2007…pretty good year for music so far

Thank goodness -I’m now off school for two and a half weeks. I may even be feeling human at the end of it all.

I know I often post covers on a Friday, but I thought today I would post a handful of tracks that I’ve really been enjoying this year. Some of them -Gasp! Shock! Horror! were hits. I’ve posted about Penny Century, Emma Pollock and Katie Sutherland a lot this year, and flagged up how much I’ve enjoyed Bat For Lashes and Wiley, but I thought I would highlight some other stuff I’ve loved.

Kate Nash -‘Foundations.’ mp3

King Creosote -‘Leslie.’ mp3

Tiny Dancers -‘I Will Wait For You.’ mp3

Calvin Harris -‘Acceptable in the 80s.’ mp3

Thrushes -‘Aidan Quinn.’ mp3

Justice -‘D.A.N.C.E.’ mp3

Hot Chip -‘My Piano.’ mp3

Von Sudenfed -‘Fledermaus Can’t Get It.’ mp3

Timbaland -‘Give It To Me.’ mp3

Battles -‘Atlas.’ mp3

If you like the tracks, support the artists involved, and leave feedback.

It’s going to be tough deciding my Top 50 tracks this year…

Three more for you! (part three)

Ok, not a long post as I am shattered, if pleasantly so.

Basically, just three tracks I really like at the moment. These can all be found on iTunes or try Amazon:

First up: So, it got to No.1. So, it features Nelly furtado and Justin Timbalake. And? Your point is…?

Timbaland-Give It To Me.’ mp3

this is gorgeous- and it came out on yummy 10″ vinyl. If you choose to buy it onvinyl instead of CD or download, more power to you. The cassette may be officially dead, but vinyl is still there. Yeah…oh, and Manic Pop Thrills were bigging this up as well.

iLIKETRAINS-‘Spencer Perceval.’ mp3

Finally, ‘cos demented is how I feel…presenting: Battles (not to be confulsed with Battle, who are also very good, but different)

Battles-‘Atlas.’ mp3

As ever, support the artists, if you like the music, go and buy it.
