Sometimes, there are songs which you just have to play, and play and play. Recently while browsing the store, I’ve come across hundreds of songs which I think should be played everywhere. Here are some more which I have on heavy rotation. Hopefully you’ll enjoy them just as much as I do … <\/p>\n

I like a huge variety of music, from Dizzi Rascal’s ‘Dance Wiv Me’ [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>, to Madonna’s ‘Miles Away’ [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>, to The Subway’s ‘Roll and Roll Queen’ [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong> and even Keane’s ‘Spiraling’ [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>. In this second part of ‘Music We Like’ I’d like to compile a list of some of the more obscure tracks I’m currently listening to, as well as tell you a little about each. Every track featured can be downloaded through iTunes by following the link marked .<\/p>\n

Part ONE<\/a> Here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s That<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nCass McCombs<\/em> – Featuring a consistent beat, up beat rhythm and wide ranging vocals, Cass McCombs paints a picture of a man’s life cleaning toilets – (it’s a better listen, trust me).<\/p>\n

If This Is Love<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nThe Saturdays<\/em> – Taking the catchy world renown riff from Yazoo’s ‘Situation’, The Saturdays (an albeit cheese on toast selection of pop girls) mix it up, change the lyrics – and do you know what? I think it actually works. <\/p>\n

Paper Planes<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nM.I.A<\/em> – Ahh, MIA – the fairly weird-styled pop legend. Currently running as the soundtrack to the hit movie ‘Pineapple Express’ MIA outlines a rather stark visualisation of modern life.<\/p>\n

Declaration of War<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nHadouken<\/em> – Always loved Hadouken. It’s just their sheer unique style. Listen, trust me you’ll like.<\/p>\n

Pins<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nAlex Metric<\/em> – Funky shortcut beat, drum machines and more. Alex Metric takes you on a journey of sheer electronic rave.<\/p>\n

Bad Day<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nR.E.M<\/em> – REM. One of the biggest bands in the world. I went to see them live recently (photos<\/a>), they blew we away. Bad Day has to be one of their greatest songs to date. Putting it on when your having a bad day, and your bad day will just fade away …<\/p>\n

Bruises<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nChairlift<\/em> – Perhaps the only track i like off their current album, and currently the backing to Apple’s new iPod nano advert ‘Nano-Cromatic’, you can’t help but love this track, very catchy!<\/p>\n

Black Panther<\/strong> [iTunes<\/a>]<\/strong>
\nCrystal Castles<\/em> – Electronic rave, subtly put.<\/p>\n

Tune into Part 3<\/strong> sometime in October<\/strong>.
