Let Me Down Gently

When I think of La Roux I think of two things. Awesome music and awesome hair. I went back and re-listened their first album just because my appetite has been wet with this one song and the new album isn't out for another 6 weeks. Enjoy!

CaptainBiggie

There's a pretty juxtaposition between the rustic and simple guitar strums and the bass drum backed Biggie sample happening in this track. The samples used are great, and reminded me of "I let my tape rock till my tape pop" for the image that accompanies this post. Enjoy!

Destino Ibiza Podcast 038

Another bang up set from my buddy Mickey The Rat for the Pacha branch, Destino Ibiza. The last few songs are so fucking powerful that I've had the set for only 2 days and have played it more than 6 times.  The 4th to the last song starts it off, and boy is that track strong (Walking With Elephants, 44mins in). Set back, listen to the entire thing with as few distractions as possible and Enjoy!

Sexy Socialite

I love the back and forth "You're a Sexy Socialite / No I'm not, no I'm not". Chromeo is fun, goofy, danceable, singable, and everything else that great music should be. Enjoy!

Joey Vision

This is my favorite part:

"And I'm down on my luck
As if im doing it wrong
Because All my friends say I write the same damn song
They're wrong"

Heart Attack Again

There's something fantastically 90's R&B about this track that I celebrate. The melody of the title introduced at the beginning of the song is so catchy and enjoyable.  Am I the only one who wants to get up and strut like I'm discovering New Jack Swing for the first time? Needless to say, this is a fun one. Enjoy!

Flyin' High

I'm really feeling the audio journey that this song takes. Delicate Steve makes me feel like I'm listening to Delicate Ratatat, with the lead guitar singing in the foreground in place of traditional lyrics. I want to jam along with the electric guitar going up and down while the scene builds and builds then all of a sudden it all just fades away as soon as it appears. Enjoy!
