Annie Lennox - No More I Love You's

A cover apparently. But this is much better.

LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls

"Drunk Boys, They steal, they steal from the cupboards." True words those. Got a good bounce to it, this. Invigorating!

Bootsy Collins and the Cinncinnati Bengals - Fear Da Tiger

Bootsy Collins, a bunch of American football players and a man dressed as a tiger. The song performed by a sports team gets a bad rep, but you can't really go wrong with a line up like that.

The Charlatans - A Man Needs To Be Told

A few few years ago, I was working in a factory where the speakers where tuned to a fairly dreadful radio station. This track was high up ion the playlist for a long time though and it always brought a smile to my face as I pushed a useless broom around. Great falsetto and Piano hook.

Booze Party - Three Aces and a Joker

First you fill it up, then then you drink it down.
Again you fill it up, Again you drink it down.
First rate Rockabilly wisdom there.

Finley Quaye - Love Gets Sweeter Every Day.

Not the nicest of chaps Finley Quaye, but he made one rather nice album and this is a lovely cut from it. Great example of how a simple chorus can be very effective.

The Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection

Sometimes it's good to be obvious. Listening to this again one is reminded what a bowfin singer Ian Brown can be and what a bloody tremendous drummer Reni is.

Seth Lakeman - Kitty Jay

Dark and terrible folk music from the west country. Lakeman plays a right menacing fiddle. The roots of folk music are pretty grim generally and it's good when today's folkettes acknowledge that.

Freelance Hellraiser - A Stroke of Genius

Mash up magic.

Air - All I Need

Always my favourite track off Moon safari. And I count that album as a classic, one of the best of the past twenty years. Could could be made by Frenchman and is uniquely suited to lazy afternoons in the sun.

Nerina Pallot - Patience

Always had a soft point for this one.

Moby - Extreme Ways

Remember when Moby was a relevant part of the culture? I do. God I'm old. Anyway I've retained a soft spot for the tiny balding electro tinkerman and this song in particular. Not just because of it's role as a recurring motif in the excellent Bourne movies either.

Har Mar Superstar - Tall Boy

Of Har Mar Superstar didn't look like Ron Jeremy would he get any media attention at all? Is it just his oddity that has granted him a career? Perhaps but this is still quite good and the video has Maebe Bluth in it.

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

Another one that's grown on me. Rubbish beard though.

Macy Skipper - Bop Pills

Stop drop and roll kids. Stop drop and roll.

Credance Clearwater Revival - Run Through The Jungle

Not one key change in this whole song. Interesting.

The Byrds - Jesus Is Just Alright With Me

Psychedelic Jesus is my favorite Jesus.

LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out

Don't call it a come back.

Fruit Bats - When U Love Somebody

What I like about this is, it's simple. Yet there seems to be more to it each time I listen.

Starship - We Built This City

Fuck you.
