2010 Spring Playlist
Not a lot to say about these tracks this time around, just dig in and listen.
The XX – “VCR”
Sasha Frere-Jones says it best, “the songs on “xx” are as intimate as pop gets, and, now that I’ve fallen for the music, it makes complete sense that it baffled me live. These are songs to be sung inches from someone’s ear, preferably with the lights off.”
Broken Bells – “The High Road”
DJ Danger Mouse is back with the The Shins front man, James Mercer, to form Broken Bells. I’ve only heard this track, but love it.
Quincy Jones – “Hikky-Burr”
You may recognize this as the theme song from The Cosby Show, and that may be 20% of why I love it. The other 80% is because it’s damn good.
Rihanna – “Hard”
This is my JAAAAMMMM! Aw, yea yea yea! That Rihanna reign just won’t let up…
Weezer – “Can’t Stop Partying”
Weezer and Weezy? Yes Please.
Ben Sollee – “A Change is Gonna Come”
I’m hooked on the cello riddled cover of Sam Cooke’s A Change is Gonna Come. Great song to wind the day down with. And, for some reason I feel like I should be wearing a bow tie while I’m listening to it.
Dan Black (f/ Kid Cudi) – “Symphonies”
A nice track on all accounts here. Love the orchestra feeling they’ve got going on. I’m really digging Kid Cudi’s flow on these “side” tracks he’s been doing.
