Courtney Barnett "Are You Looking After Yourself ?"
It's amazing when someone comes along like this and is so suited to the times. Lyrically this lass is switched right on and every line she writes is either smart or funny and always fits. The whole record is a gem and it's tough to pick one tune but I love the sentiment of this track. "I don't need no 9 to 5 telling me that I'm alive." The whole thing builds and turns on its head by the end and its pretty much perfect. Each song is like an episode of "Girls"and most of the best records this year have been made by girls. Live, everything is a bit heavier and that just adds to the fun, so get your flats on and go see her quick. The new album can't come soon enough.
The Oldish One
The Velvet Underground "Sweet Jane"
Lou Reed could sing "Mein Kampf" and make it sound cool. I love "Loaded", some people don't rate it but its just different to the old stuff. I love the velvets in all their forms and "Sweet Jane" is rock and roll.
