The Songs

This blog has a soundtrack that plays in my head while I write. Sometimes the song influences the post and sometimes the post influences the choice of song. Once in a while there is absolutely no connection between the 2 – Invariably in such cases the song is simply a good 1 and it forced its way into my headspace.

Here then is the soundtrack to Longworth72.com – Listed below are the songs (and the performers that I had in mind) and the Soups that they are matched to.

Just in case anyone is interested – The Beatles have 9 songs in the list, Bruce Springsteen features in 7 (6 with the E-Street Band), while David Bowie is in 7 (1 with Queen). Alt rock legends Weezer and Feist have 5 and 4 tunes apiece while Aussie song-smith Paul Kelly has 3 (1 with Kev Carmody). Brilliant musos, all of them.

Because this list is constantly evolving and because my old schoolin’ web designer of a mate Gav loves them so much I thought at this point that I’d insert the cheesiest graphic I could find:

See Gav – It has bevelled edges and it flashes. Classy, that is.
