CURRENT LISTENING: THE YOUNGSTERS: PHOENIX

Listen to the two baselines battle and then that pretty little melody as it soars on top of the funk of that, like a white bird in a blue sky. I'm so happy today thanks to The Youngsters! Bang on!

CURRENT LISTENING: THE CHAP: MEGA BREAKFAST

Right this minute TI is mad for North London outfit, The Chap. I find them so funny. BBC punter John Peel would have lived for them. They are so normal their fans say they look like teachers and that's too true. Their new album "Mega Breakfast" has this really droll track, "Fun and Interesting" with a chorus that goes "My generation/Needs another me" . I like their live videos.Get into the drummer and his LED T-shirt (coming to a runway near you) and the kids in the audience are beyond cute. I ache for London right now!

CURRENT LISTENING:GIORGIO MORODER: E= MC2

Giorgio Moroder was the producer behind Donna Summer's genius "I Feel Love". There's a famous story, which David Bowie likes to wheel out, about that time in the late 70's when Brian Eno rang him up screaming that he had just heard the future. He dashes over to Bowie's hotel room and puts on "I Feel Love" . " That wonderful soulful singing over that cold Germanic machine music! It's the future!" Eno was said to have declared. He was right. TI loves cold Germanic machine music and this track is taken from Moroder's solo album E=MC 2. Get into the shout-outs to the production team at the end. Hilarious!

A new Sigur Ros album you just buy without listening...without asking. Because! But then to have Ryan McGinley doing the artwork . What!!!!! A generation of kids will treasure this. Its very the here and now. Take the lead single Gobbledigook for example...
