A really rocking playlist from Justin.
I love the playlist being kicked off with Harry Nilsson's 'Gotta Get Up.' Immediately engaging and sets the tone.
It reminds me of the opening of one of my favorite albums, Blackalicious' Blazing Arrow. The title song follows an intro track and is effectively the first proper song on the album.
Built around a sample from another Harry Nilsson song, 'Me and My Arrow,' it matches the persistent single-note style and hooks you into the album.
The playlist also features two of my favorite Kinks cuts, 'You Really Got Me' and 'Shangri-La,' which, come to think of it, may have been introduced to me by this mix back in 2004.
When you notice the difference in sounds between even these two songs, I am so curious to hear what new Kinks might sound like. Which may no longer be a hypothetical, as Ray Davies teases in this Channel 4 interview.
