New or old.

Mine's probably Do You Karate by Fight Like Apes, think it's a year old or so, maybe older. It's safely one of the greatest tracks i've ever had the pleaure of listening to.

Crooked Fingers

You must build a fire.
" Oh gracious love, you were so kind to me,
You only broke my heart, let my heart and legs stay strong,
So I could swim upon the open sea,
Searching for another love, floating along endlessly......"


its a good track

poke is in my head atm


Any track off Teenager

by The Thrills. I've played this album non-stop for about 3 or 4 days!


This Must Be The Place (Naive Medley) - Talking Heads

from the Stop Making Sense album. so amazing. the whole album is.


Mine was Talking Heads Too!

- Born Under Punches from the amazing Remain In Light. Just amazing.

Joe - www.anewbandaday.com


mine are

New(ish) = Mykonos - Fleet Foxes
Old = Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash


Mine is

I wanna be you boyfriend by The Rubinoos, a 70's powerpop classic and generally perfect pop song. Avril Lavigne got in a spot of bother recently for ripping it off wholesale in her track Boyfriend.

Another one is Don't Get Upset by Jeffrey Lewis, which is just pure gorgeousness.


You Belong

Hercules and Love affair


I really like that song

one of my favs on the album.


Bon Iver

Skinny Love


List of Demands (Reparations)

is my current favourite jam.


Bon Iver?

Nah. I wish I was, I really want to see him support Iron & Wine but can't make any of the dates. You?


I was going for more of a Saul Williams vibe...

.... am i making a massive DiS reportable mistake?


Oh no, i was replying to the List of Demands post

all is not lost, i am not a complete idiot!


Oxford

Should be a good'n


last of the famous international playboys

but i did have a postal service revival a few days ago...


Crystalite - Cut By A Laser

I can't get enough of it, I don't imagain many people know it so here ya go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kogLlxbJyGo

I'm also in lve with Visage - Frequency 7 (Dance Mix) an have been for so long I wan't more tunes like it but I just can't find them. Again here ya go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUrLN2tkoRQ

Enjoy


Santogold - Shove It

In fact, the entire album.
Summer in a leaked box.


!!! -

intensify. great to get you in the mood for a night out


Herbie Hancock - Sly

been rekindling my love for Head Hunters recently, particularly with this classic jazz-funk odyssey. It starts with the baddest groove known to man, the drums dancing around the beat perfectly, before dropping into a slightly more spaced out section and then heading off in another groove which gradually rises in the skronk level. When it's reached meltdown point in the noisy jamfest it then drops out again and brings you back to the epically funky riddim from the beginning. BADD


oh yeah wow

I love that record. I might dig that out later as a warm up to my night out to a jazz gig.


you definitely should

superb album


Herbie Hancock is so good

that album is pretty much perfect too. Nice one for reminding me of it.


What about Sun Goddess by Ramsey Lewis

have you heard that, or anything by Airto or early Johnson Brothers or Stanley Clarke? Cause when I was into Herbie Hancock I recall being into those folks too.


Probably Recent Bedroom

by Atlas Sound, been totally stuck on the album for the last few weeks and that's the highlight for me.


Hmmm...

Both 'Comprendez!' by Cable and 'Watching That Chair Painted Yellow' by Twilight Sad at the moment ... No! It's 'We Meet Under Tables' by Wire... definately.


this can change by the minute but ...

Low Tide by Isis/Aereograme at the moment.


mine are

commander venus - my other car is a spaceship

and

panda & angel - Ohio december 24th


Ghosts- Laura Marling

Or 'The Sky is Pink' by Nathan Fake


New Tomorrow by Fuck Buttons

It's pretty glorious and reminds of Neu, if Neu had had a viable late career.


Say This Sooner by The Almost

Drummer from Underoath's side project, album's not all that great but this is a really good track.


band called frightened rabbit

song is called The Modern Leper its a class tune great band they really grow on you


said so what

by the french kicks


KA RE HA TE TA SA KI -No Ones Grieve-

from the new Boris album. Awesome stuff.


These points balance

by Gregor Samsa. Dreamy soundscape, breathless vocals and that oh-so-slow tempo make my heart ache.

Sneaker by Ash as well. One I'd never heard of until recently from an early EP.


All Tomorrow's Parties - Velvet Underground & Nico

My god, it's pretty much the greatest song ever.

Also Propellor - Tubelord, really liking them just now, looking forward to a proper release.


Wiley

wearing my rolex.

erm...brap?


Baby Ate My Eightball

coming out of the speakers this very moment


Oppenheimer

"This is Not a Test"


I think

the version of 'the moon' on the microphones song islands rarities is the most perfect song ever recorded


seconded


atlas

battles


You In Color

The Black Angels


dance summer fun

DO THE WHIRLWIND
Architecture in Helsinki]

soo suits the hot weather


Frightened Rabbit

Anything of there new album.


Beggars

'Dear Boss'


I can feel the summer coming..

Baden Powell & Vinicius De Moraes - Canto De Ossanha.

I must have walked about 10 miles today, had this on my mp3 player and it made me smile and think i was in some South American musical from the 60's. Springburn has never looked so tropical.


alopecia

by why?

i think alopecia is the greatest album of all time. don't you all agree?

yes you all do


the flaming stars...

...the day the earth caught fire..

It is the greatest, defeatest, drunken abandoned song of all time... a deadly song to wheel out as the coffin rolls towards the incinerator...


I love that song

A consistently fine band. Sunset and Void is my personal favourite. Really really really good.


Shellac - Watch Song

"Hey man! I wanna have a fight with you!"


Revolve by Hush the Many

I got into this through the 'it's 4am...' thread on this very board. Unlike so so many ads for bands on this site it is really, really good.


hospital beds

cold war kids


and anthem

by miles dyson.


Cocteau Twins

'Iceblink Luck' - bloody, bloody great..only just getting into them too..


Fantastic, that was one of the first tracks that started my CT obsession.

Also try 'Serpentskirt' and 'Heaven or Las Vegas', or just do yourself a MASSIVE favour and pick up the Heaven or Las Vegas and Blue Bell Knoll albums.


Have You Seen In Your Dreams

by Miracle Fortress. Lovely stuff.


d.i.l.e.m.m.a

by Grammatics..............BRILLIANTXXXXXXXXXXX


Either

Johnny Foreigner - Our Bipolar Friends or The Decemberists - 16 Military Wives. If i was pushed i would probably just be the former.


Mine's

still the bonus track on Dead Meadow's Feathers - still picks me up when in WHATEVER mood and makes me want to dance!

I was on the escalator in camden earlier in a shit mood and it popped in my head and made me smile :)


.

air - highschool lover


I saw them play at the Buffalo Bar.

I thought they were a bit of a let down tbh. They seemed to try and fool the audience by pretending that they didn't know what song they would play next. They pretended to discuss it on stage, and then they launched into the chosen song. It was an obvious that they had rehearsed the situation.


Right now it'd have to be M83 - Graveyard Girl

- it's like being the invisible member of the Breakfast Club. Achingly gorgeous.

Also very fond of Goldfrapp - A&E of late, I think a lot of people will be changing their minds about Seventh Tree by the end of the year.


Pepita by Calexico

cannot stop listening to this one


New = "Rubber Traits", Why?. It's just got a great feeling to it

Old = "Dock of the Bay", Otis Redding. Duno why, it's just such a beautiful song that I keep listening to.


Chrome Hoof - Tonyte

This is making me excited about Hox to Dot.


dinosaur pile up - melanin

or santogold - unstoppable


Johnny Foreigner

Salt, Pepa, Spinderella. Probably my fav of this decade. and if you ask me again this time next year it will be the same. In the light of that i would say the next song i like is "Time" Rossmann Frister...


Leonard Cohen - the partisan.

beautiful.


Blind Terry

'The Subtle Art of How to Break a Heart'
makes me want to do a little jig every time i hear it.


silence

by portishead


this ^ ^

I fucking love this song at the moment


Oldish:

One Beat - Sleater-Kinney. Had it on repeat lots this week because it's just perfect.

Newish:

By Torpedo or Crohn's - Why? Along with the rest of Alopecia really.


mine is..

cut copy - light & music

quite enjoying the album as well


new favourite song

probably Salt Pepper Spinderella by Johnny Foreigner, or The New Nathan Detroits by Braid.


Do you pray?

by Chuck Ragan

With my fingers crossed that HWM come over here and play some shows outside of London (I'm looking at you Rival Schools)


right now its

the pulse by holy fuck. it makes me happy :D


anything

off mystery jets new album! so good!


agreed

but the two singles (young love and two doors down), hideaway and half in love with elizabeth are my favourites.


close draw on the yoni front

either sanddollars or 21st century pop song
