- 1. "Little Man" by Little Dragon: "Good stuff, little man! Our Plastic Beach touring buddies have made another snappy release of upbeat electronica, with the shimmering Yukimi Nagano on vocals. It’s from their Ritual Union album."
- 2. "Genesis" by Justice: "A French duo known for their synthetic, floor-stomping remixes. If my melon were made of sexy black plastic metal, this would be the sound of someone twisting it. Really squeaky!"
- 3. "Plastic Palace People" by Scott Walker: "Beautiful, fantastical strings introduce a gorgeous, soaring ballad from heartbreak’s greatest troubadour. A standout track from his (already magnificent and gem-stuffed) Scott 2 record. It’s medicine for the soul, I tell you!"
- 4. "Gucci Gucci" by Kreayshawn: "Snazzy, sassy, sweary rhymes from U.S. chanteuse Kreayshawn, a pottymouthed Minnie Mouse on crack, helium and whippets. But don’t quote me on that."
- 5. "Wet Boy" by Camille: "This is a beautiful track from French artist Camille Dalmais, a former contributor to the punk rock–covering lounge act Nouvelle Vague. A heart-melting performance on Jools Holland’s show, too. Check it out! From her new album, Ilo Veyou."
- 6. "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits: "A faultless artist who never fails to deliver. Whether it’s the sounds of someone shovelling crows into a fairground furnace, someone slumped in an ether-soaked torpor of nocturnal wistfulness or simply someone hammering out symphonic madness in a rusty ol’ scrap-metal yard while burying the body in the boot, there really is something for all the family. ‘Hell Broke Luce’, from the new album, Bad as Me, is a tuberculosis- and spittle-driven anti-war rant over a rhythm of rattling bones and devil trombones. Just what the doctor ordered!"
- 7. "On the Run" by Cerebral Ballzy: "A deep-filled crust of punk from these Brooklyn-based New Yorkers. “On the Run” is the opening track on their recent self-titled punk rock debut album. On the run; I know how they feel. I’ve been under attack for about five years now. Not long now."
- 8. "Let England Shake" by PJ Harvey: "Still blasting this out of my hi-fi. This is the title track from PJ Harvey’s Mercury Award–winning, golden larynx-and-autoharp album from last year. Mercury Award, you say? It must be good! And it is! One of my favourites from last year."
- 9. "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra: "OK. Let’s look at the lineup: strings by John Barry, lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and vocals by Ol’ Blue Eyes' little girl Ms. Nancy Sinatra. All for a James Bond soundtrack. This is sublime and sumptuous, transatlantic and technicoloured; a stunningly evocative them, like a ship setting sail on a golden summer morning. You know what, though? I’ve got this terrible fear that one day someone will sample those beautiful strings, right, and then stick some stupid lumpy old 'dance' beat over it, and then warble some tuneless meaningless toss about something like, say, er… a 'Millennium' over the top. That’d be awful wouldn’t it? Very unmusical idea. Meanwhile, have a listen to this… Nice."
