#TheN0ughtie5 Day 7
#44 Felix Da Housecat feat. Miss Kittin - Silver Screen (Shower Scene) (2001 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 )
Shiny, pumping, house beats and just so slick.
#TheN0ughtie5 Day 6
#45 Saint Etienne - Heart Failed (In the Back of a Taxi) (2000 🇬🇧 )
You can always count on Saint Etienne for a swoony, sad, nostalgia-infused track - this one with a bite of anger too.
#TheN0ughtie5 Day 5
#46 Spank Rock - Bump (2006 🇺🇸 )
Slightly spicy, textured (love the drones and the crisp percussion), rap for a Friday. Amanda Blank in particular is keeping her sh1t nasty, including throwing some shade at Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas.
#TheN0ughtie5 Day 4
#47 Mis-Teeq - Scandalous (2003 🇬🇧)
🚨Wah Wah Wah Wah 🚨
Still feels completely fresh, what a slinky tune - Mis-Teeq are currently so back.
#TheN0ughtie5 Day 3
#48 CSS - Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above (2006* 🇧🇷)
Bags of fun and also representing a slew of skinny jeans/ fluorescent pops bands (looking at you New Young Pony Club). I had forgotten the term 'new-rave'!
[* Wiki has four dates so I went for the discogs one.]
#TheN0ughtie5 Day 2
#49 Tweet feat. Missy Elliott (3/3) - Oops (Oh My) (2002 🇺🇸)
Missy Elliott is the only artist who gets more than one named pick because she is Missy Elliott and she rules. This track, though, appears on the list purely because of Charlene Keys and her intoxicating sultriness.
#TheN0ughtie5 Day 1
#50 The Chemical Brothers feat Q-Tip - Galvanize (2004 🇬🇧 🇺🇸)
"Don't hold back ..."
I'm ranking. Starting with a 90s favourite, who stormed at Glastonbury '04 and always seemed to be one of the picks at (very 00s) BFI BUG (where I discovered a few of my possible HMs).
