Make You Fall In Love With me – Bret Dennen – I am a day away from buying his fourth album Loverboy, and I may go even further back in time. Well arranged, power pop singer-songwriter light. TRACK OF THE WEEK
Old Alabama (feat Alabama) – Brad Paisley – A hard country rocker and it makes its point, that Alabama are somfabitches, then takes a breather and assaults you with fiddle break, then kicks your tush with a fake ending and ends up qith a quiet word of advise.
I Wrote The Book – Beth Ditto – Mary magpie assaulted disco the other day, but Trammps, while exemplifying a mainstream disco, were not Chic. Chic were disco as artistry and Beth Ditto as learnt from them, on this superb disco stomper.
Young Forever – The Ready Set – A touch discofied here as well -nice little dance number.
Better Off – Foo Fighters – Average cruncher
Try To Sleep – Low – Slow, sweet and moody, limey indie band lives up to its name.
Red Nation (feat Lil Wayne) – Game – Game spits better than he has in used, and Weezy has another triumphant (best lie? "I can't tell you what's good but I can tell you what's what)
Make Some Noise – Beastie Boys – They haven't missed a step, unfortunately. Following the blueprint to the letter this is BB ordinaire.Up to and including the title… but at least they aren't extolling the virtues of the dalai Lama.
Who You Are – Jessie J – Pretty good ballad from the limey girl who would be Princess.
