Epicure - Tightrope Walker

I love this song. It is so easy to listen to, the way that Juan Alban sings in this song is so calming. The orchestral backup helps too.

"And as he's watching her eyelids close in the TV glow,
He can't help thinking that
She's a tightrope walker and he's the streets below."

Band Of Skulls - I Know What I Am

Great Rock. Tickets on sale.

"Hot sweat,
Got debt,
Keep your licker in the locker cause you don't know yet,
But I know what I am,
They know what they are
So let me be"

Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise

This was put into my head by a friend this week and I haven't stopped humming the intro... it is so smooth...

There are some stellar effects with the camera in this filmclip - along with an epic out-of-this-world intro... i like it... i like it a lot....

"She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying"

Emily Wells - In the Barrel of a Gun

This is innovation. I used to have one of those toy microphones with the spring in it - hours of fun.

Great Saturday morning listening.

"Oh my love, in the barrel of a gun, with a girl girl ghost, with the golden sun"

Futureshock - Pride's Paranoia

Old one but a good one - Have always been a fan of Atmosphere's spoken word.

"Ground control ground control to major tom we found a hole in your theory and named it Sean and when the leaves fall then land looks more human
its got me questioning the essence of my farm boy blues
hence I never wore the fashions of the know what I'm doing"

Prince - Sexy MF

Love this chorus... was sung this song by a friend of mine tonight who insisted it was Prince... i took opposition... he was right... i knew all the words... but i got the artist wrong... love this track.

"I might cook for u
See it really don't matter cause it's all about me and you
Aint no one else around
Im even with the blindfold, gagged and bound"

Boards of Canada - Julie and the Candy

Not sure if this is the legit video clip, but I like it anyways...

Deep bass, disjointed flute synth, definite drums.... this is my alarm in the morning...

"..."

Trentemoller - Moan

Heard this on the radio a few years ago, it made me drive faster.

"I've been thinking too much about you
I've been staring at the floor
I've listened to all the tunes i love
But made me feel quite blue"

Play to the hilt this unlikely role."
