New old tunes

There’s still manic mania here at Discopop Towers – but I have had the chance to put some “year end” podcasts on in the background, leading to some new discoveries of songs that came out six months ago. Here are two favourites: K’Naan, a Somalian rapper with more hooks than a fishmongers, and Fanfarlo, who are basically a happier, English Arcade Fire.

K’Naan – Waving The Flag

Fanfarlo – Harold T Wilkins

Also, you should check out Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of the Decade. It’s almost perfect.
