FLYTE - Faithless

Joe writes: Not so long ago bands were dismissed out of hand for referencing The Beatles. Now it seems refreshing. Flyte's other songs are not so Beatles-y, and their singer Will Taylor (formerly of The Ashbies) has it, as you can see from this video. They could be huge.

Belle Stars - Iko Iko

Joe writes: While in France I heard this track from 1982 on Radio Nostalgie. The Belle Stars were signed to Stiff Records and this became a hit in the US after featuring on the soundtrack to Rain Man, apparently at Dustin Hoffman's suggestion. It's weirdly futuristic and very Xenomania.
