(couldn’t narrow it down to 5, sorry. anyway, in no particular order…)
Madness – The Liberty of Norton Folgate 
30-odd years into their career, the still-slightly-Nutty Boys hit the mark with this extended love song to London.
YouTube: Sugar and Spice
Mariachi El Bronx – Mariachi El Bronx 
Difficult one to explain, this. Ummm… punk band does mariachi. Really well. Unless any mariachi experts say otherwise, of course.
YouTube: Cell Mates
Bruce Springsteen – Working on a Dream 
His Bossness returns with a companion piece to the previous year’s Magic. While that was largely an anti-Bush rant, this is the optimistic new-era flipside. Sorry for the shit quality of the Outlas Pete video. I recorded it myself at Hampden, oblivious to the massive head of the guy in front of me.
YouTube: Working on a Dream, Kingdom of Days, Outlaw Pete
La Roux – La Roux 
Hurrah! It’s the 80’s again!
YouTube: In For The Kill, Bulletproof
Echo and the Bunnymen – The Fountain
Hurrah! It’s the 80’s again… oh wait, we did this already.
YouTube: The Fountain
Bad Lieutenant – Never Cry Another Tear 
Hurrah! It’s the 80’s again… ohhh…. dammit. Bad Lieutentant. Not New Order. Not much…
YouTube: Sink or Swim
