Black Horse and the Cherry Tree – KT Turnstall – Oh, dear. This is a very ordinary piece of blues estrogen product and only in the UK could it have broken her big. She sounds like a blues singer who doesn’t like the blues.
The Projects – Wu Tang Clan – From Forever and it reminds me why they essentially couldn’t maintain it. Raekwon in the house but only wakes up when Ghostface steals it.
Wake Up Call – Marron 5 – Adam Levine and where the fuck is he? I caught the band at MSG on the final night of the Won’t be Long tour but that was years ago. Sorta a modern Hall and Oates with hip hop production.
Breakin’ Up (Hot Chip remix) – Rilo Kiley – It was exactly at thios second I lost interest in the LA poseurs.
I’m Waiting For The Day (Vocals) – The Beach Boys – From the Pet Sounds Session and I know I’m coming over all Nessing here but this gives LA a good name. It’s the background harmonies sure, but really it’s carl.
Left Behind – Jonathan Groff – The problem with second league songs off first league broadway musicals is they are still second league… even if Duncan Sheik wrote the music.
Seed – Sublime – OTiS soundalikes
Two Bass Hit – Davis And Coltrane – Tell the drums to shut the fuck up
Sodomy – Peter Straker – Not quite as shocking anymore…
All Of Me – Ella Fitzgerald – Swings sweet for a three piece
The Myth Of Fingerprints – Paul Simon – Isn’t this the one he stole off Los Lobos? The lyric is sure his.
Trapped In A Box – No Doubt – Sounds like Avril Lavigne
C Is The Heavenly Option – Los Campesinos – The greatest nursery rhyme ever written (by a band named heaven by the way)
LOL 🙂 – Treyz Songz – Sure he sucks live, this song is still both nasty and nice.
Holiday – Madonna – Before there was Lady Gaga
I Didn’t Know It At The Time – The Jamey Johnson song. A goodie.
Off The Hook – The Rolling Stone – I don’t think I wanna discuss music who haven’t heard the Stones from 1964 – 1972 and love it. If they don’t dig that, why bother with em?
