The Roots: the new Late Night house band!?

Song In The Head: Paolo Nutini's "New Shoes"

This is about as perfect as pop music gets. Four chords and an indelible melody sung with a light Scottish lilt. For the sake of my mental health, I think I'll have to set this as my morning alarm.

A happy song, for happy times...



Sounds like Daft Punk covering Jackson 5. Can't go too wrong with that...
