Chris Todds Top 10 - June 2006
June 18th, 2006
1. Dirty Pretty Things - Doctors and dealers A highlight from a mostly excellent album from a band evoking images of the last gang in town. Whilst Doherty is intent on flushing the reputation of the Libertines down the toilet, Barat is restoring it whilst making it his very own, who’d have thought it? Vaguely reminiscent to Thin Lizzy’s Whskey in a jar, this track is one of a number of snarling stompers on the album, equally as good are ‘You fucking love it’ and the sleazy ‘If you love a woman’. Barat spits out lyrics about ‘crack pot quaks with cracked up egos’ and as for the line - "They say that were together But Im sat here on my own", could only be about one person, right? 2. Muse - Super massive black hole 3. The Gossip - Jealous Girls 4. Keane - Is it any wonder (i know, sorry) 5. Primal Scream - Nitty Gritty 6. Hot Chip - Boy from school 7. Dirty Pretty Things - You fucking love it 8. The Gossip - Listen up 9. Flaming Lips - Vein of Stars 10. The Automatic - That’s what she said
