Songs Of The Week 8/3/12



Well it’s been another whacky week in the world of music. Stephen Colbert announced his own music festival (taking place on an aircraft carrier, naturally), Snopp Dogg formally became Snoop Lion, and an all-female Punk-Outfit named “Pussy Riot” are facing 7-years in a Russian prison. Free Pussy Riot, we say (no seriously, Putin, that’s messed up).
Never to be outdone, Miley Cyrus hosted an impromptu SWAT-team party and Jay-Z pulled a Curt Schilling a decided to start producing video games. Let us know how that works out, Mr. Carter. We’ve been laying low and simply putting together the best of the week’s new music for you to spend a summer weekend getting caught up with.

Love you,
MMB

Songs Of The Week 7/27/12


Ah, the summer games are here at last. It’s been a long four years since we witnessed this crazy-spectacle. This time around we’re in for a decidedly more British affair. We’re looking forward to paying attention to a wide array of sports we totally don’t give a shit about under any normal circumstances. Like Equestrian. And Greco-Roman wrestling (jk we greco-roman wrestle all time over here).

In between out own athletic endeavours, we’ve taken the time to pick a list of songs we hope will put you in the Olympic spirit. Enjoy, amigos.

Listen on Spotify!

Stevesy:
Fuck Buttons – Olympians

Gunz:
Joe Esposito – You’re the Best
Courtesy of my friend Jeremy, this song doubles as Olympic inspiration and the theme of his bachelor party weekend in NYC

Tom:
Professor Murder – Champion
Bands named after Mr. Show characters get gold medals in my book

Kano:
Queen – Under Pressure

noobchumpsky:
Rick Derringer – I Am A Real American
USA! USA! AMERICA! THE TROOPS! WE ARE THE GREATEST!

Songs Of The Week 6/22/12


Howdy there, did you know that you can totally listen to these Songs of the Week on Spotify now? Probably not, because we just started doing it and we haven’t really put it out there yet. We’ll make it more obvious next week, but if you’re interested now, you can subscribe to this playlist and we’ll keep updating it each week. Cool?

Stevesy:
Passion Pit – Take a Walk
First single off Passion Pit’s new album. Potential summer anthem I’d say, looking forward to seeing them tomorrow at Governor’s Ball.

Gunz:
Duck Sauce – aNYway
Yes, Barbara Streisand is cheesy and overplayed but this track is plucked from an obscure 70s funk gem that I would have never heard without this song. Gonna be a dance party tomorrow on Randall’s Island.

Tom:
Anita Moore – Compared to What?
Proably my favorite Lost & Found left coast leftover. Nice, bullseye.

Kano:
Prince – Do It All Night
Let’s get busy

noobchumpsky:
Third World – 96 Degrees In the Shade
It is hoooooooooooooooooot out there.

whacker:
The Toxic Avenger ft. Orelsan – N’Importe Comment
I don’t parle francais, but this guy is a sick rapper.

Songs Of The Week 06/01/12


Hey, it’s us. We’re okay. We won’t go into details, but something inexplicable happened on Christmas day that caused us all to spontaneously enter a 5 month-long coma. It was rough going. Anyway, a lot’s happened since we’ve been gone, and we’re still catching up, so don’t get all hipster on us if you’ve heard any of these songs before. We’re going to make a habit of this “songs of the week” thing so tune in again next Friday. Love you, MMB.

Stevesy:
Beach House – Myth
Must have listened to this song 20 times and I’m still not sick of it. One of the best tracks I’ve heard all year.

Cake – Mexico
Hai guys! I am in Mexico! Not sure if I’ve told anyone about that or not. Oh by the way, it’s sunny down here, in Mexico, where I am.

Tom:
Blondie – Will Anything Happen?
Heard this on the radio and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Kano:
The Walkmen – Angela Surf City
Looking forward to seeing these dudes rock out in Paris! #yolo

noobchumpsky:

whacker:
Lawzerhawk – Shoulder of Orion
Driving beats. Bouncy bass. Synths. Space.

Jenni:
Gardens & Villa – Orange Blossom
Wooden flute, nuff said

Bonus Track:
Rob Halford – Resurrection
It’s really only appropriate for this SOTW that we have a song called Resurrection on it.

Songs Of The Week 12/17/11


After another long hiatus, we’re back! Thanks to the two fly shorties Lisa and Lindsay for submitting two new tracks this week!

Stevesy:
Nero – Doomsday
No reason to pick this track other than the fact I want to kick songs of the week off with a huge bang after a little absence.

The National – Karen
Getting excited to see the last of the week long string of NYC shows by The National. Hopeful that they will bring out this jam out of left field just for me.

Tom:
Givers – Ceiling Of Plankton
I heard this on the radio. WMBR, I love you.

Kano:
Naughty By Nature – God Is Us ft. Queen Latifah
Naughty By Nature is back with a new single featuring the Queen. Unfortunately for us she’s only doing the hook.

noobchumpsky:
Jimmy McGriff – Miss Poopie
Little bit of an electric funk jam to groove to.

whacker:
The Black Keys – Gold on the Ceiling
This whole album drips with bluesly cool. This song is no exception.

Deadmau5 covers Radiohead’s ‘Codex’

Deadmau5 has released a cover of Radiohead’s Codex from their latest album ‘The King of Limbs’, choosing to replace Thom Yorke’s haunting vocals with a wash of synths and reverb. According to …Hang the DJ, the cover contains no samples from the original recording. Surprising choice for a cover from the popular DJ but manages to stay quite close to the original track while putting his own fingerprints on the track. A remix this is not.

Man Man – Piranhas Club (Video)

Man Man’s latest video for Piranhas Club depicts a particularly badass group of kids taking a stand against bullying. Inspired by Johnny Depp in John Water’s Cry Baby, the kid’s grease up, rock some leather, win the hearts of some shorties, defenestrate eggs from an overpass, abuse a dead cat, destroy a car and generally just rock the F out. This is my feel good video of 2011.
