Kanye West & Chris Martin – Homecoming
OH CHRIST! EGO! EGO! For a 1st song back, I couldn't have got 2 people who think more of themselves. And between you and me, I'm not convinced that Kanye really needs those glasses...

Jack Johnson – Middle Man
Everybody's favourite ex-surfer-cum-acoustic-songmeister has a new album out (it's called Sleep Through the Static) . I haven't heard it. I have heard the debut though, so that's why I played this one.

Van Halen – Panama
Partly inspired by the sweltering heat in the studio, but mostly played because it rocks. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with the leader of the country of the title. Find out about him here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Noriega)

I Was A Cub Scout – Pink Squares
The youngest member of IWACS drunkenly tried to bonk a Fresh Air DJ once. They told me so. Also, they occasionally don't turn up to gigs, and don't give any explanation (see the whole Minus the Bear-support situation). IWACS, not getting the best write up from Fresh Air at the moment. They're playing Cab Vol on the 10th, so go down and ask them just what their game is.

Peter Loves... Curb Your Enthusiasm
Frolic (Curb Your Enthusiasm theme)- Luciano Michelini

Pedro the Lion - A Mind of her own
Another band off Jade Tree (http://www.jadetree.com/bands/artist/pedro_the_lion) that I like. Jade Tree = Peter's favourites. MP3

Lightspeed Champion – Dry Lips
Ex-Test Icicles front-man, with beard and glasses. True story.

Blitzen Trapper – Summertwin
Good name. Whistling. Hoorah!

Thom Yorke – Reckoner (Live and Acoustic)
Acoustic version of the track off the new album. Taken from Jonaffan Woss' Radio 2 show. MP3

Peter Simpson’s Lessons for an easy life - Always back your data up, as shown by... Chris Walla – Sing Again

Guitarist from low-fi indie/emo/pop munchkins Death Cab for Cutie's first solo single. Got fiddled with by the man (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1572048/20071016/death_cab_for_cutie.jhtml). Horrible stuff. Hmmm...MP3
