1- k-os - the rain
Deliciously rich and mournful. A fantastic old-school soul ballad from one of my favorite eclectic hip-hoppers and fellow Canadian K-os. He's coming to Chicago next month - anyone want to join me at the show?
2- gift of gab - left side of the brain
From Gab's limited edition mixtape Supreme Lyricism. I just love listening to this album all the way through - his flow just tumbles over you with this endless energy.
3- the manhattan brothers - ishumelosheleni
A joyful singalong from this South African doo-wop group, hugely famous in 50's South Africa although almost completely unknown to whites at the time. One of my favorite discoveries from my past life in radio.
4- joe strummer - redemption song
A lovely cover of the classic, from the late great lead singer of the Clash. His voice and the original tune work so well together.
5- firefox ak - the draft
She's cute, young, and Swedish, and she makes pretty electronic music. This is one of my favorites from her album, Madame Madame!
6- the futureheads - skip to the end
I love this song, which is fun and dancey and retro and dark at the same time, and the lyrics are just so true! Naaaa na na naaa na na!

I think this is your best one so far. Keep them coming. By the way, you sound like an experienced music critic with your comments for each song. It adds to the enjoyment.
