Ten records that are good and why I like them

1. Air - Moon Safari. The singles. Relaxing. The whole frenchness of it.

2. Massive Attack - Mezzanine. Heavy bass lines. Impending doom. Liz Frasers vocals on teardrop and angels. Darkness. A brilliant live show at the Glasgow Barrowlands.

3. Basement Jaxx - Romeo. The video is a favourite of mine. Happy music makes me small. Cute female vocal.

4. Lee'Scratch' Perry - Arkology. Chase the devil. Police and thieves. I've lost the third CD and I'm gonna have to buy it again.

5. 1000 homo DJs - Supernaut. Not cool nowadays but still cool. The black sabbath version is good too.

6. Toots & the maytals - monkey man. Live in concert and the air was green.

7. Dead Prez - hip hop. One thing about music when it hits you feel no pain. And the bass line

8. Bob Marley - trenchtown rock - where dead prez stole their lyrics.

9. Fugazi - song #1 - 'everybody's talkin about their hometown scene and hurtin peoples feelings in their magazines and you wanna know what it all means.......it's nothing.' I used to sing that one in my kiddie punk band.

10. Johnny Cash -hurt - Johnny was a massive hero of mine. My dad loves him as well. Hurt was a favourite nine inch nails song and he made it his own. You can hear the emotion in his voice. Progressive neurological illness and years of abuse taking their toll. Sadly beautiful.

9. Outkast - Hey ya! shake it like a polaroid picture. Fast, funny, joyful. Video full of pretty girls.
