No way. You say you prefer it to Bowie and Jagger?

[sarcasm by the way. Dave and Mick's 1985 was horrible (but not as horrible as their outfits in the video).]

Seriously, Martha and the Vandellas own that song. No contest in my opinion.

Some new psych-rock off an Uncut magazine cd.

Oh yeah. That song had a phase on my iPod shuffle a few months ago (Bizarrely, I think I found it off an Urban Outfitters sampler). I kind of liked it, but at 7:25 I think I'd prefer an edited (read: not quite so psych-y) version.

Yes, I wasn't even factoring Dave and Mick's mangling into the equation.

I understand why you go for Martha & V's - most people would which is why I made the comment - personally I'm not much of a motown kinda guy and love the mamas and the papas - I just wanted to shout out to this lesser known version!

"No Reply" by the Beatles from Beatles For Sale, or Beatles '65, however you have it.

Spoon - "Everything Hits at Once"

"Strawfoot" -16 Horsepower

"The Ruling Class" - Loose Fur

Engineers - "Brighter as We Fall"

The Russian Futurists: "Paul Simon" off Our Thickness (2005).

Telekinesis - "Coast of Carolina"

"Here I Is" by Chuck Higgins from the v/a comp, Soundman Shots: The Caribou & Downbeat 78's Story.

Excellent collection taken from 78's released by the Jamaican Caribou label. Calypso, R&B, do-wop,
early rock-n-roll and some funky pre-ska sounds are gathered on these double discs. Much fun!

Jesus & Mary Chain - "Just Like Honey"

"Here Come the Girls" by Ernie K-Doe from Allen Toussaint- Saint of New Orleans.

Great collection of songs either written or produced by Toussaint, and performed by Toussaint and other artists.

"Heavy Metal Kings"- Jedi Mind Tricks

The Microphones: "You'll Be In The Air" off The Glow pt.2 (2001)

"Life and Times"- Bob Mould
Title track and highlight from the legend's underrated 2009 album.

Four Tet - "Love Cry"

Not sure what to think of this one yet. I don't think it's as good as any of the songs off of the Ringer EP.

Listening to Embryonic and have had it on repeat for days since I got it. I love this album. Best double-album of the decade.

Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble: "Parallel Corners" off Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (2006)
