1.Hello, Dolly! – Barbra Streisand And Louis Armstrong – A helluva long preamble to get to the heart of the matter,  Babs and Armstrong's love fest. It all sounds just wonderful -if you watch the movie, that minute makes it worth your while. Barbra sounds genuinely pleased to be singing with her equal, almost giggling. And wait till you hear how Armstrong scats on lap!

2. Turn Up The Music – Chris Brown – if the art is good enough, I will ignore the wretched character of the purveyor of the art. This isn't close to good enough.

3. Parted Ways – Heartless Bastards – Sounds like Tom Petty with a bit more twang in its tale.

4. Comfortable Swagg – Jon B – First of two soul men today. This is an excellent r&b slash dance number, marred by a very average production.

5. Share My Love – R. Kelly – Another guy with the personality of a cowardly Jack the Ripper and the second soul man today. This isn't the worst song you'll hear all you but it isn't much either.

6.Tip Of the Iceberg – For Science – Still well buzzed from the concert.

7. Neat Neat Neat – The Damned

8. Neat Neat Neat – Elvis Costello And The Attractions – Fellow Stiff records employee, has sax will travel.

9. Pale Blue Eyes – The Kills – Not bad but Jesus, talk about a played out song.

10. Reunion – M83 – When you get past "Midnight City", this is where you find yourself.
