1. Goldfrapp, “Happiness.” When I first saw this latest clip from Seventh Tree, I knew I’d seen something like this before. And as it is written in Ecclesiastes (turn in your pew bibles, please), there is nothing new under the sun:
2. Radiohead, “Sail To the Moon.”
3. Kaiser Chiefs, “Thank You Very Much.”
4. South, “All In For Nothing.”
5. Paul Weller, “Wishing On a Star.” Last month, sharing my brother’s birthday, Paul Weller turned 50, and his new disc, 22 Dreams, is his best since the Wildwood/Stanley Road days. This is, of course, a cover of the old Rose Royce song, because when I think about Paul Weller, I think about working at the car wash.
6. Spoon, “Everything Hits At Once.”
7. Electric Six, “The Model.”
8. Brett Anderson, “Intimacy.”
9. The New Pornographers, “Jackie, Dressed in Cobras.”
10. Chris Walla, “Sing Again.” The new Death Cab disc is a little low on ideas, but Walla’s Field Manual is boss.

Steven,
Isn’t that “Goin’ Quackers”? Because the way I’m reading your entry, this is all about pacifism and oatmeal.

Thank you for filling in that lost synapse. I had the same feeling watching the Goldfrapp video, but couldn’t remember where i had seen it before.

There is definitely something subconscious going on here. I always write “Goin’ Quakers” instead of “Quackers”
That’s it, I am heading for the local gathering to commune with the inner light. Wilt thou join me?
