Remember those times when you picked up a music magazine or a weekly music paper and read a playlist of what that publication’s writers were playing in the office that week? There was power in those playlist charts.
Here is my nod to that staple. No great fanfare, just ten of the best song around right now I’ve been playing lots of.
- Neon Indian – Deadbeat Summer
- The Drums – Let’s Go Surfing
- Rain Machine (Kyp of TV On The Radio) – Give Blood
- The Big Pink – Dominos
- Florence and the Machine – Drumming Song (Boy 8-Bit remix)
- La Roux – Tigerlily
- Cruisin’ Gang – Chinatown (Italo)
- Candy Claws – Catamaran – Buy at Indiecater
- Bibio – Jealous of Roses – Ambivalence Avenue
- Trailer Trash Tracys – Candy Girl (demo)

nudge nudge
A weekly podcast is a bit much but we are recording a new regular podcast this week so… eh.. there.
I’ve been listening to that big pink track for a couple of weeks now myself.. epic stuff 🙂
I like ‘Dominos’, but the Delorean remix of ‘To Young To Love’ is defo the best Big Pinkish track. Amazing stuff.
Yeh I like that remix a lot. I’m not sure the album lives up to even Dominos. i am looking forward to seeing them at the Picnic though.
