& Raheem Devaughn)ĭeerhoof – Rrrrrrright (Stop Die Resuscitate Remix)
I think there must have been five churches within a one-block radius of the building, because I could hear music and preaching echoing from every direction that day.īest Foot Forward captures my own initial reaction to Kanye’s new showstopper, “Flashing Lights”.Īnd here’s five random songs that get better each time I listen to them: The singing is coming from the tiny church next to my family’s building. Believe it or not, there actually is some great music in this video, so I can justify posting it here.
The two men that I’m trailing with the camera are my father and my uncle. I took this short video just outside my family’s home in Lagos on Sunday May 6, 2007. avi to whatever file format Blogger uses. Judging from the initial quality of this video, you wouldn’t think it could possibly be more pixelated, but sure enough the quality has deteriorated even more in the transfer from. I mostly just wanted to test Blogger’s new video upload feature.

I think not. I’ve long since professed my love for the comma. In one of his writeups on music in 2007, Marathonpacks reflects on a terribly bitter (and deeply troubling) reality hidden amongst all the bright lights and celebration of Kanye West’s album, Graduation, and the thoughts have stayed on my mind over the last week.

And here’s all of them in a 139MB zip file.Īndrew Bird – Imitosis (Four Tet Remix) ()Īrmand Van Helden – I Want Your Soul ()īurial – Archangel (Boy 8-Bit’s Simple Re-mix) ()Ĭrime Mob – Go to War (feat. So here’s a bunch of great tracks that I’ve come across over the last month. it’s been a long time and I have some catching up to do. (Perhaps that’s just a deluded fantasy of mine. I generally dislike these mega posts because the overload of mp3s encourages picking and choosing, whereas ideally I like to think that people might listen to all the songs I post on this blog at least once. The Left Bank – “Pretty Ballerina” ( via)ħ7Klash feat. Twin Sister – “Ginger” and “I Want A House” The melody is charming enough for me to excuse the ridiculous excursion into guitar-noise experimentation towards the end of the track.Īnnie – “Anthonio (Fred Falke Remix)” ( via)
Surprisingly tasteful, all these things considered.Īnnie Clark sounds just a bit bananas on this song, like there’s something slightly demented and noticeably off-balance about her. containing looped surf guitar riff, cell phone rings, horses, and much more. Major Lazer – “Hold the Line (DJ Edit)” feat. If the new Phoenix album isn’t enough for you, this remix will be equally perfect listening for the sunny, summer days that I’m hoping we’ll be having very soon. Kanye West – “Paranoid (Scuola Furano Remix)” New project, Desire, could be considered an unnecessary retread into the exact same territory, but dammit if I don’t still love this track.ĭeerhunter – “Rainwater Cassette Exchange” I think we can all agree that Night Drive (2007) was inspired. The menacing (and pretty-much-undanceable) disco synth of “Vulture” transitions beautifully into the slightly-less-ominous baroque pop of “The Tinderbox”, in which Wolf reflects on some of the shit he’s been up to since his last album, mainly decapitating witches and falling in love. Both new songs are about as ridiculous as the cover art, and ridiculously good. This seems to me like another entry in an uninterrupted streak of great releases from this guy. I mean, I only just now finished off the leftovers in my fridge from Easter.
