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.
― anatol_merklich, Monday, 18 June 2007 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
― mitya, Wednesday, 20 June 2007 14:08 (sixteen years ago) link
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 can't stop listening to "Bacalao" by these dudes: The New Town Centres. Witty lyrics, updated Talking Heads meets B52s sound. Perfect.

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.
