1 – The World Ender – Lord Huron – I dismissed this out of hand the other day but more out of pique that it wasn’t “Fool For Love” than anything personal, a coupla more listens and it reveals itself as a twangy West meets rockabilly song with a very tasty drum roil – B+

3 – Jay Z – Goodbye Tomorrow – Yup, those names just keep on dropping Last month it was Drake and Madonna, back in the day H20 and right here and now, the big kahuna gets a shout out on this trippy hip hop – B+
4 – True Zero – Cancer Bats – Very loud metalcore (not punk)
5 – (My Baby Does) Good Sculpture – The Rezillos – Coolest love song, with an addictive lick and the best reason for true love around – A
6 – The Singer Not The Song – Alex Chilton – Completely nails it – A
7 – Rip This Joint – The Rolling Stones – They let it rock – A+
8 – Full House – Nick Catchdubs – Heems on this, and what’s with that sample? – B+
9 – Miss You – The Rolling Stones – Made them relevant one more time – A+
