Robyn - absolutely beautiful. One of my songs of the year. ALL THE TICKS

Bouncy - poor 293857th single. Why not release Freakum Dress? NO TICK

Not heard the rest yet, will report back when I have.

My Bouncy tick is for the very discofied Freemasons rmx.

That's much better, definitely - it adds much-needed WELLY like with the Bouncey/Shakira one.

Disagree. In this case, I much prefer the original, which has a GREBT beat. (The magic of the Freemasons remix of "Beautiful Liar" is noticeably absent this time.)

The Freemasons/Bouncy pinnacle was the 'Ring The Alarm' remix - everything since just hasn't hit the spot in the same way. And Bouncy's beats are better anyway.

Yeah this is an eh remix of an eh song, but the two ehs make a marginal tick in this case.

The RTA one is amazing yes.

Dizzee - Awesome blud! Boshing and full of energy. TICK

Spider Pig - Heheheh. Can see it getting old, but not yet. TICK

Coral - Blimey are this lot still going? Could be a lot worse but have no need to hear this again. NO TICK

Winelodge - Oh THIS is what this one is called. I like it, good old vibraphone plinks/tambourine-snare business. Blimey her hair is HUGE! TICK

Cribs - I think I thought this lot were someone else (ie someone good). They are not. NO TICK.

Weller/Coxon - not even going to bother listening to this one.
