A show that very much stayed in the indie pop vein with lots of fine new music. The entire second set came from a recent compilation from Oddbox Records, I remember they did this last year and once again they have delivered with a bunch of great songs. The bonus is that you can download all of the song I played and many more for free from their website (see the link below).
Best song I heard since the last show - Craft Spells - Talk About The Past - Hear the song:

Every once in a while I put together a show that just comes together really well and everything works, this was one of those shows. There were three distinct themes for the sets in this show: a funky set to start off, then a set of music from bands playing the upcoming Primavera Music Festival in Barcelona (spoiler alert I'm going!), and ended with a set of music from the Cloudberry Cake Records blog. Nothing else to say, just listen for yourself.
Best song I heard since the last show - Heiko Voss - Think About You (First Version) - Listen to part of the song here (best I could do) http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/house/track/489839.html

A song from 1987 that I have never heard of was my top song of the week, thanks to the Popcasting podcast ( http://popcastingpop.com/ ) for exposing it to me.
The second set was interesting as it mostly stemmed from a few of the openers that I have seen lately and really enjoyed, bands names Bleached and Hospitality. Although I wasn't paying a great deal of attention to them when I saw them, I now wish I had as I have enjoyed listening to since seeing them. Just goes to show you that you should always try and at least listen to the opening acts to see if you should get the venue early. This is similar to what happened last year as I enjoyed the albums by both the Craft Spells and Veronica Falls more than the bands they opened for.
Best song I heard since the last show - Apple Boutique - Love Resistance - See the video here

Finally a show of relatively new music after all of the best of shows. I have been waiting a while to play the Dimitri From Paris remix of Sister Sledge which just gives me a great feeling whenever I listen to it. That led to funky opening set which I followed by a couple of sets featuring songs that have been on my MP3 player for a while.
Best song I heard since the last show - Sister Sledge - Thinking Of You (Dimitri From Paris Remix) - Listen to the song here

First song of the show (best song I heard in 2011):
