First of all - THE SEVENTIES

"Wildfire" as discussed yesterday, I had misremembered the song slightly, it's obvious from the beginning that she is AN GHOST and also I had hallucinated a chorus due to Wildfire's spooky powers, still though, VIVA DEAD PONIES as they say. Quite a sturdy dead pony if it's carrying them both off at the end, I am imagining some Thelwell-eseque plumper.

"Signs" by the Five Man Electrical Band - this is what all other 70s pop was like, pseudo-hippie nonsense about how there are SIGNS everywhere put up by the MAN telling the KIDS what to DO. Should be revived by One Arctic Monkeys.

And now - THE NOT-SEVENTIES

tATU - "Robot", a great pop tune from the Russian version of their first album, it goes "Robot robot robot robot" over some frankly boshin' beats.

URBAN DEBUSSY BEAT - this is "Be Happy" by Mary J Blige.

Special Bonus Track: this was the final song we played at the last Poptimism. If you were there you'll know what it is. If you weren't there then prepare to be moved.
