Afternoon Aural: Raphael Saadiq


Soul singer Raphael Saadiq's latest single, "Love That Girl," harks back to the Motown days of yore - and we love it!

Morning Aural: Sebastien Tellier


You know what you need right now? Some French pop from Sebastien Tellier, like this track, "Divine."

Afternoon Aural: The Broken Hearts


We know Halloween's over a week away, but let's get into the dark mood, anyway. Here are The Broken Hearts with "Black Cat" - it's coming!

Morning Aural: The Platters


The Fifties had the best love songs, like The Platters' "Only You." We've also included their version of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" - after the jump, of course.

Afternoon Aural: Janet Jackson


We're in the mood for some Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty,) so here's "Love Will Never Do Without You" and our favorite, "Control."

Morning Aural: Eddie Kendricks


Many of you may know Eddie Kendricks as one of The Temptations' founding fathers, but the late singer had quite a solo career of his own, as exhibited in "If You Let Me," which you'll see above, and "I Did It All For You," which we've stuffed down below.

Afternoon Aural: Jack Wagner


This is a joke. Sort of. As much as we hate to admit it, we're kind of in love with Melrose Place actor Jack Wagner's 1985 song, "Premonition." It's terrible, but in all the best ways!

Check out Wagner's slow jam, "Love Can Take Us All The Way," after the jump…

Morning Aural: Jonna Lee


This track, "I Wrote This Song," comes from Swedish singer Jonna Lee's first album, 10 pieces, 10 bruises. And we're in love with it - and you, reader!

Afternoon Aural: CocoRosie


The sky's getting a bit metal here in New York City, setting the scene for CocoRosie's "Rainbowarriors," which comes from the duo's most recent album, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn.

Morning Aural: Grand Popo Football Club


French electro duo Grand Popo Football Club's "My Territory" makes us wonder where you have your fun, reader…

Afternon Aural: Ra Ra Riot


Even if you're not into the track, you've got to lurve the video for Ra Ra Riot's "Dying Is Fine." And if you don't - well, we suggest you stage your own private, self-contained riot.

Morning Aural: Broken Social Scene


Another suggestion from our pal Dicky V: "Lover's Spit" by Broken Social Scene.

Afternoon Aural: Emiliana Torrini


We've got a total heart on for Icelandic songstress Emiliana Torrini and her twee pop track "Big Jumps."

Take a trip down Torrini's "Sunny Road" down below…

Morning Aural: Eric Burdon & War


Why were Sixties-era stoners so much more entertaining than today's breed? Ponder that as you listen to Eric Burdon and the boys from War weave their way through their 1969 hit, "Spill The Wine."

Don't Problematize The Lyrics!

There's been a lot of talk about "fauxomosexuals" as of late, largely thanks to that singer Katy "Ur So Gay" Perry and her terrible song, "I Kissed a Girl." Yeah, girl, come back when you've licked one.

Anyway, Richard Lawson of Gawker fame today brought the topic up, linking to an article in which Australian journalist Matt Bachl talks with Tim Duggan, a man who claims ladies who "play gay" or otherwise pull the wool are "doing more damage than good." Bill O'Reilly would disagree, we're sure.

Bachl was liked turned on to Duggan's take after reading the his piece "The Danger of Fauxmosexuality" in the Sydney Morning Herald. "DAnger" revolves largely around Perry, a former holy roller who Duggan says took on a queer-ish identity simply to sell records. Obviously.
