My Top 30 for the week of June 6 2012
My, there are some great songs out there right now. Here’s my high rotation songs at this point in time …
1. Timebomb - Kylie Minogue (she’s still the queen of dance)
2. See and Don’t See - The Afghan Whigs (haunting)
3. Extraloveable - Prince (he released this sneakily last year)
4. Unashamed Desire - Missy Higgins (quite edgy for Missy)
5. Empty Room - Prince (heard this for the first time at this concert in Brisbane - awesome!)
6. Masterpiece - Madonna (classic Madge - yearning and bittersweet)
7. Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men (thanks for the introduction, Mr Jimmy Fallon)
8. Intergalactic Rockit - Beastie Boys vs. Herbie Hanckock vs. INXS (RIP Adam - damn the Beasties created some amazing tunes)
9. Home Again - Michael Kiwanuka (long term top 10 fav, soulful, rich voice carries and is carried away by a stuning melody)
10. Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey - John Mayer (new album is surprisingly good - this is the highlight)
11. Girl Gone Wild - Madonna (why isn’t this a hit?)
12. You’re Mine - Devin (UK pop-punk with attitude)
13. Hanging On - Active Child (laid back falsetto bliss)
14. Titanium 500 - David Guetta feat. Sia vs The Proclaimers vs Midnight Oil (guilty secret of the tweens meets guilty secret of the 80’s)
15. Secret - Seal (only just discovered this soulful gem)
16. Don’t Stop (St. Lucia Remix) - Foster the People (dance!)
17. 5678! - Butterfly Boucher (great new Aussie songstress)
18. Transformer - Grace Woodroofe (smokey, dark and addictive)
19. Go Right Ahead - The Hives (welcome back you wacky zany madmen)
20. The Heron and the Fox - Little Scream (another hauntingly beautiful track)
21.Carbon Affair - Hey Geronimo (sophomore single shows they’re no one trick pony. It’s a free download - get it!)
22. Lost In The Light - Bahamas (laid-back guitar-driven alt-pop)
23. Sunday Drive - Ladyhawke (not receiving enough mainstream attention - give her a go)
24. Party Song - Pet Shop Boys (off their 2nd B-Side album)
25. Wild Love - Gossling (unique voice draws you in)
26. Body Crazy - Beastie Boys vs Prince and the Revolution
27. Smoke and Mirrors - Gotye (why not - every song on this album is amazing)
28. Chic Franzie Boys - Beastie Boys vs Franz Ferdinand vs Chic
29. Standing Strong - Yung (anthemic hip hop from upcoming indigenous Australians)
30. Gone Tomorrow - Lambchop (rounding out the 30 is another laid-back alt-pop with understated class)
