1.Boom – Wild Flag – WF have two subjects, music and romance, this is the latter and a smart, sexy and clever angular art rock attack on the subject.

2. Happy Rovin' Cowboy – Hank Williams –  His theme song? Off the new release The Legend Begins and I don't know who is excavating all this stuff but they are doing God's work.

3. Girlie Girlie – Sophia George – This is so much fun, it feels like a novelty track.

4. You Can't Put Your Arms Round A Memory – Johnny Thunders – Always a poignant song and only more so with the passing of time.

5. Rock N Roll With It – Billy Burnette – The "Marie Marie" star is a true rockabilly great, this is timeless stufff.

6. Pass At Me – Timbaland feat Pitbull – This makes it all the way. Timbaland's best work in years.

7. All My Rage – Laura Marling – Sounds like straight up folk. Best song on a disappointing album.

8. Careless Love – Wynton Marsalis And Eric Clapton – New Orleans I can hear, Clapton takes a back seat to the horns.

9. House for Sale – Nick Lowe

10. Victoria – Shane Macgowan – Rhymes with "opium euphoria".
