- Living In America (James Brown) Have trouble not thinking of the Weird Al lyrics but this is pretty great.
- Wicked Game (Hula Hi-Fi) "Hula-fied" cover, very sweet.
- Maps (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) I realized maybe I like this song so much because it reminds me of Regina Spektor's That Time...
- Tighten Up, Pt. 1 (LP Version) (Archie Bell & The Drells) We dance just as good as we want!
- Lay Low; Stay Workin' (Khodi Dill) Used as the theme to the youtube series Movies with Mikey which I'd also reccomend.
- Whoopin' Blues (Leroy James) I play this song with the New Magnolia Jazz Band
- Blow, Blow Tenor (Yockamo All-Stars) Another New Magnolia Song
- Fate Don't Know You (Desi Valentine) Hangover from last month's Desi Valentine kick.
- Ode To The Bouncer (Studio Killers) Odd, "virtual" pop group; I kind of love the visuals especially of the main singer, and her dripped paint mascara and fertility goddess curves.
- Opposites Attract (feat. The Wild Bunch) [7" Edit] (Paula Abdul) Decided I didn't have enough MC Skat Kat. The Roger Rabbit visuals are pretty good!
- She Watch Channel Zero?! (Public Enemy) Furious intensity.
- Get Down Tonight (KC and the Sunshine Band) Heard "Booty Vortex" cover this before New Magnola went on in Somerville... such a classic.
- No Shoes (The Roches) New song for Porch-i-Oke; some tricky rhythms.
- I'm Gon Make U Sick O'Me (feat. Scarface) (Parliament) Good to see these guys back, but I think I'm too square to really get it.
- I Can't Get No Nookie (The Masked Marauders) Weird pseudo-band made up for a Rolling Stone article, supposedly of rock's all-stars...
- In the Dub of the Mountain Step (Peer Gynt, Op. 46: In the Hall of the Mountain King - Edvard Grieg) (DJ Zadok) I'll always dig the core song of this.
- American Pharaoh (Jase Harley) Song that influenced "This is America".
- We Are Going To Rob It (Daniel Pemberton) From Ocean's 9, great heist music
