Sony threw a little party at the House of Blues the other day. On offer? Booze, no doubt, and perhaps even blues, but also the PS3 version of SingStar. Journos in attendance reported good times, as you'd expect, but they also came away from the night with 15 of the 30 pack-in songs scribbled down on the back of soggy drinks coasters.

Monster by The Automatic
Toxic by Britney Spears
Lets Dance by David Bowie
Do You Want To by Franz Ferdinand
Mr Brightside by The Killers
So Sick by Ne-Yo
Hey Ya by Outkast
Here Comes Your Man by Pixies
Go With The Flow by Queens of the Stone Age
No Surprises by Radiohead
Losing my Religion by REM
I Don't Feel Like Dancin by Scissor Sisters
Beautiful Day by U2
Buddy Holly by Weezer
Love Train by Wolfmother

Your typical SingStar scattering, then. Some you enjoy. Some you'd sing, grudgingly, after six beers. Others you'd never sing, ever, and would cast the disc into the void if it could guarantee you'd never hear them again. Yes, Mr. Brightside, I'm looking at you (provided no harm would come to Eric Roberts, of course).
