Some girls

1. Dull Tool – Fiona Apple – The highlight of her Beacon Theater concert stands up as a major find hidden as an album only track on This Is 40, which kinda makes sense as it isn’t about libidos out of control but rather very much in control – A

2. Sleep To Dream – Fiona Apple – This woman was born with the gift as this early bluesy number proves while it raises hell – A

3. Fuckin’ Problems – A$AP Rocky – Everybody got together for this one, yeah Drake and Kendrick and the reason is because it is the catchiest track “I Don’t Like” – A-

4. I Don’t Like – Chief Keef – The great thing about this is that it is a dirty “Song Sung Blue” -you can add anything in the world to do, maybe like “GivePeace A Chance”… it’s just endless – A

5. Speedway – Morrissey – Saved from obscurity on his last (final?) tour, it has improved with age – A

6. Reflektor – Arcade Fire – Seven minutes of an AF-LCD mind meld – A

7. Headlines – Drake – Should keep you nice and easy till Sunday’s gig – A

8. Saved These Words – Laura Marling – Her purest love song and even this turns back on itself, and you can hear her pick every note – A

9. Walking On Air – Katy Perry – The clearaest expression of a dance sensibility on her new album – B+

10. Safe And Sound – Taylor Swift – With the Civil War, it has grown into itself over time – A
