Spike ,'Sleeper'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Depends on what you want. Smoky? Pervy? Rocky? Unexpected?
Taste In Men (Black Market Music)
This Picture (Sleeping With Ghosts)
Or, and Jilli suggested, their cover of Running Up That Hill is truly beautiful. As is their cover of Sinead O'Connor's "Jackie," now that I think of it.
Smoky? Pervy? Rocky? Unexpected?
Not sure. Rocky, maybe? I'd rather not play a cover tomorrow. I'll need to play more of them next week, so maybe a cover then.

Then Plasticine is probably your best bet.
No, This Picture. Or, wait, how about The Bitter End?
Joe, I hate yousendit, no particular reason. But I have plenty of webspace, and I can load it up for you. Zip or Stuffit?
Also: bwah!
msbelle, I'm liking The Innocence Mission -- I've never heard of them before and now this is the second time today. Supposedly they have a new album coming out.

Do you not like Sam Cooke? 'Cause that's who it makes me think of. And I love Sam Cooke. Anyway, zip's good.
And now I'm earwormed with "Jesus, Wash Away My Troubles" (the Soul Stirrers' version of "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child"), which is not a bad thing at all. What a singer!
Jon & msbelle, check your email for some excellent news (maybe you've already seen it) which is not mine to announce! Congratulations, Anonymous-for-Now-Buffista!!
Sorry to be cryptic. Don't want to steal so-and-so's thunder.
Angus will like this lineup, I think. The Streets, Dizzee Rascal and Scissor Sisters are all in the top 40.
Well, yeah, bit of it certainly. I also like Kanye's album obviously although there's something a bit predictable about it being No 1.
I'm also enjoying the M.I.A./Diplo mix album "Piracy Funds Terrorism" (especially the title!) -- M.I.A. is a Sri Lankan born MC from London who makes kind of hybrid hip-hop/dancehall/grime; her "proper" album "Arular" is going to be HUGE this year.
NB the singles list is much better, I love about 90% of that.
I'm really intrigued by M.I.A. I downloaded "Galang" to check it out, and didn't quite get it. But "10 Dollar?" Rocks my socks. Need to revisit "Galang" and check out some more.
