Track Of The Week

I have two or three right now:

Of Montreal - Gronlandic Epic
Some kind of Beach Boys disco loveliness. Great harmonies on this.

Wau Y Los Arrrghs! - Momia Twist
Absolutely mind-blowing monster-garage from Valencia in Spain. Check out 'Demoler' too. This will destroy you!

Belle Epoque - Miss Broadway
It's a tough-as-nails piece of French disco that's recently been remixed into some bangin house versions.

Oh yeah - Dr. Wu by Steely Dan is awesome too!

Mona Mur: "Man on the Satellite" (ca 1990) -- totally OTT/WTF orchestral German cabaretgoth godbotherage. Streamed on http://www.myspace.com/monamur.

Mona Mur - is this brilliant or is it madness? It took my brain a little while to work out what was going on. Reminds me of O Superman by Laurie Anderson.

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

since my last post:
060510: Roisin Murphy - Overpowered
060517: Sopho - Visionary Dream
060524: MIA - Boyz
060531: Justice - New Jack
060607: Kelly Rowland (ft. Eve) - Like This
060614: Christian Falk (ft. Robyn) - Remember

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.

“Back in Your Head,” by Tegan and Sara

Do You Love Me? - Bendaly Family, Kuwait 1978

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.

Trace Adkins "I Came Here To Live"

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.

milton, you're the best!!

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 wish people posted more new stuff!

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.

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
