My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 11):

1. The Black Keys – "This is Nowhere". Another swingin' single from forthcoming album Ohio Players, this is like audio crack, with its raspy bass riff, super-groovy shuffle beat, and funky organ. #music

2. Liam Gallagher and John Squire – "Raise Your Hands". Maybe it's not as flash as "Just Another Rainbow", the first single released by this meeting of Britpop titans, but this is still a solid chune that plays to both men's strength and will get heads nodding. #music

3. Myriam Gendron – "Long Way Home". Lovely throwback to the golden age of British folk-rock (Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Nick Drake) from Montreal's Gendron. #music

4. Kid Kapichi – "Can EU Hear Me?" Rousing punk anthem from Hastings (UK) group taking on Brexit's fallout ("I don't want to live alone on this island/but they put it to a vote, and they just kept lyin'") Can't decide whether to smash the system, or just turn this up and shout along. #music

5. Chromeo – "Lost and Found". Chromeo take a pinch of synthpop here, add a dash of Controversy-era Prince there (man, those keyboard stings in the chorus take me back!), and whip up this tasty concoction. #music
