Twenty songs by artists old and new, a scattering of covers, two Kurts and a dollop of beats.
- Kurt Vile - Pretty Pimpin. "I'm talkin' bout the man in the mirror..."
- Mercury Rev - Are You Ready? Yes!
- Methyl Ethel are a local band from Fremantle and Rogues name checks my nearest bridge and the heat of a WA Summer.
- The Libertines - Anthem For Doomed Youth. Highlight of their depressingly poor third album.
- Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - Look It Here. Motown Junk from Colorado.
- Mark Morriss - Souvenir. The Bluetones front man covering an old Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark song that I remember from a Chart Hits '81 cassette I used to own.
- Warpaint - Ashes to Ashes. Excellent David Bowie cover.
- Swim Deep - To My Brother. Brummie band channeling the spirit of Screamadelica.
- Seasick Steve - Roy's Gang. Bad Ass Blues.
- Public Service Broadcasting - Gagarin. Ode to a Spaceman from their space themed LP.
- The Chemical Brothers - Wide Open. Best track they've recorded in years but very reminiscent of Sugar Ray's Spinning Away.
- Helsinki featuring Albert Hammond Jr. - The Batteries Weren't Dead. Cool instrumental.
- Surfer Blood - I Can't Explain. Christmas Has Come Early Again.
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Trapdoor. Single from their forthcoming album Paper Mache Dream Balloon. This Aussie Band just don't stop recording albums, this will be their sixth in three years.
- Broken Bells - It's that Talk Again. The Shins and Danger Mouse. Noice!
- Johnny Marr - The Headmaster Ritual (live) - from the Great live album Adrenalin Baby which includes songs from his time in The Smiths, Electronic and his solo career.
- DMA's - Lay Down. Sydney band which Oasis like swirling guitars.
- Yo La Tengo - Friday I'm In Love. Great cover of The Cure's giddiest song.
- Kurt Cobain - And I Love Her. Kurt covers the Beatles in his home recording. Remains to be seen whether the new album justifies the sound of scraping the barrel (again).
- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Girl With X-Ray Eyes (David Holmes Rework). I'm a sucker for kids choirs on rock songs so I stood no chance with this remix.
