4) “Little Lovin’” – Lissie [8-17-2010].  A favorite track of Roll’s when it was released as an EP last fall, this re-run on her debut full-length album captures Lissie’s dusky, willowy folk-pop at its best.

13) “Giving up the Gun” – Vampire Weekend (9-7-2010).  An alt-indie track that sounds like the rest of Vampire Weekend with a Paul Simon-twist.   
14) “Fuck You” – Cee Lo Green [8-25-2010].  An old school funky-groove loaded up with a shitload of f-bombs. 
15) “Where I’m Going” – Cut Copy (un-released).  Australian indie electronic trio drop the summer’s joyful, hand-clapping rock tune.  Come on!  Lighters in the air, tripsters!

17) “Letting Go (Dutty Love)” – Sean Kingston feat. Nicki Minaj [8-13-2010].  With his smooth Jamaican inflection and with a cameo by Nicki, the islander lays down another pop R&B track.

24) “Groove Me” – Maximum Balloon [7-27-2010].  David Steik (founder of TV on the Radio) debut side project yields electric-mix-sound.
25) “Clap Your Hands” – The Ting Tings [un-released].  New Wave anthem with a hot button refrain – “Clap Your Hands if you’re working too hard” – from scrappy indie pop duo out of Manchester, UK.
