Vultures/John Mayer

I recently obtained John Mayer's 2008 concert film "Where the light is" and was amazed at how good a musician he is. "Vultures" is all about his peculiar, almost deliberate style of rock. This style is also quite apparent in "Slow dancing in a burning room", another beautiful song. Check it out.

On My Mind/Futureshock feat. Ben Onono

Some brilliant keyboard sampling. One of my all-time favourite house tracks. Listen to it real loud.

Rat Race/Billy Idol

An opening progression that seems to suggest impending doom, followed by an explosive chorus. Idol's 'old man' voice trudges along with an instrumental track that is clinically tight.

Moon Run/Trapezoid

When in doubt, go with a mixture of guitar, violin and clarinet, i always say.

Autobahn (remix)/Kraftwerk

A song for the road. After a few listens, you'll find yourself singing along in a lame German accent. Trust me.
