1. Default – Atoms For Peace – This has been getting mixed reviews but I like it a lot more than Radio: it is a percolated ping pong beat with Thom's discombobulated vocal and not much more. And that is plenty – Grade: B+

2. King Of The World – First Aid Kit – Conor's verse is a real treat, he is having a pretty good year – Grade: B

3. … And Ever – Titus – The single best song since it was released – Grade: A+

4. Groundhog Dead – Corin Tucker – Can't wait to see her at tiny Mercry Lounge next week – Grade: A

5. Domino – Roy Orbinson – Rockabilly raver plus that voice – Grade: A

6. When You Walk In The Room – Jackie DeShannon – Cuts the Searchers because the vocal is immeasurably great.

7. Applesauce – Animal Collective – Best song on the album has the disconnect of a dream that keeps changing direction – Grade: A
