'Take Em Up' by Shit Robot

Interesting name for this band . . . it looks like a pseudonym for an Irish electronic DJ (read more). Anyway, I like the tune and so should you.

'Not in Love' by Chrystal Castles

Looks like a Robert, sounds like a Robert, it must be a Robert Smith - courtesy of Jmac. Hey, this sounds a bit like The Cure . . .

'Mr. Gnome' by House of Circles

Very funky sound by this Melbourne band. It's got big beat and we need more big beat, baby.

'Pleasure, Little Treasure' by Depeche Mode

This one just came to me and it seems fit to leave 2011 on a goooood note!

'7 Chinese Bros' by REM

This one is off of Reckoning and is a gem and is quintessential REM.

'World Shut Your Mouth' by Julian Cope

Who's that? I'm not sure but Julian certainly wrote a cool tune released in lovely 1984.

Enjoy post Christmas.

'Little America' by REM

I've always been a big fan of this under played and enigmatic tune. It's actually the last track off Reckoning. Let's party.
