1. Taken For A Fool (with Elvis Costello) – The Strokes – I saw him blow The Strokes off stage at MSG and now you can hear him do it. Julian sounds off handiest contemptuous Costello lethal and angry. It's the "I don't need anybody with me right now" that does it.

2. Oliver's Army – Elvis Costello And The Attractions – Speaking of lethal and angry: "Calendar Girl" played at a full tilt with protest lyrics smeared on top.

3. Drink In My Hand – Eric Church – The weekend starts here for a badass country rocker peaking.

4. Yeah right – Dionne Bromfeld

5. Otis – Kanye West And Jay-Z – I admire a lot of things about this, lot least the superb integration of the rap onto the sample. But the butchering of the theme is a complete downer.

6. Think Good Thoughts – Colbie Caillat – At her folkiest.

7. Unkind – Sloan

8. This City – Patrick Stump With Lupe Fiasco – Much better on paper.

9. Someone To Watch Over Me (Demo) – Amy Winehouse

10. Rhoda's Theme – Fall On Your Sword
