Flycasual's - Best of 2015

2015 - There has been a reawakening....have you felt it?

Sfw, Shell Hunter and I after the first showing of the Force Awakens.

Work, kids, mopping the floor and combined with a hint of can't be botheredness has left the blog somewhat 'rudderless'. It is thanks to the musings of Old Pa that it has been kept afloat, so hats off to you for staying at the helm. Although, as always, the music has been great, it has suffered as a result as I used to rely on my fellow bloggers for those musical gems which always used to fill up my best of's the year and the whole point of starting the blog in the first place. I'm back like Rocky V!

Tobias Jesso Jr - 'How Could You Babe'

He sounds like Lennon, my wife doesn't like him....win win! A beautifully crafted painful song of love and despair, we have all been there. Taken from the Canadian's excellent debut album he almost never made!

Action Bronson - 'Baby Blue' feat Chance the Rapper

Soulful Hip Hop is what I'm all about, this has it in abundance! Funny, witty and smooth from New York's rapping chef.

Sleaford Mods - 'Tarantula Deadly Cargo'

Goodness knows how many times I've played this track, simple, effective and with that bassline I defy you not to bob your head.

Jamie XX - 'Loud Places' feat Romy

Without doubt my track of the year, from the moment I first heard it. Dark yet uplifting from JamieXX's impeccable production, Romy's hushed vocals to the gospel like chorus. And it has skating in the video!

Songhoy Blues - 'Sekou Oumarou'

Magnificent track from the Desert Blues punks, bringing something a little different to the table. Taken from the Malian's debut album, 'Music in Exile'.
