[Friday On The Turntable] Suede - Bloodsports

Welcome to this week's Friday On The Turntable feature! For those of you that follow my blog on Facebook, you'll recall that each Friday I post a featured record that I'm currently enjoying. To enhance the experience, I've been filming short videos - discussing a brief history of the record, my favorite tracks and what it means to me. The video is embedded below - and don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel here.

This week's featured album is Bloodsports, the excellent new album from the reunited Suede / London Suede. Please enjoy, and feel free to leave me your thoughts on this record. Thanks for watching! Purchase link below the video. :)

The London Suede. The 20 Best Songs

If you're sad that you're missing the recently-reunited Suede at Coachella this Saturday - their first American appearance since 1997 - then this is for you. In a couple of months, Suede will be reissuing their entire catalog with 3-disc expanded editions of every album: Suede, Dog Man Star, Coming Up, Head Music and A New Morning. Each album contains 2 CDs and a DVD with lots of bonus content.

* Since this post was made, Suede have released two wonderful albums - 2013's Bloodsports & 2016's Night Thoughts.

So, without further delay, I submit my choices for the Best Songs of Suede. As always, it's difficult to put one of these together - so many great songs get left out. Please feel free to comment below.
