My main - the spiky, gothy Scheer - are back up for consideration, but I just encourage you to listen to these tunes and vote accordingly. The mid-90s bangers are banging, mid-90s style.

#TheN0ughtie5 49 The Ting Tings That's Not My Name 2008 UK A super-addictive tune, from the skipping rope intro to the shout-along chorus.

#TheN0ughtie5 48 Roots Manuva Witness (1 Hope) 2001 UK Even being used in two different ad campaigns at the same time last year couldn't make me love this less. Proper banger.

Once again voting for great songs from 1996, but this time one of my picks is in there! Maybe spare a moment to listen to Scheer, and perhaps even give them a wee vote.

#TheN0ughtie5 47 La Roux Bulletproof 2009 UK An impeccable retro synth banger with an addictive stomp to it.

YAY! I was starting to worry that we'd heard the last of Spread Joy, so this was very welcome news. The one song they've made available sounds like herky-jerky-squeaky-bouncy business as usual, which delights me still further. YAY, I say!
