#33: Old Gold - A Night Out With Cut Copy (2006)
Way back in 2006 Cut Copy pulled together a mix for Triple 5 Soul featuring the year's big dance floor tracks/bangers sprinkled with Cut Copy's electro-pop sensibilities turning out a mix for all seasons, for the people, not necessarily by the people. Think "The World is Running Down" by The Police being run down by Tiga's "You Gonna Want Me" melted effortlessly into Digitalism's "Zdarlight" and you've only really hit the tip. There's so much more, and not being one to spoil the surprises, as is with these things your ears will be the best judge.
Download: Van She - "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (Holy Ghost! Remix)
Not too long ago we prescribed you with Van She's cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". But if that fever still persists then we highly recommend that it's about time for your second dosage, in the form of a Holy Ghost! remix of the very same track. As if the original wasn't enough, Holy Ghost! do what they do best and take team Van She's effort and make it their own.
Rumour of the day/week/month: James Murphy wouldn't let Holy Ghost! within an inch of the precious DFA cowbell, so he took a 'personal day and trekked to their studio in Paris to play it himself.
Virtual Kris Kringle #12: Magic Happens
Wildcat Magic Happens returns the favour and sends a well-executed Kris Kringle gift smack bang into Dreamtime's lap.
Album of 2009: Memory Tapes - Seek Magic
Song of 2009: Shit Robot - "Simple Things (Work It Out)"

Jonathan Boulet Triple J Feature Album All This Week
His debut album has barely been out on shelves for a fortnight, but it still seems that 21-year-old Jonathan Boulet is on nothing short of a winning streak. After career highs most artists can only dream of (ie - the infamous Kanye shout out), Jono is well and truly on a roll: having scored the illustrious "Feature Album" slot all next week on Triple J.

Back To The Future with Severed Heads
When you meet Tom Ellard it's hard to ignore a resonating desire to forget about the past. His groundbreaking ideas as a musician came about from a contempt for rock 'n' roll and guitar oriented bands. It was a formula Tom had seen for years, one that felt tired and repetitive as the seventies drew to a close.
