Got Some Tunes [December]

Tinchy Stryder (ft. every UK rapper at the moment): Game over
I really like this, I think it's a brilliant idea. HOWEVER, Chipmunk totally ruins this, usually I really like his stuff but he sounds awful on this track. Surprisingly I even quite like Devlin on this despite how I can't actually stand his usual stuff.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs: Household goods
This has the James Blake/Jamie Woon vibe as well but with a heavy dance best behind it.

Enter Shikari: Destabilise
I can't workout whether a) I like this and/or b) it is actually good. I still feel as though Enter Shikari are trying to make a song as anthemic as 'Sorry...' but I'm not sure they ever will.

Mark Ronson & The Business Intl (ft. Boy George and Andrew Wyatt): Somebody to love me
I absolutely love this. I need to get this album to be honest because everything that I've heard from it so far is amazing.

Jamie Woon: Night air
I used to get this mixed up with the James Blake track I posted last month but I think it's because they have the same sort of vibe. I love them both either way.

Good Charlotte: Like it's her birthday
I don't really know where I stand on Good Charlotte anymore but thanks to Tap Tap I found this new one and it is brilliant however not much different from any other song they've done ever.

Ellie Goulding: Your song
Possibly the most beautiful cover I've ever heard. I love that she sings this with her actually speaking voice compared to the more singy voice on her own music. I finally saw the advert as well!

Plan B: Love goes down (Danny Byrd remix)
Danny Byrd can do no wrong right now seriously. This is really different to any other remixes of any Plan B songs I've heard before because it's so upbeat and feel good compared to the others.

Woe Is Me: & delinquent
I absolutely love this band and I'd put their whole album on here but this is the new song they've got a video for so this one will do.

Bullet For My Valentine: Bittersweet memories
This is my favourite song from their current album and I'm so pleased by the amount of Radio 1 airtime this is getting! I think it sounds a lot more like the stuff on "The Poison".

Avicii & Sebastien Drums: My Feelings For You
Brilliant dance tune. Loving Avicii at the moment. The video for this is class as well.

Adele: Rolling in the deep
I love this but I don't think it sounds like Adele at all; a lot more like Florence and the machine.

Got Some Tunes [November]

BIRTHDAY MONTH. So so busy.

The Count & Sinden ft. Bashy: Addicted to you
Nice tune, topical video.

Chase and Status ft. Tempa T: Hypest hype
Such a tune. Must be played at maximum volume.

Gyptian: Hold yuh (Major Lazer remix)
Love really subtle remixes like this.

Two Door Cinema Club: I can talk
Ah oh ah ah oh ah oh ah ah oh hey hey.

Tim Berg: Seek bromance
I can not get enough of this, I love it so much. A lot of people saying that the original is better but I prefer this version. Both have pretty interesting videos.

Skepta ft. Preeya Kalidas: Cross my heart
Yeah Skepta's good.

Make Me King: Working title
So I assume that's not the actual name of this song but Alex Baker's been playing it a fair bit on Kerrang! Unsigned and seeing as it doesn't exist anywhere it's not on the playlist. The first time I heard the first 30seconds of this song I thought it was brilliant. I hope this band do well because I really think they have the potential.

Eliza Doolittle: Let the sun shine
So much better than the original.

Michael Rice: We are not made of glass
Heard this ages ago and saw it floating around the internet the other week. Michael Rice used to be in Yashin but now does solo stuff, good move in my opinion.

Pierce The Veil ft. Jeremy McKinnon: Caraphernalia
I've embarrassingly got back into Pierce The Veil recently and this song is pretty good including the guest appearance from ADTR's Jeremy McKinnon. I wasn't sure about him on this at first but it actually works quite well.

Drive Like Red: Chasing ghosts
These added me on youtube so I listened and it wasn't bad but it's a pretty generic emo sound. Nothing different really.

Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith: Not in love
I actually despise all Crystal Castles songs that I've ever heard but on first listen I absolutely loved this, it's definitely Robert Smith that made it for me but I've not heard much of The Cure so this is was a pleasant surprise for me.

Katy B ft. Ms Dynamite: Lights on
Not sure it's as good as 'Katy on a mission' but maybe it's a grower.

Got Some Tunes [October]

The Wombats: Tokyo (vampires and wolves)
I'm not sure whether I like this because it's genuinely better than their first album or just because I'm not fed up of it yet. Either way it's such a good tune.

We Are The Ocean: Lucky ones
I really like the new stuff WATO are releasing at the moment however I don't think this song really sound like them much; I feel like the chorus is just begging to be catchy. It's not bad though.

Francesqa: Years
I don't think Francesqa could ever write a song that isn't catchy.

Attack! Attack!: We're not the enemy
I still love Attack! Attack! even though most of their songs sound pretty much the same and have the same format. I quite like the video for this as well.

Deaf Havana: Smiles all round
The new direction Deaf Havana are heading for is really working for them and this song just emphasises that. I love the spirit they have about their music despite the amount of hate they've gotten since Ryan's departure.

Swedish House Mafia & Tinie Tempah: Miami 2 Ibiza
Such a tune seriously and the lyrics are absolutely brilliant.

Eminem: No love (feat. Lil Wayne)
I prefer the structure of this song to other stuff Eminem's released recently, it's just a bit different. Lil Wayne isn't half as annoying as usual on this either.

James Blake: Limit to your love
I didn't realise that this was a cover when I first heard it but it's beautiful.

We Are Scientists: I don't bite
Such a catchy riff in this. We Are Scientists can do no wrong, period.

Sam Garrett: The river
Brilliant singer/songwriter, amazing voice. His stuff isn't on youtube so go to http://www.myspace.com/samgarrettmusic to hear his stuff.

Got Some Tunes [September]

Freessshhh from Reading Festival 2010.

Mark Ronson and Funeral Party do not embed.

All Forgotten: Deadweight
Watching the video it appears as though AF have had an entire lineup change opposed to just a change of vocalist. I personally prefer Jon's vocals, I think that they were more original but this guy's alright... can't remember his name for the life of me though.

ISPYSTRANGERS: We're all gonna burn for this
Oh but it's so catchy...

We Are The Ocean: Playing my heart
Possibly their best song since 'Nothing good...'. And Dan's singing (bless him) is definitely worth listening to this song for.

Mark Ronson: The bike song
Weird, not particularly commercially viable but very good in a strange way. I didn't realise that the singer was the guy from The View, he sounds so different on this, less Scottish.

Magnetic Man ft Katy B: Perfect stranger
Magnetic Man nor Katy B can do no wrong. This is a banger.

B.O.B. ft Rivers Cuomo: Magic
After seeing Weezer at Reading, Rivers Cuomo is now the love of my life and I absolutely loved this song the second I heard it. B.O.B. knows how to write a good tune.

Plan B: The recluse
Just as good as the previous tracks from this album, I think I'm enjoying it more just because I haven't heard it 920570917250987 times and I'm not fed up with it yet.

Funeral Party: Just because
Catchy, messy, loud.

Canterbury: Calm down
I love Canterbury, I do, but... it's just another Canterbury song to be honest.

Weezer: Memories
Not half as good as some other stuff they've done but it's still got a catchy chorus.

Got Some Tunes [August]

Really couldn't be bothered to write anything about the majority of songs this month but trust they are all (apart from YM@6 which also doesn't embed) brilliant.

Klaxons: Echoes
Better than flashover. If this is anything to go by the new album should be good but I don't think this is half as anthemic as their previous singles.

Tinchy Stryder: In my system
Best thing he's released since... ever.

Fake Blood: I think I like it
Marmite track. For fans of Crazy Frog.

The Count & Sinden: After dark ft. Mystery Jets
If you don't like Mystery Jets but you like dance music this is definitely worth a listen.

Ellie Goulding: The writer
Not as good as the last two singles in my opinion. It's nice though, but just nice, nothing more than that.

Donae'o: I'm fly
I'm fly, so flyyyy. It's catchy. That is all.

You Me At Six: Stay with me
At least it's not liquid confidence.

Don Broco: Dreamboy
Absolutely love this song. A lot more lighthearted and more easy to listen to than some of their older stuff. They have brilliant energy live as well.

Katy B: Katy on a mission
Brilliant dance track. I didn't think she'd look like she does though...

Duck Sauce: Barbara Streisand
This has no need for words.

We Are The Ocean: All of this has to end
Tune. I do think that maybe Dan's screamy vocals aren't that necessecary on this track but they still work.

Magnetic Man: I need air
Dance tune of the summer.

Blood Red Shoes: Heartsink
Catchy indie rock.
