No mention of the C-word, the GE words, or the B word this week. Nowt else either, except to say that pick of the week is La Roux and "Gullible Fool". I really like her voice, and she's always doing interesting things in the music.

This is the last playlist of the year, so hit repeat for the next few weeks, or head over to https://acloserlisten.com for their end of year lists.

Promised Land (Groove Armada Remix)

Shoppings storming lead single “Initiative”, taken from the forthcoming Album "All Or Nothing", was written in a Seattle basement. Like the album as a whole, the track thrums with purpose, marking a confident new phase for the band. Referencing governments who shirk responsibilities but place the blame on individuals, the song has a frustrated groove that’s propelling, motivated by necessity to keep going against the grain.

Day 7: Karate Boogaloo - Doing It To Death

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
