Good Things Come In Twos

On this Tuesday, the playlist is as follows: two takes on "Ruby Tuesday", two sweeping, dramatic Britpop tunes followed by more subdued songs by a pair of talented American singer-songwriters, plus an electronic song for the coffee generation (the breathlessly-paced Röyksopp track) and one for the herbal tea/Pinkberry crowd (Télépopmusik's fizzy, but calmer "Into Everything"). A couple (more) sweet covers finish things off: Susanna Hoffs' version of Lightning Seeds' "All I Want" and Redd Kross' jangly "How Much More", originally recorded by The Go-Gos.
