My son is cooler than me

One of the things you will quickly find out about RD and me is that he is much cooler than I am. I mean did you all not see that last post. He has basically rocketed himself into indie stardom with that single post. So I decided that there was no way I could top it, so I did the opposite. I actually made myself less cool. You see, I am generally way behind on things (and by things I mean cool music). Richard usually informs me about the best and the brightest. That’s why I thought my top 6 was so much cooler than you may expect from me. Anyway these next four songs are songs that I should have known about many years ago, but they are nevertheless absolutely brilliant. But these four songs should definitely be included in a most listened to list for me this year.
