My music listening is largely dictated by the device most convenient and closest to hand. This for a long time was the laptop on which I type now. It was passed up for my iPod, perfect for nasty London commuting, good old fashioned CDs and my work computer. Said laptop is experiencing something of a resurgence and today I had a dig through my old tunes. I came out with some corkers (many of which I cannot claim I discovered myself). They are the songs I defined myself by, danced to and played out most but which I have rarely listened to since coming to London.
I remember that there was a time when MSTRKRFT was the most exciting thing in the world, Jesse F Keeler was beating Josh Homme in the contest of hottest man in rock and I spend hours accumulating thousands of MP3s. Some discoveries lead to further listening (thanks for Jenny Wilson, Uncritical) and others just to some dancing (Panico). Many of them I never really listened to (apologies to those of you I passed up, you'll get over it).
Here is today's top 5 re-discovered, undisovered gems. Totally danceable, totally disposable. Perfect for a Sunday night when you've been pissed off by a vanishing plumber and have consumed little but Lemsip and porridge for the last 48 hours.
1. Ce'cile - Hot like we
2. Panico - Transpiralo
3. Capricorns - The new sound
4. The Fever - Ladyfingers
5. Diamond Nights - Girls attractive
