Songs Of The Week (Jan 21 — 25 2008), plus one from next week…

  • January 25, 2008
  • Popjustice

In case you missed any of this week's Songs Of The Day, here is a little roundup.

Sam Sparro is probably the pick of the bunch, FYI.


FRIDAY: 


Pin Me Down — 'Cryptic'

A bloke from Bloc Party and a bird he met team up create some rather brilliant elec­tro­pop in a The Sounds meets Dragonette 'fashion'.

THURSDAY:

Sam Sparro — 'Black & Gold'

Prince meets the Scissor Sisters in an atompso­heric elec­tronic pop 'romp'.

[audio:samsparro.mp3]


WEDNESDAY:

Lykke Li — 'Everyone But Me' (Rocca Remix)

One of your next favourite Swedish pop ladies gets a cheery re-rub.

[audio:lykke.mp3]


TUESDAY:

MGMT — 'Kids'

We keep for­get­ting how much we like MGMT but they are amazing and also don't wear many clothes.

[audio:mgmtkids.mp3]


MONDAY:

The Ting Tings — 'Great DJ'
This year's big pop pre­dic­tion from people who do not like pop music but totally amazing in spite of this accolade.

NEXT WEEK…

Here is a preview of Monday's Song Of The Day. It is quite good.
