Deerhunter
life just passed and flashed right through me
This song comes from Deerhunter's last full-length studio album, Microcastle. There's a video that's been floating around the web of a prepubescent band in the States covering this track and while they don't quite capture it's insistent rhythm it's really heartening to know really young musicians are listening to this kind of music.
Iggy Pop
well the day begins / you don't want to live
I've had this on constant replay over the last few weeks, hooked on Pop's voice and the saxophone solo of none other than David Bowie.
Toro y Moi
listen to me / she gets in your head
This single's at loggerheads with Toro's last album and promises a lot for his upcoming LP.
The Roots
pray for me / if it ain't too much bother
Two great songs that have surfaced in the lead-up to the next Roots album.
Shuggie Otis
aht uh mi hed / je t'aime
Have had this first song for a long time but only revisited my small Shuggie Otis collection after hearing a cover of Strawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson (of "Stomp" fame)
Wilfred Jackal
you know you can't stand in the way
Fantastic single from a criminally underrated and unsigned Melbourne band.
The Strokes
he seemed impressed
Finally a stone cold classic from the Strokes that begs instant replay.
