Songs update

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion

I'm not really a big fan of Yeah Yeah Yeahs but i've been listening to this stomping rock number, from their second album, after catching it on the BBC's coverage of Glastonbury. Gold Lion is a powerful head nodder from the colourful Karen O and company.


The Cribs - Baby Don't Sweat

The Cribs are fast becoming my favourite indie band.
Their self title debut contains a whole number of
infectious choruses and Baby Don't Sweat
is just one i've singled out.




Michael Jackson - Baby Be Mine

Only fitting really to include one from Michael.
Overlooked on the Thriller album in my view,
Baby Be Mine is a funky RnB disco groove.


Jamie T - Sticks 'n' Stones

I've missed out on seeing Jamie T twice this year,
last night it would have been free which i am gutted
about. Sticks 'n' Stones has been out for a while now
and thankfully Mr T returns with the wit and charm
of the local lad, combining his speedy raps with
strangely appealing out of tune hooks.



Mos Def - Priority

Short track from Mos Def's new album The Ecstatic.
Relatively simply piano keys and drum loops evolve to
give Mos Def a platform to showcase his typically cool
delivery. A nod and a wink to his native Brooklyn
with just a sprinkling of a faux-Jamaican accent sprinkled
on top makes this well worthy of a few repeat listens.
