Kavinsky - Nightcall

All night. Great 'driving' song, if you know what I mean.

Great Bowie album, or Greatest?

It's a close, four way tie between Ziggy Stardust, Low, and "Heroes", and Station to Station.



Caught myself singing this in the shower this morning. It's a great way to start your day, I highly recommend it.

Warren G & Nate Dogg - Regulate

R.I.P. Nate Dogg

New Sleigh Bells song samples one of my all time favourite songs

Sleigh Bells "Rill Rill"



Funkadelic - "Can You Get To That"



If you haven't heard the album this song is from, Maggot Brain, go listen to it now.

Tipped off from the NPR All Songs Considered podcast.

Some classic house

Loving this one lately:

#4 with a bullet

M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" is enjoying a surge on the Billboard Hot 100 lately, possibly due to the fact that the track is featured so heavily in the Pinapple Express trailer.

First issued in LP form on last year's Kala, the track has received a well deserved spike in chart popularity.

The track now appears to be heading into its chart decline, after peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.



Excellent for driving slowly past suburban public schools in a mini-van. (not actually recommended)

Isn't anything sacred?

There's still tickets remaining for My Bloody Valentine's reunion tour stop in Toronto, September 25th. At first that almost sounds weird, except for the part about the show being at one of the worst concert venues in the city, Ricoh Coliseum. I'm not sure who the band hired to plan this tour, but they should consider firing them immediately.

I think I'll skip out on this one, and leave one of my favourite albums, Loveless, where it belongs, headphones & stereos.

If you haven't heard of the band or the album, it's probably time you caught up with the rest of the cool people on the planet and gave the album a listen. If you're into British rock, shoegazing or music that takes you into a dream, there's no excuse to have missed them!


Loveless @ Wikipedia
-Not a bad article, especially since most of the entry was taken from the excellent 33 1/3 series.

My Bloody Valentine - Soon

Sunday morning, you sure look fine

It's been kind of a Fleetwood Mac day. Here's a couple things I've been listening to, both are among my favourite all-time songs.

Fleetwood Mac - "Dreams"



Here's a Stevie Nicks track that Prince played keyboard on. Awesome song. Around 2:30 or so there's some serious Quincy Jones/Off the Wall guitars that totally break out.

Stevie Nicks - "Stand Back"
