Here’s Sticky Lips from 2005’s Choice-nominated Moon Pool album :

And the Shock website and blog are something else, really, a varied hall of great names lay out their ideal soundtrack…just as our tasteful lads at Egoeccentric invite discerning musicians - though how Razorlight got in there is a mystery - to pick tracks for a Hangover Mixtape.

This is how/why/where:
