I can't stop listening to "Bacalao" by these dudes: The New Town Centres. Witty lyrics, updated Talking Heads meets B52s sound. Perfect.

Girls Aloud - Sexy! No No No
― groovemaaan, Thursday, 26 July 2007 10:35 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

"summer haze" by manual
very nice almost shoegaze-y electronic stuff

cover of slowdive i think actually
i havent listened to slowdive in ages though?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 03:44 (sixteen years ago) link
oh i guess the slowdive cover is a different one
i'm all mixed up now

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

Sir Richard Bishop's Elysium Number Five is freakishly amayzzing. Put's me in a good mood.

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).

The Kinks - Apeman
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:
http://www.myspace.com/isole
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.

Scrolling down, it looks like I found out about so much music ITT.
Still trying to track down a decent quality version of the Bendaly / Bandali Family's 'Do You Love Me'

just came here to post exactly the same message as I did back in 2014. Anyone got a reasonable quality version of Bendaly Family - Do You Love Me?
