1. Julie – Bobby Fuller Marshall Crensshaw once completely nailed a cover of this terrific love song… and Fuller’s was still better. A highlight of the early 60s from a serious loss to rock and roll.
2. Ny First, My Last, My Everything – Barry White – What White did was make monogy sexy, he made pure love a sexual appetite. Which, if it aint, your love affair ain’t gonna last.
3. Always Crashing In the Same Car – David Bowie – On the heels of Ramona’s excellent cover, the original is a little more obstreperous than I remember it being.
4. The Heimrich Maneuver – Interpol – The false ending is stupid but a relatively bright little rocker.
5. The Comet – Bjork – I still can’t figure out why this haunting and strange song -all basso and flutes, is for kids. Still love it.
6. Steve McQueen – Ramona – About his cock.
7. Fuck You – Cee Lo
8. Check It Out – Will I Am and Nicki Minaj – Pure pop for now people.
9. Summer Girls – LFO – A soft, nostalgic look back at a girl now gone (“I like Kevin Bacon but I hate footloose” -the sad punchline). “When I saw you I said my name is Rich…”
10. Two Different Worlds – Afrobeta – Real lively at International Playground Friday, really hot here.
