RIGHT NOW
Before I get back to shows I’ve seen and reviews I’ve promised to write, I wanted to throw up a few mp3s that I am listening to RIGHT NOW. As in, look at my last.fm page, you skeptical son of a bitch, I am not lying to you.
Kanske Ar Jag Kar I Dig – Jens Lekman
Jens Lekman is my new love. No, not like-like. LOVE. I stupidly decided to listen to him for the first time the day after he played a show in Philly which I very stupidly did not attend. I will be kicking myself for this until I get to see him live. Although, I heard from a friend that the recent show he saw was solo acoustic, and thus nowhere near as awesome as his albums. Anyway, Kanske Ar Jag Kar I Dig (Swedish for “maybe I’m in love with you”) is jingly and fun and bouncy and I enjoy it very much. And who can’t love a song with the lyrics “the best way to touch your heart is to make an ass of myself”?
Plasticities – Andrew Bird
A Nervous Tic Motion Of The Head To The Left – Andrew Bird
Andrew Bird is another one that’s been sitting in my itunes for ages, and I’ve finally given him a listen. Again, I am so glad I did. He fills the void in my life for a male vocalist with less instrumentation than Sufjan Stevens, more edge than Jack Johnson, slightly less whine than Jesse Harris, and a mild enough listen that it can be background music if I so desire.
D.A.N.C.E. – Justice
Okay, so I’m way late on this one, but this song owns. Come on, it’s about Michael Jackson- and with a children’s choir?! Try not to dance. You fail.
Ayo Technology Remix – Tugboat
Tugboat, the one man 8 bit band, is Jesse Novak. J-Nov is also $mart Geniu$ (nothing short of ridiculous) and the musical mastermind behind Olde English Comedy. I can’t stop listening to his remix of Ayo Technology, which ironically sounds much better over Nintendo noise. Someone start playing this at parties.
Unfulfilled promises coming soon. Promise.
