Best of 2021

We’re wrapping up the Take 5 for another year and even though 2021 still kept a lot of us apart, these conversations helped me find a community again. Maybe they did for you, too. We connected a lot over Zoom, we bonded over the music that made us who we are today, and we learned a whole lot more; not just about the guests who joined us to Take 5, but also about the songs and artists they picked.Every year around this time I like to share my favourites. It’s always hard to whittle it down, but in this episode you’ll hear from the conversations that floored me when I had them, and still resonate with me now. From across the world, and many different personal stories, here are some of my favourite moments of the Take 5 this year.Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (chosen by Shirley Manson)The Beatles - I Am the Walrus (chosen by Danny Elfman)The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (chosen by Ruby Wax)Hot Chip - I Feel Better (chosen by Tony Armstrong)Björk - Hyperballad (chosen by Julia Stone)Go-Betweens- Your Turn My Turn (chosen by Lindy Morrison)The Supremes - Stoned Love (chosen by Billy Bragg)Beverly Glen-Copeland - Ever New (chosen by Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine)
