Songs of the Month: Major Maker, Rollercoaster and Fratellis, Flathead

My local alternative radio station has been doing throwback top-tens on Sunday afternoons lately. A few weeks back they did their top ten songs from 2007, and I went on a nostalgia trip rediscovering songs I hadn’t heard since my teens, many of which I’d forgotten existed. Of those, these were the two that left the strongest impression.

I seem to remember thinking these songs were just okay back in the day, but now that they remind me of what may have been the only truly good period in my life, they feel like the peak of human cultural achievement.
