Song title: No Aphrodisiac
Artist: Whitlams
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
At time of typing, it's raining outside. So here's a classic to fit the mood.
The Whitlams would have to be the most oddest success story in Australian music history. Who would've guessed that a song borne of tragedy would be a major breakthrough hit? And would've guessed that the guys who write the snappy I Make Hamburgers could produce something of such emotional resonance?

Artist: Spain
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
Happy Valentine's Day
This is astonishing in just how haunting it is. Remarkable how this sounds better than the one that followed on Spain's album (She Haunts My Dreams).

Song title: Run With the Wind
Artist: Dappled Cities
Year: 2012
Why I like this song:
I recently got a hold of the Dappled Cities album Lake Air.
I already knew of this band and I was intrigued but it is only now that I got off my slack arse and got one of their albums.

Song title: Scramble
Artist: Yui Horie and Unscandal
Year: 2004
Why I like this song:
Its the opening to School Rumble and perfectly states the intent of the series, with laughs and lunacy.
It also helps that this song is great fun to listen to and guaranteed to put a smile on one's face.
But lets be honest: the trumpet is what seals the deal
