I've decieded. This is my secound-favourate song of all time:

Blondie - Atomic.
There's not a great deal to say about this. When I'm out it ends up in my head; a lot. More often than not. And I like it, and I've never not liked it, start to finish its perfect.

Recently, inspired by the incredible 'Control', I've been listening to a bit of Joy Division for the first time.

LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
I love the song, and maybe I've figured out the lyrics which have always stung me. maybe. Could it be about a stillborn birth? or a miscarriage? (theres a lot of discussion)

Girl Talk - Feed the Animals
At first this was a little annoying, like listening to someone try and find the right radio station. I'm naturally mashup-adverse, and here the cutting was a little too quick and theres was so much happening it was hard to nail down an emotion. But I was more or less hooked after the third listen for a couple of reasons.

For one, he's a talented guy and the mixes are incredible. The Radiohead & Jay Z one was startlingly good. The songs become their own creation rather than a collection of sample. And all these samples tend to trigger memories. Lots. Inspired to go back into collections and online to find some stuff I havnt heard in years after a five second snippet.

One of the samples used was by the The Cure and that got me on to their "best of" release. "A Forest" and "Inbetween Days" are still fantastic. I'd almost forgotten; but Wild Mood Swings but that was actually the first album I ever brought. I'm pretty sure. I got it from K-mart Chirnside Park and I'd built it up so much that I remember feeling a bit disappointed with my purchase after.

My first single? I brought it for a girl I had a crush on in year 8. It was a tape cassette single. C & C Music Factory - 'Do you want to get Funky?' I had no idea what it ment. I was in year 8 and innocent. I actually still think this song kicks ass. I've still got the freestylers mix.

My first CD single was The Grid - Swamp Thing. I don't think I still have it but I remember how it goes.

The other ones I had were DJ Shadow - Organ Donor. I made Chook buy it as a birthday present when I was in year 11. And I picked up 'Block Rockin Beats' by the Chemical Brothers at around the same time. That song is still awesome. And it makes me wonder when the last time I heard any beats in a chemical brothers tune was... probbably a very long time ago.
