4/12 Tracklisting

Lightspeed Champion - Tell Me What It's Worth
As part of my continuing remit to play sub-standard indie rock off the freshair playlist on my show, Lightspeed Champion win this week's "Best of a bad bunch" award.

Don Caballero - June Is Finally Here MP3
Jazzy instrumental math-rock for you. Gotta love it...

Idlewild - Idea Track
Track from one of my favourite albums, '100 Broken Windows', lovely stuff.

Led Zeppelin - Tangerine
The bizarre freshair obsession with Led Zeppelin continues...

The Polyphonic Spree - Running Away MP3
Mad boys in robes making happy clappy music.

Minus the Bear - Fulfil the Dream
Good-on-record-but-boring-bastards-live-indie from a band that features an ex-member of Botch. Who were far superior to MTB. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lions
"Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Ah, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Ah, oh. DNNNN-DAH-DUH-DNNN-DUHHH!" and so on.


SPOTLIGHT - Comedy AND music?

The Flight of the Conchords - Issues (Think About It, Think, Think About It) MP3
Flight of the Conchords is one of the best things on TV right now (Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe's off-air at the moment). Get the DVD for Christmas. Fucking do it.

Matt Berry ft Richard Ayoade and Matthew Holness - One Track Lover
From the soundtrack of the hilarious 'Garth Merenghi's Darkplace', an ode to loving ladies, featuring Richard Ayoade rapping. A beast.


Damn Shames - Last Things
Edinburgh-based band purveying the "copius use of hi-hats=the basis of a good song" line of indie rock. Decent song though, so they get played on the radio.

Pretty Girls Make Graves - All Medicated Geniuses MP3
Yankee indie involves more shouting than ours. I like this.

The Futureheads - Hounds of Love
See Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but in a Sunderland accent.
