If more folk did this instead of going to the Nuremberg rallies...sorry, X-Factor auditions...the country would be in a better state. And I do genuinely do believe that.
Oh, Victoria....

29 years young...
That's right. Another year bites the dust. Still, as I'm feeling less than creative right now and the need to rant is pretty minimal, I thought I'd just big up some top tracks that have collectively got my metaphorical musical mojo aflame. Ahem.
The Pipettes - Pull Shapes (We are the Pipettes. 2006)
Wonderfully delicious and delightful surf-pop girly harmonies coupled with the kind of pop-nous that makes you realise that Pop music, when done properly, can trump everything else in attaining the perfect high.
The Pipettes - Pull Shapes
Ladytron - International Dateline (Witching Hour, 2006)
A stripped back synth-bassline throbs underneath a starightforward drum loop and slowly creeps into the consiousness with menacing aplomb. Oh, dear, it's in your head already isn't it?
Ladytron - International Dateline
The Charlatans - Weirdo (Between 10th and 11th, 1992)
If you want to suvive Madchester and keep up the shindig well into Britpop then just play with the formula a bit. The heaviest Hammond Organ riff ever as an intro? Ok then.
The Charlatans - Weirdo
Municipal Waste - Lunch Hall Food Brawl (The Art of Partying, 2007)
The possible result of youthful 80s Thrashers being placed in stasis with a steady support of Thrash, weed, Thrash, zombie films and a bit of Thrash and being let loose in the new millenium with some updated music tech. Possibly.
Municipal Waste - Lunch Hall Food Brawl
The Saints - Know Your Product (Eternally Yours, 1978)
Not-quote-Punk Aussie Punksters with added doses of horns and groove. Never that big so you can big up these lost treasures and be all elitist-like.
