#34 Banquet - Bloc Party

I bought a Bloc Party CD on a whim and it's good stuff! Banquet is one of the best tracks from the CD.

#33 Sexy Boy - Air

Me and Pete once saw Air live in Lille. It was a very strange show as you are never quite sure what is pre-programmed with an 'electric act'. This reminds me of 'Queer as folk' (the UK series, not the US one).

#32 Pull Up To the Bumper - Grace Jones

She may be mad, but she is still pretty amazing, especially when you consider she is now 60 years old! This is one of my other-halfs favourite artists. So, heeeerrrrreeesss Grace!

#30 One Week - Barenaked Ladies

Overplayed on every radio station, but One Week is a fun track and one that you just can't sing along to. Great acoustic version can be found here.

#29 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

In honour of the little baby, who isn't a baby any more (see here), this is the brilliant Smells Like Teen Spirit...

A break

With 28 songs posted so far, I think I will take a break for a short while. Why not go back to the start and listen to the music again.

#28 Maria - Blondie

I saw Blondie at Glastonbury not long after this had gone to Number 1. They were awful for the first half of their set and then got the act together. This track was a highlight though.

#27 Call Mr Lee - Television

Similar to the posting of The Stranglers, Television were a punk band that moved on from shouting and not really playing music. I heard this track late one night on MTV2 which I switched on by mistake. The guitar style is unusual and the song very original. Sorry about the false start and end on the video.
