It’s all different down on the ranch, our best of list isn’t shared around a team, our favourite tracks are not popularised through single releases, Spotify playlists, or backhanders from major labels (we know you buy those top spots!), it’s just an honest wee list of the tracks that hit, mostly hidden in albums. I say that, but a few days working from home with 6Music on meant my ears were ambushed by those English Teacher and The Goa Express tracks!
