As a self-confessed music nerd, I’m sure it’ll be no surprise to know that I’m a huge fan of a sample when it comes to music. My love for samples is definitely something I’ve touched upon before on here but…I’ve never actually shared my favourites with you. Since there’s no time like the present,...
For a lot of us it seems as though daily walks have become a newly-discovered essential part of our day. A moment of calm in the midst of all the madness that’s happening right now. And a moment when we get to head out and get some much needed fresh air. I know that...
Well…it had to be done didn’t it? You didn’t seriously think that I’d make it to the last Legend Slot post of 2020 without featuring The Beatles did you? What kind of Scouser would I be if I didn’t! This is the twelfth post in my ongoing music blog series The Legend Slot. For...
It’s once again officially the time of year where I expose my music taste from the last 365 days (…are you ready?). Sharing my top 100 most listened to songs of the year (according to Spotify Wrapped) has become a bit of a tradition here on F O and so, despite the chaotic year...
For the eleventh legendary artist in The Legend Slot we’re talking all things country with Dolly Parton. It only made sense that the month that Dolly released her ‘Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square’ Netflix film would be the month that I included her in this series! So I listened to all 47 of...

That’s most likely...
We’re getting our groove on this month with the ninth playlist in The Legend Slot. Funk, disco, soul and jazz are just a few of the genres you can use to describe this month’s artist…Earth, Wind & Fire. Earth, Wind & Fire: A Brief History Founded in 1969 in Chicago by Maurice White, Earth,...
After the absolute marathon that was listening to almost 500 Prince tracks last month I felt like I needed to keep it simple this month. I wanted something fun, light and upbeat as it can be quite a task listening to 30 odd albums in depth each month. So I went ahead and chose...
For the seventh playlist in The Legend Slot I’m continuing on with the theme of royalty. We had Queen last month but now it’s time for funk legend Prince. Prince: A Brief History Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1958, Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson) was a singer-songwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker who was regarded...
