  2. Panic! At The Disco – “I Constantly Thank God for Esteban” A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out
  3. The Pogues – “London Girl” The Very Best of The Pogues

John and I just had a conversation about “Wake Up” the other day.  Escala, the previous winners of “Britain’s Got Talent”, were on the show this week playing a song.  John was convinced it was “Wake Up“, but it was quite obviously “Kashmir”.  The performance in question can be viewed here, judge for yourself (but it’s definitely “Kashmir”).

    Woke up at 5:15 this morning, and although I couldn’t get back to sleep for those final 45 minutes of shut-eye, I did enjoy listening to a pair of owls on the top of the house across the street discuss all the rain we’ve been having lately…

    “The Love Affair [Final Version]” – Roger Eno, “Music of Neglected English Composers”
    “This Time the Dream’s on Me” – Harold Arlen, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil soundtrack”
    “Quebec” – Geoff Downes, “World Service”
    “A Cry for Everyone” – Gentle Giant, “Octopus”
    “Lost and Found” – Roger Eno, “The Night Garden”
    “Go Forward” – Lisa Gerrard, “Whale Rider soundtrack”
    “Tales of a Damson Knight” – National Health, “Complete”
    “Leonard and Natalie” – David Julyan, “Memento soundtrack”
    “Livin’ for You” – Boston, “Greatest Hits”
    “Go” – Asia, “Astra”

    No bonus this week; Roger Eno got enough airplay this time around.

    Wow, what are the odds that a band from the 70s and a band from the 80s would be inspired by two different London Girls to write a song about them? :o )

    La la la la la la la London Girl….
