Van Morrison-Beside You (Classic song)

The lyric sheet to this song reads like a metaphor laced mantra of ones purpose in life. A song without a chorus that has more hooks than a North Sea fishing boat. The listener waits on baited breath for the priceless delivery of some of the most exquisitely written melodies and human vocalisations...EVER.

Radiohead-Codex

With this song, Radiohead verge so effortlessly on the border of 'mind control' that it's a miracle the government hasn't harnessed their powers for propaganda. This song will make you feel, for almost 5 minutes, that NOTHING can hurt you.


More than a song.

Kings Of Leon-Pyro

'Grab a box of matches' and take it to the haters. 


Despite what you've heard...THIS is the best Kings Of Leon song to date. Reject the social practice of dwelling on a certain Reading performance. Listen. To. The. Song. YESTERDAY!!!

Lady Gaga-Scheiße

It's Gaga. She can do what she likes. Aside from speaking German.


Lady Gaga is dead. Heil the NEW Gaga.  If this reinvention doesn't blitz her current fan base then Gaga is on the brink of MEGA-stardom (even mega-er.) And can expect a plethora of Dub, Industrial, Metal, Goth, Electro (the list goes on...) fan boys at her concerts.

James Blake-Limit To Your Love

Limit To Our Love?


Say 'HELLO!' to post-dub. Mundane looking song-writer with voice that eludes talent. Feist thrown into a blender with Anthony and the Johnsons, a swathe of disgruntled-early-Blake-fans and the invention of a genre? It works...and we want more.
