I Forgot To Be Your Lover


William Bell's "I forgot to be your lover is one of my favorite songs of all time, I don't know how to explain it but there seems to be some sort of magic about the song itself, a magic that doesn't allow anyone who rerecords it to mess it up. Seriously, there really isn't a bad version of the song. I mean some are better than others but they all have a quality to them that can't be said about re-recordings of other songs. Now I really only know of 18 versions so I can't speak to versions that I don't know about but I'll bet you they're at least listenable, probably. Any ways I put together a small comp of my favorite versions including ones from Robert Cray, Al Kooper, and Paulette Reaves. At this time I should point out Mad Lads Cover is nothing short of epic, also there are more than a few reggae/rocksteady versions of the song highlighted by Shenley Duffus & The Soul Avengers version straight from the Lee "Scratch" Perry camp.


The songs biggest success was realized in form of Billy Idol's 1986 version , featuring rolling piano riffs and gospel like back ground singers, truly amazing. Any ways here are 13 of my favorite versions, enjoy.

Top Choons Of 2012

OK, Here we go again with another year of stellar releases. I waded through the all my new music folders from 2012 (12 folders 700+ tracks) and narrowed it down to the 80 or so songs here. There were many tracks that could have been on this list and to be honest I much rather of had a top 150 but who has the time, lol. The Big Winners of the year were Julio Bashmore who had the the top choon 2 years in a row and Disclosure who just dominated this year, make sure to check their EP, also check for Tom Wrecks massive remix of "Tenderly". Other notables were perennial favorites Storm Queen (Morgan Geist), Tensnake, Burial, Todd Terje, Recloose, and ATJAZZ. This years list has Hip Hop! which I pretty much wrote off last year aside from the Kanye/Jay Z tracks. On that note I should mention that Kanye's "Mercy" and Big Sean "Clique" were massive for me last year but were not included on the mix because of time constraints, lol, 6 hours of mixes I probably could've squeezed them in...ok I was just being lazy! Anyways, this list is by no means a reflection of the current state of affairs, its just a mix of shit that I liked and to be honest its a much more selfish list than previous years as it's not influence by the stuff that i played or got crowd reactions, it's just me :) As always big up to the Paul E, Jason Palma, Dave Campbell, Techtwelve, Andrew Allsgood, Tony Lanz as their influence over the years has ultimately shaped the entity that is Tull'ski... haha how dramatic! I gonna change my dj name to The Entity! Happy New Year!
