That seems to be most people's favourite out of the 00s output.Personally I do like the album that 'The Power of Orange Knickers' is on - The Beekeeper - but that song was never a fave for me either. Some of the melody is nice though.

October 5Oct 5 Chez self recycling?Good entry though (as you can see it snuck into my points) and thank you for the silver medal
October 5Oct 5 Author Jaz13musicDavid Byrne and Fatboy Slim both started out with groups, Talking Heads (1977) and The Housemartins (1985) respectively. David Byrne's first solo album came out in 1989 while Fatboy Slim made his debut with a single in 1995. Here Lies Love is a musical based on the life of Imelda Marcos and the title track which was entered (from 2010) features vocals from Florence Welch without her machine.Here’s my votes. Some excellent songs, most of which were new to me. Love a bit of Kate quirkiness though!12 Mrs. Bartolozzi – Kate Bush10 Little Motel – Modest Mouse8 Hold My Hand – UNKLE7 Ever Again – Robyn6 Center of the Universe – Axwell5 You Lost Me – Christina Aguilera4 Land of Hope and Dreams – Bruce Springsteen3 Unspeakable – Ace of Base2 Love's Divine – Seal1 Put Your Hands Up – Matchbox Twenty

October 5Oct 5 I first entered Cusco to BJSC in the 100th edition (almost ten years to the date!), it sadly DNQed amongst a huge pool of entrants so I perhaps misjudged sending it at that time, they were an artist that pretty much fit the theme exactly and with me since visiting Peru, what better time to bring them back! I debated between this and Oracle of Delphi, that was a bit more accessible and shorter, but couldn't resist the topical reference in the title.I suppose we'll see if I can improve on my placing last time (thanks Jade for the solitary point so far x)1 minute ago, Jade said:Chez self recycling?My mantra is always that if my artist can't get justice the first time, then we must take every chance we can get to remedy this!

October 5Oct 5 To say I sent the wrong entry is an understatement 😂It doesn't surprise me that Christina is doing well, it's a shame that came from the floppy Bionic because it should have been a huge hit, and would have been from Stripped or Back To Basics.
