by the time you read this... I'll have changed my mind


	Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra Album: Eldorado	The soundtrack to our holidays. It reminds me of being 12 years old and spending a couple of weeks at my grandparents. Happy days.

	Wildflowers by Tom Petty Album: Wildflowers	The book (Conversations With...) in my book list led me to investigating the less-obvious (to me) parts of the Tom Petty catalogue. I think I may well have found a new album to put into my Top 20. Check in with me next summer and I'll tell you if it passes the 'chilling by the pool' test.

	I Told Her On Alderaan by Neon Neon Album: Stainless Style	Led by Gryff from the Super Furry Animals. Neon Neon proves that the 80s had some cracking songs and sounds. Where else are you going to get songs about DeLorean ?

	On A Day Like This by Elbow Album: The Seldom Seen Kid	If this doesn't move you in a positive way. You're already dead.

	Paris Is Burning by Ladyhawke Album: Ladyhawke	An Australian (I think) artist who writes and records some great retro 80s synth & guitar driven pop.

	Small World by Roddy Frame Album: Surf	Used as the theme tune for the BBC show 'Early Doors'. What an amazing song. It brought be back to Roddy Frame who I had lost sometime around latter-day Aztec Camera.

	Airwaves by Thomas Dolby Album: The Golden Age of Wireless	When I bought my first CD player this was one of the first 2 CDs I bought. Cost me a week's wages. Worth every penny.

	God Only Knows by The Beach Boys Album: Pet Sounds	Yeah I know it's a cliche. So sue me. Listen to this and then try telling me that there's no hope.

	Average Man by Simple Kid Album: 2	He's from Ireland you know. I saw most of his gig last year but had to leave because I was ill. He's doing something I'd like to do. Mashing up stuff into great pop songs and using his laptop on stage to drive the music and project videos to accompany him.

	What U Gonna Do by Jim Noir Album: Jim Noir	BBC 6music guided me toward Jim Noir on his first album 'Tower of Love'. He's a one-man pop machine from the north of England.
