1) Burnout by The Lulu Raes
What can I tell you about the Lulu Raes that hasn't already been said? Well I have never mentioned them before and all I can tell you they are an Aussie indie pop band.
2) Tools Down by The Presets
Now this is funny! If you think Daft Punk's "Technologic" if it was covered by The Village People then you are in the ballpark.
3) Make Time by Mallrat
Brisbane's Mallrat (aka Grace Shaw) with a track from her latest EP.
4) Visions by Stonefield
Another space rock classic lifted from their Far From Earth album.
5) Mainland by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever
RBCF have been releasing singles out of Melbourne for the last few years and their debut album "Hope Downs" has just been released and is a decent effort.
6) Romantic by Hooverphonic
Belgium's answer to Portishead is a more radio friendly orchestral brand of trip hop. Nice!
7) I'm Your Man by Spiritualized
This is the first new music from Spiritualized in six years - hopefully more to come soon.
8) Looking For Love (Instrumental) by Chromatics
This is the instrumental B-Side to their latest single - offence to their singer - this is better.
9) The Club by Gruff Rhys
This is the fifth solo album from the Super Furry Animals singer and he has included lush orchestration to his latest work. This is a tale of being thrown out of a club which is surely a metaphor for something not explicitly stated.
10) Inkolelo by Subjective (aka Goldie & James Davidson)
This track samples African rhythms and vocals and is the work of Jungle legends Goldie and James Davidson. Mr Bullion's African Adventures.
11) It's A Trap by Ash
A beautiful soaring song from the Northern Ireland's poppy punks who are now, if you can believe it, in their twenty-fourth year of their recording career!
12) Hold Unknown by Dinosaur Jr
I don't even want to work out how long Dinosaur Jr have been going - I'm feeling old enough just thinking about Ash!
13) Spooky by The Nextmen Vs Gentlemen's Dub Club featuring Holly Cook
This is taken from an excellent album "Pound for Pound" full of British reggae, dancehall and rap influences with a smattering of guest vocalists. My album of the month.
14) The Comedown Was Real by Drapht featuring Indoor Fins
Lifted from the "Arabella Street" EP by Perth's leading skip hop artist.
15) And I Was A Boy From School by Tears For Fears
A faithful cover of the Hot Chip single.
16) Cry Little Sister by Marilyn Manson
Not a fan of MM but I did enjoy this cover the original was on the 1987 Lost Boys Soundtrack.
17) The Unforgiven by Alborosie featuring Raging Fyah
This is unusual and I haven't decided yet if it is inspired or a crime against music. I suspect the latter but I can't help listening to it.
18) Hi Hello by Johnny Marr
Echoes of The Smiths "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"on this track taken from his third solo album "Call The Comet".
19) Salvation by Tash Sultana
This is a new track which has a more polished production than her previous work and comes a couple of months before her highly anticipated debut album. Will the extra polish push her into a household name? I wouldn't bet against it.
20) It's Summertime by Morcheeba
Instant Summer classic - I would tap my toes if I could still feel them. It's Wintertime in the Southern Hemisphere.
