Magnetic Man ft John Legend - so damn good

Ordinarily, I wouldn't heap praise on a video that does the whole council estate Broken Britain "thing". But when the music is this satisfying - and soulful and menacing and trippy and lush - I'm prepared to overlook anything. Even the plate of cockroaches at 2m 42s.

Magnetic Man are really very good at this, aren't they?

Essential MP3 for your New Year party

DJ Earworm's mash-up of Billboard's Top 25 singles of the year has become an annual staple. This year's edition, featuring Lady Gaga, Eminem and Usher eeps the quality threshold ridiculously high... even if there's a little too much Ke$ha for my liking.

You can download the MP3 from DJ Earworm's official website for tonight's festivities. And if you like that, you should also check out the mix he did for Capital FM's Summer Ball in June which, if anything, is even better.

Those of you looking for something a bit more "credible" could also check out Magnetic Man's excellent Essential Mix on Radio 1's iPlayer page [link here] or Gilles Peterson and Thom Yorke's spiffing 120 minutes of politics'n'chat'n'music, which the Beeb repeated earlier this week. [link here]

And with that, I bade farewell to 2010 and look forward to seeing you all in 2011. Hope you have a great night! Mrdiscopop

A good song that sounds a bit like Baby D

1) We like Katy B's last single, On A Mission.
2) We like Magnetic Man's last single, I Need Air.
3) We like Magnetic Man and Katy B's new single, Perfect Stranger.

Isn't it nice when life is simple?
