Girlpool - Before the World Was Big: 10

Deceptively simple, what really hooked me about this song was the way that they switch meters between the verses and choruses. Often, songs that try to include meter changes can feel forced, but this one's so natural that you barely notice it's happened.

MiniCoolBoyz - Smoke: 5
I'll probably never attend the same clubs as Krurze. Then again, I don't really attend clubs, so the problem is clearly mine. I like how the guy's voice is mixed like he is in a martial arts fight though.

Eva Cassidy – People Get Ready: 3

Never been a fan of this type of singer/songwriter style of song. She did a lot of covers and not much else…

I used to work in a record store and we used to sell a lot of her stuff - her compilation’Songbird’ was a big seller for me so that meant I had to play her often.

It was irritating them and I still find it irritating now…

903. Dale Howard - Limit: - 5. I won't say no to a bit of house/techno from time to time, but this ship has sailed for me.
904. John Coltrane - Naima - 5. Jazz that doesn't stir much in me, sorry.
905. Yung Hurn, featuring RIN - Bianco - 2. Phwoar, this is pretty bad in my book.
906. The Lemonheads – Alison’s Starting to Happen - 7. This track is one of the lesser track on a brilliant album. But the Lemonheads always had my vote.
907. The Germs – Circle One - 6
908. Die Goldenen Zitronen, featuring Michaela Melián – Beautiful People - 3 - Yup, very much a nonchalant Nico style song.
909. Panic! at the Disco – I Write Sins Not Tragedies - 7
910. Justin Timberlake – Like I Love You - 6 - far less offensive than I thought
911. Traditional – On Top of Old Smokey - 4 - Gosh, this sounds like Eric Idle from Monty Python ?
912. Maroon 5 – One More Night - 3
913. Adam Green - Jessica - 8
914. Henri Salvador - Le Loup, la biche et le chevalier - 4
915. Blood Orange – Best to You - 5.5
916. Lene Marlin – Where I’m Headed - 5
917. Girlpool – Before the World Was Big - 6

I'm on holiday. I have my laptop with me so there still should be new song each day, but forgive me if my posting will be more irregular than usual.

I have a marginal preference for Owen Paul's cover, which ranks toward the bottom of my top 2000, probably due to familiarity, but this original version is also excellent.

The flip side is much better. And even better by Robert Gordon.

Maybe reviewing this will make me not think of the Phoenix Suns.

Marshall Crenshaw – You’re My Favorite Waste of Time: 6

Someday, Someway is around #630 on my unfinished all-time list. His first two albums were pretty fun. He was kind of short on personality but he had some good songs.

Year: 2002
EP: Smile On Fire
