Guest Top 5 Songs of the Week: iHearditOn.com Fan Bioflava

This week's guest Top 5 features one of our original fans, Bioflava. We asked him for a Top 5 in full appreciation for his honest and consistent feedback, which has been pushing us in the right direction since March:

• leading us away from the original purple color scheme ("hurts my eyes");
• improving our comments on each track ("I like your general approach to providing comment on the tracks, but wish it was more consistent"), and
• most recently, our general direction ("Lots of cool stuff on the site so keep up the great work!"). 

When you're a start-up site, you especially appreciate the feedback you get from your power users, so an especially big thank you to Bioflava for his loyal support!

1. Uffie, "Pop the Glock" (Video) (Bioflava: Sexy and weird -- just like Uffie -- this track is begging for a XXX deep bass remix; Ant: I have always loved this song...and her)
2. Thom Yorke, "Hearing Damage" (Stream) (Bioflava: Everything we like about Thom -- great lyrics, atmospherics and nice beats -- without too much whine; Ant: New Darkness from Thom. This joint is also on the Twilight soundtrack.)
3. The Noisettes feat Wale & Estelle, “Don’t Upset The Rhythm” (mp3) (Bioflava: Everything I love about The Noisettes -- great energy and songwriting -- with a nice urban edge; Ant: New vibe for them, not mad at it)
4. Theophilus London, “Enjoy The Sun” (mp3) (Bioflava: Nice mix of pop, electronic and hip-hop elements -- push the tempo up 10 bpm and this will move a club; Ant: Posted the vid yesterday, now take this one home with you.)
5. School of the Seven Bells, "Connjur" (Stream) (Bioflava: Ambient, arty and great live -- this group of neo-psychedelic noise makers from Brooklyn are worth catching live. (4th track down))

And one more review of a track we posted last month, because his writing here is killer:

• Massive Attack "Splitting the Atom" (MP3) (Bioflava: Dark and delicious -- this track feels like someone drank too much whiskey and then dipped a Mellotron in chocolate.)
