For Your Consideration: Playlists

What we are gonna do right here, is go back, way back.

So, these songs and this playlist reminds me of the following - Top of the Pops, my 9th Birthday anthem (Nevada Rollerskating Ring Bolton), a school trip to Wales, Wendy James and a first crush, posters on my wall, John Bender and English classes in H Block. Some are obvious links, some not and I know the words to all of them…..
