A long, long time ago - or a year and a half ago to be precise - you may remember that I mentioned that the Chris Morris website Cookd and Bombd were compiling their Top 1000 Singles of all time. The way this worked was quite simple. Each forum member was to nominate several singles of their choosing with an MP3 and a review, and the final list was to be in no fixed order, just being a cluster of singles everybody felt strongly enough to nominate. The final results are enormously varied and curious. Click on "read more" to see.

Obviously I can't say I agree with every single choice, but it's fascinating to see precisely what everybody chipped in with. If you want to argue with the results, it's probably best to join the forum at http://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk and go to the Oscillations section rather than bicker with me about it.

I'm now sitting back and seeing whether mentioning 1,000 different singles in a row like that and also the magic word "MP3" will cause the webstats for this blog to suddenly skyrocket... sorry to disappoint any random strangers who have popped by expecting more.

Anyway, on another topic entirely, I'm doing a gig at the George Tavern near Shadwell tube tonight, so please drop by if you can. The audiences for these occasions tend to be notoriously tough, so we'll see how it goes...
