Motown-obsessed DJ/producer guy Mark Ronson swung by Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show recently armed with a five-minute mix chock-full of ADD music geekery. The ‘minimix’ samples nearly 40 tunes in just over five minutes, stringing snippets of original songs next to cover Versions from the ’50s to those of his own remixing (including a couple of “Hit Me Baby One More Time”s, some Bananarama, and the requisite Motown splash of “Tears Of A Clown”). We came across a list of all the artists/cuts he snags, so here’s the game. First, download…
