Rate That Song

Pretty unconvincing, I thought. 4/10


Can I put my hands on you?

There seems to be something like a 50% chance that whenever you post a song Mark that it is already on my ipod. The other half of the time our musical taste seem to be on completely different planets.

This is one of the songs that I do have on my ipod, 7.5/10.

I've been thinking about downloading this album, just because the idea of a R&B concept album about android slaves in the future amuses me to no end.

Edit: Well I've downloaded and listened to the album from beginning to end, it needs a few more listens before I can collect my thoughts about it. I thought it was pretty good, plus there was an of Montreal collab on the album, and I love almost anything that band touches.

A slight song, but you can't fault the production, which gives it more weight than it really has, I think. 5/10

I'd offer ten-to-one on the 50/50 chance of this one being on Pip's iPod.


...while he's watching the waitress's legs....

Something about Hejira that just misses the pop sensibility of her earlier stuff. It's good though, 8/10.

My favourite Joni Mitchell is "Free Man in Paris"

My knowledge of Joni's work is patchy, though when I come across some new stuff I'm rarely disappointed. Free Man in Paris, though, is pretty central to her canon, I think. It even featured in a recurring gag on Friends*. 8/10


I wouldn't tell you if I didn't care. (As I've said before - if only Johnny had met Kirsty before he met Morrissey...)


*Oops, no - hang on. That was In France They Kiss on Main Street. My mistake. As you were.

I respect and admire Kirsty MacColl but this song leaves me cold 5/10

Really lovely. 8/10

I like her better with the New Pornographers, anyway 7/10.

No, not for me. It was horrible to begin with, but graduated up to merely naff when the vocals kicked in. 3/10.

A friend of mine sung this in a show the other night. I hadn't heard of it before, but I think it's quite a catchy, punchy tune.

I actually liked it, which is more than I can say for the song "Copacabana" which never appealed to me.

6/10

OK, time for something summery.

Unforgiveable. 2/10


Cross your heart with your living bra....

I actually remember when that came out. It's OK.

3/10

Now something for the kids.
