog...
- A 64-min, 14-track, 5-decade tribute to the legendary Sly Dunbar, drawing deep from the Sly & Robbie well. Come slake your thirst for dub. dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/02/hold...

- #70sTop30 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Unranked and random, round 3 Time's Up: Buzzcocks (1977) To make up for the fact that I couldn't include Magazine as well, I've picked a song from Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch EP, thereby squeezing in Howard Devoto at least! youtu.be/wH40Ya5EWK8?...
- One of the greatest singles of all time was released 28th January 1982. Party Fears Two by Associates and half a dozen courageous covers by The Divine Comedy, Heaven 17, Jess Brett, James Grant, Øivind Hånes and King Creosote with Session A9. dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/01/view...
- #70sTop30 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Unranked and random, round 3 I Keep On Loving You: Susan Cadogan (1976) Lee 'Scratch' Perry produced it, Susan sang it, magic happened. youtu.be/02lgRdAdOyc?... As a bonus tribute to Sly Dunbar (RIP) Dub MPLA: Tapper Zukie (1976) youtu.be/xAua5oX2W1k?...
- RIP Sly Dunbar dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/01/got-...
- #70sTop30 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Unranked and random, round 3 Koun'Toupack: Godchild (1975) The opening track to their self-titled and only album, resurrected in 2002 by Kid Loco. The theme tune to that imaginary 70s French detective TV show in your head. Awesome. youtu.be/kuimGP66LN0?...
- Slight spoiler but Magazine haven't made my #70sTop30 list this time around, though I could have done the entire 30 based on their songs alone. Just listen to and watch Feed The Enemy, the opener of 1979's Secondhand Daylight. Superb. #MusicChallenge #MusicSky dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/01/no-r...
- As a companion to my #70sTop30 pick today, here's a 45-min Dubhed selection of Keith Hudson cuts, featuring Fight Your Revolution and 13 other classics. #MusicChallenge #MusicSky dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/01/mayb...

- #70sTop30 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Unranked and random, round 3 Willow's Song: Magnet & Paul Giovanni (1973) I didn't discover the film or this song until Alex Cox presented The Wicker Man as part of his Moviedrome series on BBC2 in 1988. Both left a lasting impression. youtu.be/cxRq0KzjxZI?...
- Recalling (& recreating) a spectacular set from Renegade Soundwave at the Ashton Court Festival in Bristol on a Saturday night in July 1996. One of the best gigs I've ever seen. dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/01/i-lo...

- #70sTop30 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Unranked and random, round 3 Beautiful Brother Of Mine: Curtis Mayfield (1971) I don't think this Curtis classic from the Roots album has popped up yet in this series and it's too good to pass over. youtu.be/TvWfsTBIJzU?...
- Kirsty Hawkshaw with a brilliant 12 minutes talking about Opus III's cover of It's A Fine Day and it's enduring relevance. And after yesterday's Banana (Splits) and today's apples, have I inadvertently started a fruit-based series..? dubhed.blogspot.com/2026/01/what...
