Merchandise - “In Nightmare Room”
Refreshing to see that these guys have no interest in employing the right PR firm or management team which seems to be the necessary first step in the now well-worn path of completely “spontaneous” Big Blog mentions culminating in a perfunctory NYTimes/Slate/The Atlantic/HuffPo trend piece.
Slowdive - “Alison”
The Isley Brothers - “Don’t Say Goodnight”
Cocorosie - “We Are On Fire”
I like this song but I’m holding out hope that the Antony version will be way better. Joanna Newsom needs to release a song this year to capitalize on the baby voices movement.
Eddie Kendricks - “My People…Hold On”
Brandy - “Where Are You Now”
Andre Crom - “Holdin’ On”
My resident advisor Britney says “it’s kinda tech housey for me,” so your mileage may vary.
Golden Boy and Miss Kittin - “Rippin Kittin”
Fist pumping to this earned me a couple of cold stares from the goths last night
Band Names That Have Prevented Me From Checking Out A Band
The Joy Formidable

Francis and The Lights
Umphrey’s Mcgee
Ducktails
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
Phew - “Himitsu No Knife”
Death - “Freakin Out”
In which punk is like baseball
Mariah Carey - “Weakness of the Body”

Altered Images - “Happy Birthday”
ABBA - “Knowing Me, Knowing You”
Arthur Russell - “This Is How We Walk On The Moon”
RIP to Iowa’s greatest son
