Listen to the beats resound.

2. Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin) / Scritti Politti
Because I wish I'd lived through the 80s and sophisti-pop.

3. Let's Dance / David Bowie
Just... put on your red shoes and dance the blues.

Danny Elfman's ska-influenced new wave octet. Need I say more?

7. So Far... / Eminem
Guess who's [back] exploring sub-reggae, grabbing Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good"???

8. Music Non Stop / Kraftwerk (The Mix)
This should be pretty self-explanatory by now... 

9. Kristine / Sky Ferreira
Ska/grunge/noise/psychedelia? I don't know what it is. But it's great.

10. Peek-A-Boo / Siouxsie and the Banshees
"It sounded like nothing else on this planet."

11. House Of Balloons / The Weeknd
"Happy House" is worked into a softly anthemic slow-burn number full of diva-ish vocals tied to a chilly beat."

12. No Church In The Wild / Jay-Z & Kanye West (Frank Ocean, The-Dream)
 "The listener enters a bejewelled realm, one filled with musings on the spoils of riches and the chaos that accompanies it."

13. True Faith / New Order
*slap* *slap* *slap* *slap* *slap-slap-slap-slap-slap* *slap-slap-slap-slap-slap-slap-slap*

14. Full Of Fire / The Knife
Uncomfortable and disturbing, but in a good way. 

15. Daily Routine / Animal Collective
It sounds as good as the illusory cover looks.

16. "You Fuckin' Die...!" / Pixies
...It didn't have anything to do with anything.

17. Eminence Front / The Who
"This song is about what happens when you take too much white powder."
