1. James Brown - Doing The Best I Can
You aren't really, are you Jim. You've done loads better than this. Still, at least you aren't trying to shoot your wife, so that has to be a plus. A bit dull really, but then The Payback is far from my favourite James Brown album. Hopefully it will finish soon. Then again it might not, as it is nearly eight minutes long. Ugh.
2. The Black Keys - Just Couldn't Tie Me Down
iTunes likes these far more than I do. Decent enough slightly noisy sub-White Stripes without the irritating drummer.
3. The Monkeywrench - Love is a Spider
This is more like it. Bits of Mudhoney and some bloke from
4. The Go! Team - Feelgood by Numbers
From the sublime to the bloody average. Title pretty sums the entire album up, really (although I am quite partial to Bottle Rocket. I typed Ricket first, which would make for a description of violently attacking former
5. The Fall - Lie Dream of a Casino Soul
It's The Fall.
6. Belle & Sebastian - Mayfly
Skip. SKIP (the track, not the action. Skipping would only make me want to vomit even more).
7. Lost Generation - The Sly, Slick and Wicked
This is better. A lovely slice of lush Brunswick Soul, with an odd title.
8. DJ Yoda - Stupid Poo (feat. Treacherous Three & Kool Moe Dee)
Short, fun and full of odd noises.
9. The Mono Men - Lie Detector
Excellent excellent excellent. The Mono Men are ace and everyone should love them. Although they stopped making records a while ago. But that shouldn't stop you sampling their wonderful garage sounds. Man.
10. Outkast - Red Velvet
Hurrah, a Scary Rap Dude. Well, two of them, and they aren't particularly scary. But they are Rap Dudes. And very, very good (well, apart from Andre's disc on that split thing, The Love Below. That's a bit rubbish, especially when compared to Big Boi's, as that has The Rooster on it, and that's ace).
11. Tom Waits - Watch Her Disappear
Get some strepsils. And cheer up.
12. Sixto Rodriguez - Forget It
Why isn't Sixto one of the most famous people in the world? I love this album to bits and he has an ace name. The same does not apply to former Ipswich plodder Sixto Peralta.
13. Dukes of the Stratosphear - 25 O'Clock
Don't like this nearly as much as I did when it first came out. All sounds terribly contrived, now. Although this is possibly the best one on it (no reason on earth for it to be five minutes long, though).
14. Curtis Mayfield - Freddie's Dead
Poor Freddie. Wonder what happened to him. Perhaps he had his brain cleansed by a frog.
15. Wu Tang Clan - Heaterz (feat. CappaDonna)
Scary Rap Dudes ahoy! It's the Wu, motherfucker. Killah beez! Hoez! Bitchez! Z's inztead of S'z! It's great. Wu appreciation should be mandatory (especially whilst doing the hoovering and polishing).
16. Al Green - Here I Am (Come and Take Me)
Scientifically proven to be the bestest Al Green song ever. If you disagree, then, well, you're wrong, aren't you. Can't argue with science. And even if you do, I'll just puts my hands over my ears and say "la la la can't hear you". So there.
17. Quintron - Track 7 from Satan is Dead
No idea if this has a proper title, and I can't be arsed to look it up. Organ based mentalness, ace (not in a rude way).
18. The Meteors - Rockabilly Psychosis
From when the bass player who went on to form The Tall Boys was still in them. He also sings it. Scary Psychobilly Dudes!
19. Tom Jones - Not Responsible
It seems that no random selection would be complete without a Tom Jones song. Which is odd, as it has over 30,000 songs to choose from. A prime slice of Sir Tom, oh yes. Not in a rude way.
20. The Cybermen - Break My Heart
A little chunk of Medway goodness to end on. Not the best though, and a little bit of a disappointing ending. Oh well.
There. I'm off to continue watching Angel Season 1, now.
