1. Sour Times – The Civil Wars – Are we sure these guys weren’t married? I really think they may have been. This outtake from the dear departed last album has something of the Kills about it but more acoustic. Fabulous, of course – A

2. Doncamatic feat Daley – Gorillaz – Daley’s voice is killer, say what you will dbout Damon, he made a good call here – B+

3. MFN – Cibo Matto – Nursery rhymes for weirdos, really pleasant tweaky strangeness – B+

4. Northern Exposure – Cheatahs – Loud ambient fuzz erupts into song and back – B+

5. Hundreds Of Ways – Conor Oberst – It is now official: Conor is not god but he is still pretty good though the album will have to tell us if he has the chops to pull off another “Cape Canaveral” – B+

6. Up A Lazy River – Louis Armstrong – Wow, Armstrongs solo after the first verse! – A

7. Burning Bridges For Fuel – Nina Persson – About as good as the verse that fuels it – B

8. You Are My Lucky Star – Gene Kelly And Debbie Reynolds – Classic romance song, I’ve been known to croon it to my gal from time to time – A+

9. Billie Jean – The Civil Wars – Yes, that Billie Jean – A

10. I Hate Everything – The Queers – Who doesn’t? – A
