As follow-up to 2016’s HotSpotify 366 challenge, for which I added one special song each day to a Spotify playlist, I created Henk-Jan’s soundtrack to 2017 in Spotify. A memorable song each day. A retrospective on the past 10 days.
Wednesday 21 June: Leon Else – What I Won’t Do

Thursday 22 June: Bronski Beat & Lorie Madison – Smalltown Boy – Classic Mix
This is a perfect example of #throwbackthursday. As a teenager, I was the proud owner of a Toshiba HX-10 MSX computer. Its 3-channel sound card could be programmed, and guess what was one of the first tracks I was able to play on this computer? Bronski Beat‘s Smalltown Boy. And here’s the original 1984 video clip too.
