I've been posting so infrequently these days that an old-fashioned "what we've been listening to" post isn't really that out of order. The following tracks, listed in no particular order, are available for your previewing / downloading pleasure:
Harry Nilsson - I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City
Nilsson originally wrote this tune to be the theme of Midnight Cowboy but the film's director preferred his cover of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'. The two songs are nearly identical in structure, melody and the wah-wah vocal flourishes, though "I Guess The Lord..." has a much more direct contextual connection to the film.
Neon Indian - Terminally Chill
Love wordplay in song titles (see !!!). Love synth-effected hot licks (see Daft Punk's "Digital Love"). Love "when the fuck was this recorded" compression in production (see Royal Trux's Accelerator).
I'll take that combo any day. Thankfully, these cats upsized it.
Lupe Fiasco - Kick, Push
I went shopping for a new board today, so, you know.
Desolation Wilderness - No Tomorrow (Version)
For fans of Galaxie 500, JAMC and stoned couch naps.
YACHT - Psychic City
"Psychic City"'s lyrical sentiments are simple and true, summoning memories of good times and great friends and pumping you up for whatever's coming around the corner. You can also hear "Trapped In the Closet"-esque drips in the verses, so it's got that going for it.
