Hey, Muusers…

So, I’ve unexpectedly fallen ill (I’ve been couch-bound all day–and I didn’t even drink last night!), but when I saw that this radio interview occurred, I knew that it was a perfect fit for the first post of 2010.

Click here to listen to Nuhdeen Coyle and Alan Carr tick off some of the greatest British songs of the Noughties for The Great British Songbook on BBC’s Radio 2 (It starts at the 18:30 mark).

Loads of great song selections, great dialogue between the two (Nuhdeen speak in full force!), and quite a few unexpected call-in guests, including Heidi Range, Adele, and Paloma Faith.

For Girls Aloud fans, NuhdeenNuts, and any and all Brit pop fanatics…this is a must listen. Trust me, it’s brightened my spirits, and I can barely move my body!

I guess I missed the memo, but apparently the members of Basement Jaxx are set to release an album-turned-”Who’s Who of Cool” compendium in just a few short weeks from now.

With collaborations from Kelis to Sam Sparro to Yoko Ono, the Jaxx’s fifth studio effort Scars (due out on September 21 on XL Recordings) looks to be quite the floor filler. Tentatively speaking, of course.

And now for the awe-inspiring track listing:

1. Scars ft. Kelis, Maleka & Chipmunk
2. Raindrops
3. She’s No Good ft. Eli “Paperboy” Reed
4. Saga ft. Santigold
5. Feelings Gone ft. Sam Sparro

7. A Possibility ft. Amp Fiddler
8. Twerk ft. Yo Majesty
