SONG #7 CHIENFANTOME Juliette Armanet, Flamme Some of you may remember Juliette Armanet from our “Best of the 20th century” countdown. She has such a beautiful voice, it’s pure as crystal. And here, she puts her voice at the service of a funky song that makes you wanna dance, with a terrific intro ...

#9 Chien - Widowspeak - Really liked this. I've heard many singers with this voice, but I've liked them all for the most part. JohnErle - Cactus Blossoms - Pleasant and instantly forgettable. Leestu - Wet Leg - Quirky, filthy fun. Ron B - Doja Cat - Never liked her, still don't. I did like her attem...

SONG #8 CHIENFANTOME Adé, Tout savoir Adé is the lead singer of a group called Therapie Taxi. I truly discovered her with a duet she made with Benjamin Biolay a couple of years ago. She made a solo album in 2022 most of you would probably find very French but that has, you will hear in this song an...

SONG #9 CHIENFANTOME Widowspeak, True Blue I discovered Widowspeak a bit by chance on the radio. There is a softness and a melancholy that touched me in their music, that is best exemplified in this delicate tune that is True Blue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDdn7TuKL7o JOHNERLE The Cactus Blos...

#10 Chien - Lambchop (no Shari Lewis??) - Never got the 007 vibes, even at the beginning. It felt rather more like the soundtrack of a schmaltzy 1950's black and white movie. My feelings toward this pretty much echo John's. (As for the other thing - the link you sent me didn't work when I posted, so...

Last summer I even found myself enjoying a reggae song. Maybe one day I'll not want to puke whenever I hear UB40.

As someone who has seen UB40 in concert FIVE times since 1985... ouch.

Top Ten Time!! SONG #10 CHIENFANTOME Lambchop, His Song is Sung Here’s a strange song. The very first notes make you think this is the new 007 song, but this sentiment quickly fades away. It slowly turns into a classical tune, with piano, and you think it’s gonna be a music only track. And suddenly ...

JohnErle - Dead Tongues - Very pleasant. Enjoyed it.

Leestu - Sprints - A lot to like here, but not enough to make me want to listen again.

Six - Viagra Boys - I kinda liked this.

Tranny - The Smoke - I definitely like this. Again.

SONG #11 JOHNERLE The Dead Tongues, Pawnshop Dollar Bills This is a song of two halves, and while I like both, it's the long instrumental jam at the end that makes this song rank close to my top 10 instead of further down the list. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFAvQbepTkE LEESTU Sprints, Delia Sm...

#13 JohnErle - Companion Piece - This was quite lovely. Leestu - Lemon Curry? - I just can't get into anything this genre produces. Can't really pinpoint why. Six - Where There's Arcade Smoke - I haven't heard the controversy... what's the lowdown? Sounds ugly, whatever it is. Anyway, song was decen...

David Crosby, formerly of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (and Young), has passed at the age of 81.

SONG #12 JOHNERLE Jamestown Revival, These Days I love those harmonies, and the kick in the drums. The rest of the album is a bit too country for my tastes, but this song lands right in my folky Americana sweet spot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xUH_O9nAQ4 LEESTU Black Country, New Road, Haldern...

SONG #13 JOHNERLE Companion, How Could I Have Known? Two sisters? Check. Gentle, acoustic folk? Check. Beautiful harmonies? Check. No, it's not First Aid Kit but a new band called Companion featuring twin sisters. Lovely stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BRLDlJQv8U LEESTU Denzel Curry, Walkin ...

#14 JohnErle - Amanda Hugginkiss - Clever rhyme scheme and great use of violin, but... weird AF. Leestu - Fountains of D.C. - I am pretty much convinced that I'm never gonna be a fan of this band. Six - DITZ, SCHLITZ - After reading your description, I thought I was in for a treat. Parts of it were ...

SONG #14 JOHNERLE Amanda Palmer, Surface Pressure I haven't seen Encanto , so I had no idea this was a cover at first, and even after seeking out the original I vastly prefer this Amanda Palmer version. When you strip away all the Disney schmaltz and hyperactive cutesiness, this is a really great s...
