1990? Oh jesus I thought this was new. It makes a bit more sense, contextually now.

just not managing to listen to (or get excited by) enough new stuff really so a lot of these picks are just 'my favourite new thing i heard over that 7 day period' but could be a lot worse!

is this brilliant or is it madness?
Haha yes to me it was all a bit "hang on surely she can't get away with this?" but I think somehow she does.
Apparently she got a Single of the Week in the NME in 1982 or something, and recently has made video game soundtracks.

Massive Kudos to anyone who can find me a decent quality MP3 of this song.

Just seeing off Amerie's "Take Control" and Rod Thomas "Your Love Is A Tease", my Track Of The Week is Cocorosie's "You Wanna Fuck Me", which is the re-working of Akon's "I Wanna Love You" which knocked me out when they played Nottingham a few days ago.
"You see me trying to smile up on this pole, but I'm just hiding the pain that’s deep in my soul. You wanna fuck me, I already know. You wanna fuck me, and toss me back on the floor."

they're most often romanicized as 'Bandaly Family' -- once I figured that out, Google started coming through: http://www.morrisclub.ch/music/lbartist/bandaly.html
the studio version is taken at a much slower tempo, & without the shift into partridge family overdrive. for iPod listening I just use my rip of the youtube version, I even like the lo-fi sound
there's a few more Bandaly/Bendaly clips on youtube now

My track of the week would have to be Giorgio Moroder's "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone", near the end of From Here to Eternity. I love his dance tracks that are just a little too slow to dance to.

This week, I've been loving "Sons of the Burgess Shale" by Bell Hollow. Awesome 80s gloomy new wave rock, a la Comsat Angels/Bunnymen/Chams.

bit of a shame it's not quite as mental as the one on the video, but no matter! i think half the appeal of that song might be the video actually. still it's a great tune.

I am quite enjoying "The Con" by Tegan and Sara, after some disappointment with the darker, less propulsive with the other tracks I've hear from the new album. The girls seem to have toned down the squealy voices that put me off them initially (upon hearing So Jealous). I think what sucked me in was the whirly synth solo that sounds straight out of a cheesy Utopia song from 1982 or something.

This happens to me a lot, getting stuck on someone's myspace page but I am totally stricken with the dead bodies at the moment. I don't know anything about them except what it says on there. Sorry if this has come up in a million other threads that I didn't read but I think they are really great.
I like all 4 songs on there but I think "Dancing Has No Class" is my favorite right now.

Casa de Leones - No Te Veo
I think this is what some people mean by socaton and other people are saying it's similar to the infamous Coupe Decale. Anyway, I mostly like it on one listen.

I have a couple:
Sniff and Tears - Driver's Seat This was mentioned on a thread and it appeared on a compilation I happened to have but hadn't heard this one. Played it the other night while DJing and had three people ask me what it was. By the end, I knew it was a classic. Great Power Pop stuff.
Apples In Stereo - Can You Feel It? I played this too. It's unabashedly cheesy, feel-good stuff with a wicked vocodered dropout and a really funny ending.
Talking Heads - Blind It's off of Naked, which I assumed was going to be bollock s but is actually fucking cool.

is that a new manual? I had their (his?) first album a few years ago and haven't heard anything from them ever since. They may have done other stuff; they just fell off my radar.
― pgwp, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 04:31 (sixteen years ago) link
it's from a new 2-disc compilation
the first disc is mostly in the style of his past couple albums: big shoegaze-y synth and guitar washes with tasteful glitchdrums
the second disc is beatless melodic ambient stuff
the aforementioned "summer haze" is the only thing on either disc that's stood out so far

I can't decide on just one:
Flat Duo Jets - Old Soul (pretty unremarkable psychobilly song if it wasn't so much fun in its simple spasticity)
Iron and Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth (A sort of spiritual brother to Animal Collective's "Prospect Hummer". Really pretty closer to a really good album).
Spoon - Sister Jack ('Ga x5' may be their best album yet but it got me back into Gimme Fiction and this track is great. I especially like the bit about a "Drop-D Metal band called Requiem" and the coda which sounds all disjointed and uneven as if an extra beat's been stuck in somewhere).

So I never really undertood the Kinks till I heard this song. The fella sounds genuinely fed up and scared, despite the superficial cheeriness of this song.

why doesnt La Dusseldorf's 'Viva' go on forever like all Neu! songs do? someone should just make it the new European Anthem already. im always imagining a bunch of day glo glittered freaks waving banners as they march over a hill. Feynoord FC meets Fellini.

my favorite song of the week is "By Blood" by Isole. Swedish epic doom metal. What can I say, it speaks to me. you can hear it on their myspace:

it doesn't sound COMPLETELY horrible on myspace. but it sounds like myspace. it's my-fidelity. just so you know. i can't do anything about that.

Le Grand Orchestre Du Splendid - Macao
Weird French cabaret gangster-reggae. If anyone can get the b-side "Jaime Les Bananes" on digital format, I'd love that. They're an excellent band, who the only English-speaking counterparts I can think of are the Bonzo Dog Band, but not really.
