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.

Got Some Tunes [July]

I said I wasn't going to write anymore of these but it felt wrong creating the playlist without something to go with it so I'm just gonna write a few words about each track.

Giggs: Blow em away
Shola Ama on this puts a much more commercial spin on Giggs' usual work. This has the potential to be massive.

M.I.A.: XXXO (Jay-Z remix)
Such a tune.

Plan B: Prayin (Breakage remix)
Better than the original.

Swedish House Mafia: One (ft. Pharrell Williams)
The original speaks for itself but Pharrell's vocals just add that extra touch.

Hadouken!: House is falling
Best track from the "For the masses" album, so glad they decided to release it as a single.

Young Guns: Crystal clear
In my opinion all Young Guns songs are starting to sound pretty similar but I guess the final verdict can be made when they release their debut album on July 19th.

Futures: Sal paradise
I don't have anything to say about this really but if I hadn't written anything it would have looked odd.

Midgar: Lead your children to the sky (ft. Steve Sitkowski)
This caught me by surprise that they'd got the Outcry Collective vocalist Steve Sitkowski to do the verses on this song and Midgar were left to to the chorus but it works really well. I felt bad after hearing this that I've never really given Midgar the credit I now believe they deserve.

Asher Roth: G.R.I.N.D.
Asher Roth is back and this song is a tune. I doubt it will blow up like "I love college" but I like it.

Lower Than Atlantis: Far Q
In my opinion Lower Than Atlantis can do no wrong and I'm glad they are getting so much attention at the moment especially on radio 1, they deserve it.

Mystery Jets: Dreaming of another world
The first Mystery Jets song I've liked in a while despite how it sounds like everything else they've ever written.
