That song by le roux… something about dying? I’m sad i missed this…
Great idea for a blog feature – wish i’d thought of it!
@RP
that’s not about dying – that’s the sound of her killing her cat by singing
(oh yeah, i went there….)
The DOOM track features Empress Starhh not Sharhh.
In for the Kill – http://hypem.com/track/817339/La+Roux+-+In+For+the+Kill
thanks – corrected.
Great idea Niall!
For me it’s ‘Triggering Back’ by Benoit Pouliard. Unbelievably good, can’t stop listening to the album it’s on, Precis (Kranky).
La Roux does sound like a cat dying, she’s utterly terrible to my ears…the Prince rip-off song wasn’t too bad but her new one makes her sound like one of the girls in the school choir who would have been told to just mouth the words instead of singing…
No prob! Great idea, by the way.
good stuff. some great stuff here.
i do a track o’ the day on twitter as well. #trackotheday suggestions always welcome
aha!
cool stuff
Gucci Bandana is officially my theme tune. No doubt. The musical equivalent of a Star Bar dipped in your coffee at 9am.
had too many,but at the moment rusty nails by moderat.
niiiiiice.
Ultraviolence (Streetlife Remix) by Heartsrevolution is keeping going right now – great stuff
Has anyone heard “Rubber Sheets” by Henrietta Wazz?
lots of songs i havent heard of to check out there. I’m loving that song janglin by edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros, getting me in the mood for the summer : )
Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear. Just got Veckatimest today and I’m wearing the arse out of it.
Awesome tune. I’m not totally convinced the album lives up to hype but 3 or 4 brilliant tunes on it for sure.
Ariel Pink – my molly

Only seeing this now. Cool dude, great idea!!! 😀
I haven’t heard any of these before – and I’m always on the look out for something new. Great post.
