Song 1 : "Letter From God To Man" - Scroobius Pip & Dan LeSac
This track samples "Planet Telex" by Radiohead quite heavily. "Planet Telex" was originally called "Planet Xerox", Radiohead changed the title fearing a lawsuit from the corporation.
This sampling has been okayed by Radiohead, which I believe is a rare feat for anyone to achieve. What I like most about this track is the anger in Scroobius Pip's voice towards the end of the song, the like of which hasn't been heard since prime period Eminem (remember him?)
Song 2: "Blue Plastic Bags" by Malcolm Middleton
Is so good, I'm posting it again, as it mentions "Six bottles of Stella, Jacob's Creek, and twenty fags" , as well as hiding self help books inside Heat magazine to avoid the shame.
There's an interesting duality to this song, the tongue is in the cheek when he sings "sing along with the sad songs" and sends up miserablism. But then again, if you are wanting some proper good miserablism, this song is perfect too. Works on two levels, eh?
