She Says

This week's episode features, for the first time, a couple of female singers. I actually considered at one point doing an all-female episode. But I decided against it which was probably for the best. As you can see I've also started naming each episode rather than just numbering them - just to make things more interesting. You shall be enjoying:

1) Postcard of a Painting - Maximo Park
Great British band who recently released a very solid (debut I think) album "A certain trigger". I've always found it hard to find a best song on this album however recently when listening to them live on the radio, this song in particulars stuck out. So here it is.....

2) Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall
I know absolutely nothing about this girl - I'm not even sure on her name. It's something along the lines of Kate or Katie but then am I supposed to write her last name or is it already taken care of by the 'T' in KT? Who knows? What I do know is that I heard this song somewhere and really liked it. I only hope she isn’t mainstream pop singer 'cause then I’d have to renounce my likings....

3) I Was Born (A Unicorn) - The Unicorns
When looking for a Unicorns song I originally planned NOT to use this song. Due to the fact it's well known. However listening through "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?" I get the feeling that this song is the 'single' while the rest are the 'album'. Choosing any other song here would not do the album any justice - you must listen to it in full. That being said this song is still great and will be enjoyed by Unicorn fans and ignoramuses alike

4) Bottlerocket - The Go! Team
This band is extremely uplifting - from catchy harmonica solos to female rapping (which against all my conventions is actually good) and is a pleasure to listen to. This song especially has a mix of everything they do best.

5) Eros' Entropic Tundra - Of Montreal
This band was pointed out to me by a friend in a time of fresh music need. Thankfully it did the job with more than a few good songs. This in particular is a very catchy song and I liked it pretty much instantly- so might you....

Man this exhausting. Expect to see my intros to get more and more half hearted as they go on. In my self-righteous quest to open people's eyes, mine are slowly closing.........nah i'll be right
