It's a gorgeous rainy day here and I have a box of records of my boy's that he has left with me for when he travels to Europe on Saturday. On the weekend I went over and helped him and his girl clean up their rental property, which has now gone down in legend as the place with 9 different sorts of wallpaper. The record player, of course, was the last thing to go, because the three of us had to rotate through vinyl, choosing an album when the last one had finished.

First on the turntable was Neu! - a 70's krautrock band. Love the rolling sound.. this track was great to clean the bathroom to:

Then it was the Stone's Beggar's Banquet, which was for the laundry cleaning, and a bit of hip shaking. This album reminds me of my Dad singing round the house on the weekends. No Mick Jagger, but lots of happiness.

Then it was Vintage Crop, a band my boy has played with a few times, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, which are an awesome Australian psych band, followed by The Savages, which is a great song (why would I chose I song I didn't think was great, right?)

We then moved on to The Clash, coz we had heard an interview on ABC with Don Letts who chose the Clash 'Know Your Rights' as his parting song. I love Guns of Brixton.

I'm super going to miss these two when they go to England!

But, I'm left with a box of vinyl that has all sorts of stuff in it, from psych soul to old blues to Motown to post punk to new garage. It'll be just like my boy is in the house.

To encourage tunes to land in the comments below, I'm going to throw in 1 SBI share for the tune that gets me the most. Do your best - I will utterly be judging this on a very subjective level, but that's music for you! My music tastes are pretty diverse and eclectic, so don't overthink it, and have fun.

Here's a last shot of that wallpaper - and goodbye to a house full of silver fish, peeling wallpaper, doors that don't shut and blocked drains.
