No surprise at the top. 'Coconut Shampoo' by Neverever is now, by some distance, the most popular song on my blog.

Song of the day - 114: Los Saicos
As someone wrote on YouTube, "Everything we used to know about rock and roll is false".

Song of the day - 111: Songs
This song is a couple of years old - and this is newer material available - but have you any idea how hard it is doing a Google Search on the word 'Songs'?

Song of the day - 108: Tom Lehrer
The following article is reprinted from Alistair's most wonderful (and still missed) website, Tangents - the place I looked to for inspiration when I was helping set up Careless Talk Costs Lives.

The 15 Least Popular Songs On My Blog (June update)
No interest in listening to the sumptuous new beats from Bonobo? Shame on you! And what about poor Lorna G - still stuck in the top two, despite the felicitous and infectious groove of her rhymes?

Song of the day - 100: Bonobo feat. Andreya Triana

Now, if you don't know why I'm featuring this short-lived Glasgow-based group here, you haven't been paying attention.
