keep yourself warm
This week: in a bid to combat the realisation that Halloween and Bonfire Night are over and there's still eight weeks of sucky weather till Christmas, LOTD proffers a selection of feel-good material. None of yer tooth-rotting Hallmark-sentiment pish, though - instead, a schizophrenic back'n'forth between material bound to get even the whitest of white boys up and bouncin' from Jay-Z and Ol' Dirty Bastard, and songs that understand how sometimes the best consolation comes from just knowing that other people are somehow surviving too; songs like those found on this week's #1 Record, Richard and Linda Thompson's "I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight". Bridging the gap between the two is the Sufjan Stevens/Gift Of Gab mash-up the world's been waiting for. For real.
