Listen to the two baselines battle and then that pretty little melody as it soars on top of the funk of that, like a white bird in a blue sky. I'm so happy today thanks to The Youngsters! Bang on!

Right this minute TI is mad for North London outfit, The Chap. I find them so funny. BBC punter John Peel would have lived for them. They are so normal their fans say they look like teachers and that's too true. Their new album "Mega Breakfast" has this really droll track, "Fun and Interesting" with a chorus that goes "My generation/Needs another me" . I like their live videos.Get into the drummer and his LED T-shirt (coming to a runway near you) and the kids in the audience are beyond cute. I ache for London right now!

Giorgio Moroder was the producer behind Donna Summer's genius "I Feel Love". There's a famous story, which David Bowie likes to wheel out, about that time in the late 70's when Brian Eno rang him up screaming that he had just heard the future. He dashes over to Bowie's hotel room and puts on "I Feel Love" . " That wonderful soulful singing over that cold Germanic machine music! It's the future!" Eno was said to have declared. He was right. TI loves cold Germanic machine music and this track is taken from Moroder's solo album E=MC 2. Get into the shout-outs to the production team at the end. Hilarious!

The new Sigur Ros actually has vocals audibly mixed! Run don't walk and download this !

A new Sigur Ros album you just buy without listening...without asking. Because! But then to have Ryan McGinley doing the artwork . What!!!!! A generation of kids will treasure this. Its very the here and now. Take the lead single Gobbledigook for example...

What a week its been! TI looks forward to a maximum of chilling out...with the languid sounds of Twine on the turntable!

Yeah, yeah I know I'm late to the party but thanks to those hot links at hommestar.com I've learnt to looooooove the new "These New Puritans". Especially this banging track "Elvis". Very "walkable". Both on the runways and the sidewalks !

I had a dream that the children of Timbaland and Basement Jaxx would one day get together on the dancefloor and bang like there were no barriers. And in my dream, they'd bang to this track. TGIF !!!!

TI LOOOOOOOOOVES Boy 8 Bit!

The light in NYC today is gorge beyond words. I'm going to walk home this evening with this track banging on the phones. It takes me back to my 90's rave kid moments. Think Liquid Sky and NASA nights! I couldn't find an mp3 so I cheated and embedded this upload for your listening pleasure:

TI won't argue with a group that got their name from a Roxy Music song. Ghosts is from the new LP "Velocifero" . TI lives for the goth chic look of the lead singer here, Ms. Helen Marnie. Highly editorial.

TI's fave tracks on the new Chin Chin are "Mr Sexy Boy" and "Dontusee". Viva tha vocoder!

NYC. Summer 2008. TI's soundtrack will be Chin Chin's debut LP. The Big Apple is back kids!
