Remember those archaic days when you picked up a magazine or a weekly music paper in your grubby music-hungry hands and read a playlist of what the publication’s writers were playing in the office that week? There is power in those recommendation charts. Here is my version. No great fanfare or descriptions just ten of the best song around right now you should know or you might already know.

Can’t wait to get my mitts on Amanda Blank’s album. It’s streaming deadliness on MySpace. Good stuff, Nialler!
love that gaslamp killer ep, great stuff. his finders keepers mix is very nice too, well worth a listen.
the heavy live – (thats a minus) joker = well the singers dress was kinda glittery I suppose, or was it?
the heavy + joker = an eejit mouthing like he’s a seventies soul diva knocking back a beer in donaghmede while the bass cracks his neck and the potatoes boil over.
so in short when you running a competition for some Joker tickets?
