Thirty Eight Special

Today is my 38th birthday, and by way of celebration I am posting a compilation of thirty eight tracks that I think say something about the kind of music that I like and where I'm coming from. I can guarantee that you will find something you like on here. If you do, please let me know in the comments section. Many of these artists are in line to be featured in the next few weeks and months, all being well. I've split the tracks into four categories, with two bonus tracks to make a round number. I'm going to post half this week and the other half next Sunday if I get a positive response. Enjoy!

Disc One - Keep It Covered
  1. Guy Chadwick - Fall In Love With Me (covering David Bowie)
  2. Wilson Phillips - Go Your Own Way (covering Fleetwood Mac)
  3. Somegirl - The Model (covering Kraftwerk)
  4. Sandra - Such A Shame (covering Talk Talk)
  5. Mandy Moore - Senses Working Overtime (covering XTC)
