Moodymann

Moodymann - Freeki MF (zshare)

I’ve watched this five or six times today, it’s the first I heard about Moodymann but apparently he’s a Detroit living legend. I mean look at his live show, this is really great.

“You don’t even like this song.”

Thanks U-Tern,
Duncan

Peter Broderick - With the notes in my ears (click to download)

I love when guitars sound like this. The song starts and you know it’s going to be good, and they let it go for a bit to get you really excited for when he starts singing. It’s a great lying in bed song, probably the waking up part or falling asleep if you’re feeling really good.

Thanks,
Duncan

Mirror - Nowhere ft. Frances Lawson (click to download)

There’s something glamorous about this song. I haven’t read much about the band but I think they involve David Bowie and French starlets, but they have a really vague website and I think the starlet thing was exaggerated. The picture is the singer, but I like the song.

Thanks,
Duncan

Little Joy - The Next Time Around (click to download)

I’m not calling Vampire Weekend yet but don’t forget who called Vampire Weekend, especially the misses you know you love this stuff. It’s the drummer from the Strokes, some Brazilian guy who is friends with Devendra Banhart, and that guy’s girlfriend.

Highly recommended, they sound like a 50s Hawaiian Strokes.

Thanks,
Duncan

Dido

Dido - Quiet Times (click to download)

For no reason besides “Stan” I got the new Dido album, and there’s this one song I’ve listened to ten times already, I really love it. There’s something nostalgic about it, I can’t place it she reminds me of like a regular sounding Nico. Terrible comparison.

Thanks,
Duncan
