Maybe another way would have been better (Eclectic Playlist Series 10.9)

Hop-skipping as usual through the decades and musical styles, I seem to have unconsciously leaned in the direction of "interesting juxtapositions" this time around. There's Lana Del Rey into "Telstar," for one, and "Telstar" into Depeche Mode, for another. The opening duo is another sort of juxtaposition, offering power pop from 30 years apart, back to back. Then there's the offbeat sense made from Carole King leading into Jill Scott, or Veruca Salt into that luscious Lydia Luce song. And what to make of Elvis Costello into Buddy Holly? I didn't adjoin them on purpose but realized afterwards how much Elvis in his early incarnation was identified with his Buddy Holly glasses and wardrobe. I was instead going here for comparing and contrasting the pre-rock'n'roll vibe of the Elvis song with the early rock'n'roll potency of Buddy Holly's (posthumous) release.

And there's more, as you'll see. More info at https://fingertipsmusic.com/?p=24573; full playlist in the comments.
