Stuff Mixtape #30 is slightly shorter and tighter collection of random tunes that were in my ears during October 2024\. 

Here's why each of these amazing tunes made it into my playlist. 

- **Old Friend - Zaha de Sagazan & Tom Odell |** Stunning collaboration between two great voices, between French and English there is a euphoria I love here.
- **Santa Fe - Luke Sital-Singh & Lisa Hannigan |** Another great duet, two beautifully delicate voices combine to great effect.
- **Il Cielo in una stanza - Mina |** Vintage Italian stunner taken from the finale of an episode of Suburra.
- **Army Dreamers - The Last Dinner Party |** Classic Kate Bush tune gets a modern, live update from a previous Stuff favourite band.
- **Gumbri - Kaktus Einarsson & Damon Albarn |** Icelandic goodness featuring the hyper productive Blur singer.
- **Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves - Roisin O** | Another cover, this time from Ireland. Love this version of the Cher classic.
- **Better Off Alone - Midwife** | Eerie, ethereal rave classic cover.
- **Alone - The Cure** | Back, and sounding as awesome and gloom filled as ever.
- **Land of the Tyrants - Benefits and Zara Tønin** | Pulsating, angry dancefloor friendly.
- **Mum does the Washing - Joshua Idehen** | Not fully sure how to describe this, excellent explainer for political systems.
- **Neptunes - Kaitlyn Aurelis Smith & Joe Goddard** | Housey, bouncy electronica that lifts the spirits from start to finish.
- **Sunshine - Kelly Lee Owens** | Concert was postponed in Dublin, but newmusic will see us through until 2025\.
- **Feast - Sprints** | Dublin rock band, back with this urgent and noisy banger.
- **Do Nothing - The Specials** | Featured in a TV programme I can't quite remember, but a great reminder of how good The Specials were.
- **To conquer pain with Love - Mariam the Believer** | Fantastic torch song, other-worldly and reverent. Led me to an amazing album.
- **Mambo in Piscina - Piero Umiliani** | More vintage Italiana, great vibes for late night.
