2. Laura – Bats For Lashes – Best line: "Your name is tattoed on every boy's skin" Grade: A-
3. Fetieki Lie – The Rohu Band – The horns on this great Ethiopian band from the 1980s is somewhere between soul and disco and the voice the sound of soul but not Black American soul – Grade: A
4. That's Just What You Are – Aimee Mann – Back when she did over fucking arrange everything – Grade: A
5. Lady Marmalade – Irma Thomas – New Orlaneas soul… kitchy kitchy koo – Grade: B
6. Get Free – Major Lazer – This is as original as dance gets, its fused with soul and Brooklyn indie – Grade: B+
7. I'm Not Okay… I Promise – My Chemical Romace – Back before Gerard came to the mistaken conclusion he played garage rock and blew it big time – Grade: A+
8. Lord Knows – Dum Dum Girls – They still suck live, but this starts as a Sonic Youth-y reverb before becoming a pretty good power pop song – Grade: B
9. Teenage Icon – The Vaccines – Finally some new stuff which sounds amazingly like the old stuff – Grade: B
10. Oh Love – Green Day – This is just the worst – Grade: D+
