Track Of The Week

recognize

i wish people posted more new stuff!

Mine was new! EP only came out last year!

well, I'm predictably listening to the new tokyo jihen song about 5-6 times a day

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

Powerhouse Sound - "2-1-75"

incredible tracks I've heard this week (lots of them for the first time yesterday):

ronny and renzo - big smack and flies (mungolian jetset's medievel knievel remix)

differnet - caring arms (jesse somfay remix)

glissandro 70 - bolan muppets

odyssey - who

sorry, really couldn't choose one. just very enthusiastic about music this week.

Girls Aloud - Sexy! No No No

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.

The Dancing - June Tabor, from her latest album Apples.

Much prefer this, if we're on an MTV Tr3s kick:

Great guitar.

division by zero, "ball blazer"

is it al b. sure "night and day" that the human voice/synth string wash things remind me of? whatever it is, lovely. yeah, justus!

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.

"born to be wild"- fanfare ciocarlia

"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?

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.

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

Film School - 'Lectric (thanks to another ILM thread!)

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.

melvins & hank williams III - rambling man

sam cooke - cupid

am i the only person on this thread any more?

Anyway,

Walker Brothers - The Electrician

(anyone who can recommend more stuff like this, Bowie's "Stay", Talking Heads' "The Great Curve" etc, that would be ace

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?
