I was driving to work today and everything was fine and dandy. I parked up and locked the car, and as I started to walk away, I noticed that one of my tyres had a slow puncture! Well, I thought of the hassle of getting it changed - but then I remembered that it could have been due to the tyre being 'under pressure' - then I started laughing as I walked and humming this tune.

Thant's all really - I never got into Queen too much, but this song is their best one for me; and it was even better when David Bowie ripped it up too!

So I'm getting my tyre sorted - and I've got this tune on loop on my iPhone - enough said :)

So if you loved the Kill Bill score that RZA did, then you know there were some very varied and wide ranging songs on there. One in particular that stood out in my mind was a song by Meiko Kaji.

I'll be honest - I'd never heard of the lady, let alone wonder what era/genre her music fell in. However, being the open minded varied dude that I am, I gave it a few spins and realised something very quickly.

This music is beautifully deep and rich in swooping strings and soft flutes throughout. Her voice is mesmerising - absolutely heartfelt all the way.

The movie was a blast, the performances memorable, and the score was awesome too. But this song - this song opened up my mind to a new kind of music.

The flower of carnage is anything but; more like delicate petals showering your face on a crisp spring morning.

... It's just beautiful really :)

Following my ongoing love for The XX, this is another great song off their award winning album. Amongst the hardcore XX fans; this song has a very, very special place in their hearts.

There have been lots of fans, arty folk and general budding filmy peeps making videos/short films to this song. It has a strong message and vivid meaning regarding relationships, and the ebb and flow of being in one. Need to give props to yevainethesky for this video.

It's a very moody and stern piece of blissful tune'age. Sometimes we all say things in the heat of the moment, perhaps it's when the lights are off and our heads hit the pillow, or even when we irrationally send texts/emails in fits of rage - this song puts all of that onto a few bars and makes it a real experience in musical form.

The key line in this song that everyone seems to sing/hum/mumble to themselves (including myself!) is 'Maybe I had said. Something that was wrong. Can I make it better with the lights turned on'.

For lovers... and fighters everywhere ;)

When I was about 15 years old, I thought trip hop music was the future and they way forward for everything!... Nothing touched it and everything else was rubbish. I was spending all my pocket money on records by David Holmes, Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, PJ Harvey, Mr.Scruff and DJ Shadow.

DJ Shadow was the beginning and end of all things big beat trip-hop for me. I couldn't get enough of the clunky beats and breaks, the moody deathly drums, the jerky-awkwardness of his beats, and that always perfect pinpoint delivery he had with the 808 drum machine and decks was standard.

This tune was the killer one for me. It was the one that made me get all serious about big beat trip-hop music - and a decade on since, I'm still searching for music that makes me feel the same way ever since.

This is a real fave for my moody-bluesy evenings - nothing comes close to the drum machine surround scape soundtrack that is DJ Shadow.

On my recent adventure for music that has been calming and tranquil - my daily pit stop has always included my fave boys Foals.

I always feel that every time I play a Foals tune in my headphones, I'm taken into a musical maths lesson and my ears are learning a new rhythmic algebra algorithm - their music is delivered with such scientific poise and accuracy - each beat, each strum, each chord, and each bar is simply rich with colour.

Their recent album Total Life Forever is like a world ticket for music lovers - travelling through a lush jungle of noises and beats that take a few listens to identify exactly where they origin from and how exotic they really are.

Gotta give these dudes props for pushing the boundaries further with each song they layout. Or as I like to call it - music for clever people.

OK, so these guys have blown up now and since Mercury Music Prize fame, they've been pretty much everywhere. From T.V adverts, backing music on BBC programmes, and accompanying all U.S teen drama make out scenes; you cannot deny these guys there dues.

For such a young outfit, their music sound really adult and grown up. It's the sort of chill out music you can have on in the background, or alternatively just simply put your headphones on and drift off to a world of make believe.

It's music for a new generation of kids - kids who want something different to unwind to and not too much fuss over it either.

This one's a fave of mine, nice quaint plucks and soft tones dripping all over it. Only a few beats that go over a whisper and a musical pace to match that of normal breathing - why can't all music be this simply complicated - it sounds effortless, but deep enough to keep you hooked.

It's pleasing to know that there are still bands out there putting out wonderfully colourful and engaging music for everyone to enjoy - this is make-out music of the highest calibre ;)

Serious dope song! Possibly one of the biggest tunes getting ready to blow up real soon! This song features the hottest girl on the planet and the new fire boy lighting up the airwaves.

Instantly catchy hook and fat beat running all the way from start to end. Give it a listen and spread the love peeps - cannot get enough of this tune.

Big tune - turn up very high please :)
