1. If I Had You – Liza Minnelli – Liza unplugged and I haven’t heard the Songbook touched so delicately, so beauitiful. Liza’s best since Minnelli on Minnelli is her simplest… ever. Just apiano, a little studio touch up (small band all the way) and that glorious voice. TRACK OF THE WEEK.
2. Birds – Margot And the Nuclear So And So’s – An extended marriage proposal.
3. Tuff Enuff? – A synth snuff and a drum machine following it. Sounds old fashioned but it is only the beginning.
4. Young Love – Maximum Balloon – Those horns are magical. I don’t know why I am so surprised I love Sitek so much. I mean, I love TV On The Radio.
5. Empire State Of Mind – Glee Cast – What? You Ask. What? What? What? The back up doo wop harmonies are cute.
6.Candy – Frankie rose And the Outs
7. Bombay – Turzi – Primal Screamed
8. Cheerleader (Neon Indian and P-Orridge remix) – Grizzly Bear
9. Like A G6 – Far East Movement
10. Starnge Darkness – Christopher Paul Selling
