Spinning Around

Timbaland - The Way I Are
Splendid new single that sounds even better when played very loudly by people who have speakers where their car doors should be.

To My Boy - Eliminate
Bonkers electropop from the Liverpool area. Like all good electro records, this one sounds like the suicide note of a drunken robot that never really worked properly.

Frankie Valli - Beggin’ (Pilooski Edit)
Back in 1998, the entire top 40 singles chart was made up of ‘swinging dance remixes’ of old songs by even older people. Nowadays they are a bit more thin on the ground, but no less effective if done properly. This one is, making the complete lack of sunshine in which to enjoy it all the harder to take.

M.I.A. - Boyz
Making its second appearance, because every time we hear it we get a little bit more excited about M.I.A.’s new album. And also because we heard it the other night while we were very drunk and nearly broke an ankle (and several glasses) leaping from our chair ‘in approval’.

The Doctor Who Theme Tune
The finale of the latest season of Doctor Who, starring the talented and not-exactly-ugly John Simm, went out last week, making this the perfect time to remember how ridiculously amazing the music at the beginning of every episode is.

Hadouken! - The Bounce (Live)
The sound of being strapped to a bass amp and kicked around by giants, this live track just proves how exciting, energetic and downright brilliant Hadouken! really are. Tickets to hear them doing this and much more are floating about right now. You should make it your life’s work to obtain one.
