Aperitivo or main course?

Having had a bit of a pottering day (well, afternoon actually, after I finally surfaced), I think it's time for the first selection in 2024 of the "newer" songs that have caught my ear of late...

First up, something glitzy and rather odd (as is my wont), but catchy nonetheless...

Ariana and the Rose - Cosmic Lover

Speaking of "crazy" - house fave Miss Beth Ditto's back again!

Gossip - Crazy Again

I have to admit, this whole "K-Pop" music thing of the past few years has rather passed me by - the appeal of androgynous boys or identikit girl-groups posing over twee pop music is lost on me. However, this one's rather good:

TVXQ - Rebel

A ditty I thought rather appealing, (in a sort-of-retro way), first heard (once again) thanks to the faboo Lisa Tarbuck show on Radio 2:

CMAT - Have Fun!

As it's only five weeks - and counting - till we're in Spain again, this Flamenco-tinged number from a German DJ (actually released last summer, but new to me) will do nicely by way of an aperitivo...

Voodoocuts - B-Boy Paco

And, saving the best to last - another utterly brilliant mash-up by the marvellous Mr McClintock!

Korn. In a Can - Still Coming Undone [Bill McClintock mashups: Korn vs Portugal. The Man}

As ever, dear reader, let me know your thoughts...
