Locked Groove


The Beatles were a bunch of jokers. Really. Dog whistles and locked grooves were their gags of choice. Their little prank at the tail end of the Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band record is the inspiration for the title of this blog. There isn't any deep meaning to it other than my desire to have vinyl records front and centre in my discussions, where they rightly belong. 


The modus operandi is (ostensibly) simple. I share themed playlists every week and hopefully provide you with some entertaining opinions (?!), interesting news (?!?) and feverish discussions about all that is VINYL. 


Given that it's February 14th, I'd like to kick start the playlists with a set of songs that should set a more...refined mood for this most saccharine of days. 


Sade - No Ordinary Love (Love Deluxe, 1992)




The Cars - Drive (Heartbeat City, 1984)




Radiohead - All I Need (In Rainbows, 2007)




The Cure - The Same Deep Water As You (Disintegration, 1989)




Bjork - Unravel (Homogenic, 1997)


Cocteau Twins - Lorelei (Treasure, 1984)



Kate Bush - The Sensual World (The Sensual World, 1989)



Hopefully you have enjoyed this selection of tunes. Feel free to tear these choices apart in the unmoderated and retribution-free comments section below, and to also suggest themes for future playlists if you found this one interesting enough to revisit The Locked Groove.
