"These are the songs they always play," says the uncredited voice at the beginning, and that says it pretty well. As an evocation of the three- or four-person Spank Rock's party-hard aesthetic, Fabriclive.33 can hardly be topped. But the kind of mix date that may sound incredible on the dancefloor is going to come with a few caveats when it's studded with innumerable songs that have already enjoyed a long shelf life before Spank Rock first put them on the decks, songs like Yello's "Bostich," "The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight" by Dominatrix, Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks," Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart," Mylo's "Drop the Pressure," the Contours' "Do You Love Me," and the Romantics' "Talking in Your Sleep" (to name seven). The occasional raps by Amanda Blank and Naeem Juwan make things a little better than the sum of their parts, but Spank Rock sounded much more original on their debut album than they do here. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

I'm Yours Jason Mraz |

'I'm Yours' was the breakthrough single of Virginia born singer-songwriter Jason Mraz. Occupying similar laid back pop/rock territory as Dido and James Blunt, 'I'm Yours' became the most played track on US radio when it was released and was also nominated for a Grammy. The song went on to enjoy worldwide chart success, breaking the top 10 of many country's national charts. Poignantly, added to its other various accolades, the record became the most tagged Shazam track in the world for all of 2008. Featuring a breezy, reggae tinged guitar line 'I'm Yours' contains the same undeniable mainstream that has made the work of fellow US guitarsmith Jack Johnson such a success.
