83. Little Things - Lamb

I’m not sure what got me into Lamb: I’d say James, but back then it probably would have offended his sense of drum and bass purity to have a girl singing live in front of it, or that it meant they were a pop band, or something. But what an amazing racket they made (and still do: I saw them last year at Roundhouse with Laura, and they were still amazing live).  Continue

82. You and Me Song - The Wannadies

I’ve loved this song since the very first time I heard it, for the complete kitchen sink ordinariness of it before the explosion of a chorus, the aural equivalent of that moment when you look at your long-term partner in the middle of the coffee shop as they’re talking about what to have for dinner that night and you remember oh fuck I really love you and your heart skips a beat at the thought, until the guy behind the counter calls your names to collect the coffee.  Continue

81. Les Rita Mitsouko -C'est Comme Ca

It’s hard to even know how I came to this song, with it’s blend of high camp (they were pals of Jean-Paul Gaultier, obviously), arch vocals and keen riffs, being as it’s French and all.  Continue

80. Under the Milky Way - The Church

I guess there was no way The Church wouldn’t have existed in 80s Australia.  Continue

79. Mexican Radio - Wall of Voodoo

From the opposite coast to TMBG, WoV were similar in so far as they seemed to be living a SoCal noir-ish that also didn’t exist in reality.   Continue

78. Leave Them All Behind - Ride

If you were ever going to mix extreme noise with meditation, I suspect this would be your soundtrack.  Continue

76. Ana Ng - They Might Be Giants

There’s a certain East Coast aesthetic that has always drawn me close: I don’t know if it was ever real, and it wasn’t anything I experienced personally if I’m honest, but I saw it second hand from Stinky and his endless stories, in the films of Whit Stillman, and in particular in the music and clips of They Might Be Giants.  Continue

75. Human Behaviour - Bjork

For years there were 2 places I wanted to see above all others: Istanbul and Iceland.  Continue

74. Connection - Elastica

This song came onto the radio the other day as I was driving my son to rugby practice, and by the time the chorus rolled around he already knew it, and was happily singing along: he was caught out by the stutter at the end, but otherwise he’d nailed it.  Continue

73. Far Gone and Out - The Jesus and Mary Chain

Wait, you’ve got to look at this first. The JAMC on Dave Letterman! Playing with the house band!  Continue

72. Kiss Them For Me - Siouxie and the Banshees

I probably admired the Banshees more than loved them for a long time – I knew they were feted, I liked a few songs, but they didn’t worm their way into my head – until this came along, a combination of all that made them great, and my head just exploded.  Continue

Hot Damn!

Picture
The one thing everyone in racing knows about Budapest is that it’s hot, especially when it’s time to race at the Hungaroring: it’s almost always the last round before the summer break, and the combination of the hot, hot heat, the mirage of a holiday just over the horizon and a tight, technical circuit combines to make the Budapest round one of the hardest for all of the teams on the grid.  Continue

71. Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

They can’t be blamed for their fans: Soundgarden would never abide the treatment handed out to Bjork at the Big Day Out, having gone through enough tough times of their own, and Cornell just had something eminently polite about his demeanour, regardless of the state of loucheness he inflicted upon himself and the world.  Continue

70. Kool Thing - Sonic Youth

Okay, maybe I was hasty before, maybe Kim Gordon is actually the coolest bass player rather than Kim Deal: it’s got to at least be a tie.  Continue

69. Cut Your Hair - Pavement

So it was John who introduced me to the concept of Slanking, and as soon as he did it was as though it had been with me my whole life. And, in a way, it had.  Continue

There Goes The Fear

Picture
Everyone’s a little afraid of Budapest. It’s not the people, who are stern but helpful once they know what you need, and it’s not the city, which is beautiful in a ‘could use a power wash to remove the grime to show how stunning it is’ kind of way, but it’s more about the weather.  Continue

66. Tame - Pixies

Too many songs, too many of them classics. What a hardship. Where Is My Mind is an obvious choice, and the tie to Fight Club can only help (what a genius book that was, and a brilliant movie version, albeit with a completely different ending). Monkey for the string offsets and “rock me Joe”. Gouge Away, just because.  Continue
