Here's my ten:

1. The Juan Maclean - Tonight
2. Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds
3. Meanderthals - Andromeda
4. Royksopp - You Don't Have A Clue
5. Richgirl - He Ain't With Me Now Tho
6. Electrik Red - Bed Rest
7. Ciara - Work
8. Fever Ray - Dry And Dusty (but could be swapped with 2 or 3 others from the LP)
9. Roska - Our Father
10. Jay-Jay Johansson - Lightning Strikes

I'd been thinking this year had been dry so far but no that's just the charts. Tell your ten!

- Pizza Hut/Taco Bell
- I'm On A Boat

I would like to point out to the h8tas that I like the above two not because they are 'funny' but because they are CATCHY (and boshing, in the case of PH/TB) and I have been singing them round the house constantly for the last few months.

OK now that's off my chest, here's some more:

- 'Death of Autotune' (only heard this week and may go off it but I just ♥ Jay-Z rhyming over the top of the clinky-glass sound cf 'Roc Boys')
- 'Intuition' by Keri Hilson (still my top pick off the album though about 4 other tracks are v close behind)
- 'A Thing For Me' by Metronomy (dreadful vocal but I keep coming back to it, argh)
- 'Bubblicious' by Rex T Dog
- 'Like A Surgeon' by Ciara (best slow jam of the year, tho it's more like a slow marmalade it's so sharp)
- 'Beat Again' by JLS (surprise pop WINNAH of the year so far)
- 'Zero' by the YYYs (definite grower)
- 'Lions/Tigers/Bears' by J-Sull (epic)
- 'Clocks' by H2 (obligatory minimal bosh)

'Bubblicious' is great. After the Fever Ray/Royksopp gig at RFH he was DJing downstairs in the foyer and playing it with huge screens of his animations. Only about 12 people dancing tho, most others just pottering around trying to decide whether it was worth sticking around for. Incogruous location really!

The Felix Housecat mix is cool too.
