Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - Radiohead



Its been a while since Radiohead offered downloads of its album -In Rainbows- on a contribution basis ... surprised this song didn't stand out sooner with its constant beat and progressing layers. Check out the in-studio video -------->

Older, old....and now somewhat new

Sea of Love- Cat Power



Originally recorded in 1959 by Phil Phillips, Cat Power covered it on "The Covers Record" (2000) and now it has resurfaced in the movie Juno. So simple, so full of emotion.

Violator - White Williams



This song brought me back to Of Montreal's 2005 album The Sunlandic Twins. A silly beat with casual vocals. Vi-Vi-vi-violataaa a a

Boy Void - No Age



Just found out this duo will be opening for the Liars on Feb. 1st (Marquis Theater)- same night as Blood on the Wall. Which will be the better show? I'm waiting to hear Blood on the Wall's new album Liferz to decide - out Jan. 22nd. Anyway, read a write up in the New Yorker a while back for No Age - a key band to the current LA punk scene. Here's what the review said about Boy Void -

One of No Age’s most accessible songs, “Boy Void,” could be a seven-inch punk-rock single from the early eighties. “Saw a horse, he ran into the back of the room, where the children go to cry,” Spunt hollers, banging a relentless eighth-note beat on a floor tom. The words of the chorus are “It’s so obvious, so obvious”—though it’s not obvious what he means.
