1. New York City (Linus Remix) – Ramona – Killer dance remix. Simultaneously moodier and all four on the floor.
2. Hot Fun Summertime – Sly and the Family Summertime feat Bootsy Collins – I keep writing, yeah, everybody knows this, but when was the last time you listened to it. A terrific song as well.
3. Love You Like A Love Song – Selena Gomez And The Scene – Excellent excellent excellent pop song. This deserves to be huge.
4. Bring The Light – Beady Eye – My buddy Larry Lachman thinks they are Oasis Lite. And they are. But not here.
5.. The First Time I Saw Jupiter – Fall On Your Sword – I can't wait to see "Another Earth" again.
6. 1+1 – Beyonce – Can this song be any better? And I don't get the Prince references at all. Prince has written a song this good this century. It completely turned me round on "Umbrella" guy The Dream.
7. Untold Stories – Buju Banton – How did this happen. As Alyson writes in a post coming up in a coupla days, he is guilty but he was entrapped.
8. Remember My Name – Fucked Up – They have a name for this, classic rock. The intro? They owe Townsend royalties.
9. Shine My Girl – Black Uhuru
10. Like They Always Do – Total Babes – It sounds like it was recorded underwater and, for male oriented lo fi with a male singer, it is oddly liquidy.
