Snurched from wyldemusick, who assigned me the letter B.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it (or link to youtube videos)) 5 songs that start with that letter

1. Babooshka by Kate Bush
2. Born Under a Bad Sign by Richard Hawley
3. The Boy With the Thorn in His Side by the Smiths
4. Blinded by the Lights by The Streets
5. Broken Home by Burial
Bonus: Bedsitter by Soft Cell

youtubes beyond the lj-cut.

Kate Bush: Babooshka. Gloriously goofy early video by one of my favourite singers.


Richard Hawley: Born Under a Bad Sign. From Coles Corner, one of my fave albums of the last five years or so.


The Smiths: The Boy With the Thorn in His Side. A perfect Smiths single. Saw them on tour for this album in 1986. It was one of the best live shows I've seen.


The Streets: Blinded by the Lights. From A Grand Don't Come for Free, another of my fave albums of the last five years or so. I like the video I constructed in my head better than the official video, but I can't really show you that one, can I?


Burial: Broken Home. And another recent favourite album, Burial's self-titled debut album. Not an official video, but interesting, and you can hear the song.

BONUS VIDEO: Soft Cell: Bedsitter. 1981 synthpop classic. I never noticed before that Marc Almond looked like Gail Platt from Corrie.
