KEY SONGS IN THE LIFE OF
Seth Jackson
Managing Director,
[PIAS] Media
First record you remember buying?
Joe dolce Shaddap You Face on 7” single. Forgive me Ultravox fans, I was 7 years old.
Which song was (or would be) the 'first dance' at your wedding? Nina Simone, ‘my baby just cares for me’. A little cheesy but classic and timeless; Although I was so nervous at the time all I can remember was a feeling of terror and a pretty lady in a dress.
(A FAIR FEW) BOB-BY CARLTON Another year, another Midem, another handful of brain cells lost somewhere in the Carlton bar. If you ran your fingers down the back of their plush sofas and found nothing but regret, fear not, the Music Week paps were darting in and out of the shadows for the duration and we’ve got a yacht- load of photos to refresh your patchy memory. Victims of the flash this year included Absolute Marketing and Distribution MD Henry Semmence, Nielsen Soundscan’s Helena Kosinski and record producer Harry Cowell.
Favourite artist meeting of your life so far? Meeting your heroes is always awesome and a few spring to mind but my favourite artist meeting would have to be Imogen Heap as she is really mainlined into that crazy tech, magic dust world that I love.
Which track would you like played at your funeral? Well, presuming I’m dead at my funeral and won’t be listening, it seems a good opportunity to dish out some pain to the living. Perhaps a 9 minute mash up of various X factor winners and nickleback.
What's your karaoke speciality? I’ve done Karaoke once in my life and it was chosen for me: Sir Mix- a-lot ‘Baby got Back’. One of my most unpleasant memories a feeling I’m sure was shared by my audience.
Recommend a track Music Week readers may not have heard... The single mixes of Time to Run by Lord Huron have been on repeat in my car all over Christmas. It’s lovely and makes me feel like driving into the sunset.
What's your favourite single/track of all time? Only a strange kind of person can answer that with certainty.
