Lykke Li - Get Some (Beck remix)

Beck remixed Lykke Li and it’s awesome. Real gritty and pounding.

Paul McCartney - Temporary Secretary (1980)

barthel:

I imagine the Internet would’ve blown up if McCartney had played this on SNL tonight, but still, I hold out hope.

Good god. This could pass for a fucking Danish flexipop synth experiment, or something.

woah, David Lynch makes music now? Awesome. 2 songs released to iTunes, DangerMouse produced with help from Sparklehorse. I like it. The chorus is really catchy.

Desmond Dekker - “Shanty Town”

Today’s a 1st wave ska/rocksteady kind of day. If you like this song, check out the soundtrack to The Harder They Come - the record that brought/popularized jamaican music to the US. So so good.

The Blow - “True Affection”

Everyone could use more of The Blow in their day, so I’m posting this. So catchy and danceable and sweet.

Otouto - “Spot”

Otouto is a minimalist keyboard-based trio from Australia. We just played a show with them in Phoenix and their sound wrapped all of us up with admiring googly eyes during their whole set. Really unique, airy, meditative sound that totally captivates. Perfect for a really long drive.

Jeremy Messersmith - A Girl, a Boy, a Graveyard

Through Tumblr, I discover new musicians all the time but very few of them I immediately take a liking to. Someone I follow posted a Youtube video of Jeremy Messersmith a few days ago and his 2010 album, The Reluctant Graveyard, is now in heavy rotation in my iTunes.

Some critics have made the argument that Messersmith’s three first albums are a sort of trilogy; which is particularly apt considering he is a huge Star Wars fan.

More folksy and quiet than the rest of the album, A Boy, a Girl, a Graveyard is more of a story than a song. With its soft acoustic guitar, violins, echoing vocals with beautiful lyrics. It’s a combination I’m a for which I am a complete sucker.
