This song is beautiful. It’s not dancey at all–definitely a departure from the sound I associate with Goldfrapp. I hope the new album still has some dancey stuff (the remixes I’ve heard of this song so far are only ok)–but this is just gorgeous.

Mika – Happy Ending

Two ballads in a row. I know. Not typical but this song is also excellent. It starts out very slow and eventually goes all Like a Prayer with a mega chorus.

I was kind of late to the party for this song, and all the sudden it was number 1 in Britain for something like 8 weeks. It’s quite good; as usual Bimbo Jones makes it better, adding a slick bassline, synth punches, and playing up the vocals.

Hilary Duff – With Love (Bimbo Jones Radio Edit)

Oh Hilary Duff, Slag Patrol loves you, even in spite of your horse teeth and lack of mainstream success (though we don’t like you as much as Rachel Stevens, sorry.) Popjustice called this track “the best song of her career,” and while I don’t like it as much as Come Clean, it is pretty good, especially after Bimbo Jones has a go at it.
