Song three on the countdown was the first song of the week for 2009: I am by Novel. I love the lyrics and how in the video each person has a light emanating from their chest/heart area, highlighting the fact that we are all one and that we are more than our bodies. I have replayed this song many times over the year as a way to remind myself of both of those things.
You can visit the original posting of this song for sample song lyrics and more information about the collaboration between Novel and Ben Folds.

Song six on the countdown was released 30 years ago but thanks to YouTube, this year I experienced the song in a new way. I used to listen to PiL on my walkman and I always felt energized. Sometimes I even danced around when I heard it. But it never occurred to me that groups of young people would be going wild about it on American Banstand.
John Lydon sure did know how to activate a crowd and watching him in action makes it worth bringing this song out of the vault.

This tune was the song of the week on June 9. Which is the day their album The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies) was released. I posted a blog with lyrics if you'd like to read along as you listen.

Song number eight is Fight Riff by Eula. I like DIY feel of the video, reminiscent of the Clash and other artists from London who used the desert or an industrial wasteland as their set.
Singer Elyse exudes an artistic flair with punk rock edge. It's a fun song with a strong beat and great to have on my iPod and listen to while I'm out for a walk. I recommend purchasing the entire Language of Threat EP. In the meantime, you can see the YouTube video here.
