In a fit of wild abandon, I’ve been treating myself to a few choice ‘hits’ from Woolworth’s digital download site. They’re things I have on tape, but not on CD (therefore useless in the MP3 world). They were picked largely for their loudness, their sing-along-in-the-carness, and were designed entirely for a road trip tomorrow where I have to get from Bristol to Chester in two and a half hours (be nice to me if you see me Mr Brunstrom!). The thing is, I’m not quite sure what they say about me…

• Velvet Underground – Venus In Furs
• Neil Young – The Needle And The Damage Done
• Neil Young – Hey Hey, My My (Live)
• Lou Reed – Walk On The Wild Side (Live)
• Black Sabbath – Iron Man
• David Bowie – Ziggy Stardust (Original Version)
• David Bowie – Life on Mars
• David Bowie – Changes
• –It Takes a strange turn at this point —
• T-Rex – Get It On (LP Version)
• The Sweet – Ballroom Blitz (from Wayne’s World Days, possibly)
• Slade – Mama Weer All Crazee Now
• Pink Floyd – Corporal Clegg
• Status Quo – Whatever You Want
• Status Quo – Rockin’ All Over The World
• MC Hammer – U Can’t Touch This
• James Brown – I Got You (I Feel Good) (Live)

Update: Stupid crappy website – the Woolworths site crashed whilst sorting out the licences to play the tracks, and now just tells me ‘These tracks are licenced to another PC, you IP has been logged’. Excellent work Woolworths. Still, they hope to respond to my problem in ‘around 72 hours’, so that’s okay then. I’ll just hum and play ‘I-spy’ against myself for two and a half bloody hours then!

[Update: One week on, it’s Friday the 17th, and I’ve been given a refund to go to Tesco with instead]
