My Last FM Top 20 (week 4)

Once more, it's the stuff listened to in the dead of night that makes all the difference. Once more, week on week.


1 (17) The Deadnotes + The Legend!
A welcome return to the top for Brisbane's most inspired pairing since Forster and McLennan.
2 (6) The Feelies
Damn shame this band didn't influence R.E.M. more.
3 (5) Eilen Jewell
4 (-) Las Kellies
Excellent minimal girl-punk from Argentina
5 (-) Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Keeps getting stuck on repeat. His first six or seven albums are comfort music for me.
6 (8) Crocodiles
7 (6) Dolores O'Riordan
Morbid fascination. If she's in this chart a third week, you can start to seriously worry.
8 (-) Flat Duo Jets
A welcome appearance for the Detroit duo who influenced early White Stripes while simultaneously sounding like Richard Hawley.
9 (10) Taken By Trees
Her new album contains much Pakistani instrumentation, much to the good.
9 (-) Dexys Midnight Runners
Name me one bad song. Just one.
11 (-) Ramones
I think this might be 'Blitzkrieg Bop' repeated N times for Isaac's benefit.
11 (10) Beaches
Psychedelic femme noise from Melbourne.
13 (-) Fruit Bats
On Sub Pop. Another band who sound like another band. But pleasantly so.
14 (-) Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
15 (-) Cornershop
The new album rocks in ways Primal Scream don't.
16 (-) Misty's Big Adventure
Chirpy and unsettling ska and post-Sun Ra bliss from tribe of Birmingham Julian Cope acolytes.
16 (-) The Ronettes
Played in memory of Ellie Greenwich.
18 (-) The Pipettes
Isaac loves to go around saying, "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me".
18 (3) The Undertones
Mostly from the "True Confessions" EP.
20 (-) Pissed Jeans
Belligerent, spiteful and hulking NOISE as I love it.
