Chop’s Journal - 19 Jul 2020

I’m seriously running behind with these posts so actually writing this in early August & struggling to remember what, if anything, happened this week.


I did contribute to The London Ukulele Project’s charity single in a very small way. I recorded a very short piece of audio & video to help them create a chorus of over 100 ukes at the end of their version of “With A Little Help From My Friends”. You can see me in the video too.

Music I’m enjoying


The Beths’ second album has been dominating my album listening this week. It’s an absolute joy and put a smile on my face every time I played it. 





Occasional Top Fives


Maybe this will be a fortnightly thing in between the A2Z lists. Not sure but I’ll see how it goes. This topic proved to be a good one with loads of different songs making a corking playlist which I’ve linked to below. This one wasn’t my idea so big thanks to @sharkastic for the suggestion. 


▪️ Top 5 Songs that mention other artists 

  1. Why Do They Never Play Les Savy Fav On The Radio?
  2. Daft Punk Is Playing At My House - LCD Soundsystem or Losing My Edge
  3. I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone - Sleater-Kinney 
  4. They Say I’m Different - Betty Davis
  5. History Lesson Part 2 - The Minutemen
