This week we have the right honourable Samuel Adam William Woodcraft Summerskill. Sam has fled the bosom of Portsmouth to set up shop in London and upon being asked to give a kind of biog, he came back with “…is, and has always been a twat. A loveable twat, but a twat none the less.”, I’m not sure I’m best placed to qualify that statement, but I do know his musical palate is rich and varied and certainly not for the weak-hearted. I don’t think more than a few days go by without a good recommendation from Sam, and it’s never less than interesting. So, here’s what he came up with…

“A selection of songs that i’ve been listening to whilst my mind wanders/wonders. I guess CAN is the only red herring as each of the others suggest travel or getting away and all, BUT… it’s maybe one of the best records ever so tricky not to include it. There is no particular order although i would suggest clicking the time button and starting with the shortest and ending up with the longest (technically highest), Marquee Moon, somewhere i’d like to go one day (the Moon that is)”
