Kevin Bacon, centre of the universe, features in a very clever television advertisement for a UK mobile network. Genius. Watch…

… however, one of my friends uses this network and has been without internet for three weeks. Therefore, nice ad, shame about the service. Which led to me to Nice Legs Shame About The Face, this week's earworm.

An earworm that promises dreams and oooh pretty video. Air - All I Need (Extended Version)

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/64/74633044.png This Is My Jam: Tame Impala - Half Full Glass Of Wine
Cream-y with shifting speeds and catchy lyrics. Been so long / Since I held your hand / You don't know / How hard it can be!

Out this week is the new album by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Lost Songs. [Spotify]

This week's earworm is Bat for Lashes - Oh Yeah, off the new album, The Haunted Man. Aside from the lyrics and that electronic Oh Yeah, what stands out for me is the music, it's pure Japan and I'm hearing Mick Karn (RIP).

Talking of whom, super treat here, Steve Jansen - Ballad Of A Deadman, featuring vocals by David Sylvian and Joan As Police Woman

My earworm today is a very lovely one that will see me through the festive season. Sufjan Stevens - Christmas Unicorn is a 12 minute long track from the Christmas box-set Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10, a compilation of 5 EPs recorded between 2006 and 2010. More details and stream the song here. Oh I'm a Christmas unicorn… lalalala mistletoe on my nose. And then later on it turns into something very unexpected indeed. I shan't spoil the surprise, open your present…

This week's earworm is also this week's Jam. Or rather, the original Free Man in Paris by Joni Mitchell is, but this is such a surprise, I can't stop playing it.

Also notable is this somewhat disturbing video for Flying Lotus - Putty Boy Strut, from the new album, Until The Quiet Comes, out this week.

And finally, a track I wanted to post sooner, one of the sweetest album closers ever. Melody's Echo Chamber - Be Proud Of Your Kids Taaa-taraaaa!

This week's earworm is also this week's Jam. I don't really mind, I really don't, I mean it, I don't.

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/64/74633044.png This Is My Jam: Tame Impala - I Don't Really Mind

The new album by Melody's Echo Chamber - Melody's Echo Chamber was recorded with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala. ( NPR ). My favourite track is the last one, Be Proud Of Your Kids

This week's evil earworm is Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe. Yeah I said it. Suffer with me. Actually, this Bugs Bunny video makes it bearable.

My favourite album this week looks like is going to be Amanda Palmer - Theatre Is Evil. I liked her in The Dresden Dolls, but I like her more now. The album is not so loud and more musical and there's much to enjoy, not least the NSFW lyrics. One of the best tracks is this week's jam…

It's all over!! Today's earworm is by Coldplay who played at last night's closing ceremony. The Scientist, "Take me back to the start…"

My favourite album of last week was Easy Star All-Stars - Thrillah, their cover of Michael Jackson's Thriller. There's only one track we all want to hear, isn't there….

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/64/74633044.png This Is My Jam:
Easy Star All-Stars – Thriller (feat. Mikey General and Spragga Benz)

Babs…
