The Silly Walks Song

Step this way for an existential crisis.

Voodoo Economics

Hadn't heard of jangly early-90s Dutch outfit The Serenes before yesterday, but I loved this song instantly and I suspect you will too.

100,000 Fireflies

Some achievement. I'd have lost count at about two hundred. And how would you even get them to stay still long enough to make sure you hadn't counted any of them more than once? Must have been a logistical nightmare.

My Radio Sounds Different In The Dark

One of my favourite songs of the 90s, this wasn't even a minor hit in the UK. Ridiculous. It is absolutely brilliant - and I couldn't have been more thrilled to discover the promo vid kicking about the internet today.

In Meinem Leben (In My Life)

Everything about this is gorgeous. Recorded in 2010, it's 27 years and a million miles away from 99 Red Balloons. There's also an English translation of the lyrics scrolling up the page as you listen, which is extremely handy if, like me, you're a German learner - or if you're just plain curious.

Creeque Alley

A brilliant performance of a great song, even if the chorus is rather harsh on Cass. And why on earth is she holding the microphone like that?

Black Tambourine

Hey, Mr Black Tambourine man, play a song for me. Byrdsian jangle ahoy!

Daryll-Ann Again

A 2014 Daryll-Ann gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, more or less in its entirety? Oh, go on then!

Better Be Home Soon

Neil Finn and Roddy Frame together on the same stage, along with 10CC's Graham Gouldman. This Crowded House classic will knock your socks off. (There's a nice dig at The Verve from Finn in the intro, too.)
