FAVORITE SONGS OF 2010

BLOOD RED SHOES“Heartsink”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amJmO3wprwA]

To say I was obsessed with this song would be a total understatement. It’s like the “ADHD” of Fire Like This.

NETHERFRIENDS“Bret Easton Ellis Novel”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM88rd7r1Zs]

This summer, I discovered Netherfriends via Loup Loop Press and fell in love with their garage-y, lo-fi pop sounds. Though I may have forgotten to post about them, “Bret Easton Ellis Novel” was on repeat for most of summer. Good times.

GOLDEN AGES“Everything Will Be Alright”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO-p_mEsWHM]

Synthesizer-fueled, electro-pop. What more could I ask for on long morning drives?

MYSTERY JETS“Lorna Doone”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgWQXfBnEfk]

My love for Mystery Jets knows no bounds. As the closing track for Serotonin, “Lorna Doone” only makes me all the more excited for what they’re doing next.

THE FUTUREHEADS“Heartbeat Song”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjDWpf4fPDs]

When I saw The Futureheads live (THAT FEELS SO GOOD TO SAY), Barry asked the audience to imagine themselves in the middle of a John Hughes film as they danced to this song. For three minutes, I was Molly Ringwald and it felt great.

SLOW ANIMAL“Dolt Heart”

I can’t say I ever bought into the “chill wave” hype, but this year I definitely discovered some garage bands that knew what was up. Slow Animal were one of those bands and this song sounds best while speeding down the highway with the volume on blast.

CUT COPY“Where I’m Going”

There’s a reason Cut Copy are the owners of the “gods amongst men” tag.

SUMMER CAMP - “Round the Moon”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twIiFKa6vWE]

You know there has to be something special about music that makes you nostalgic about moments you’ve never experienced and times you’ve never lived. Amazing.

WHITE MYSTERY“Powerglove”

When I first heard Chicago’s White Mystery, I was positive I was listening to some garage band from the 70s. But nope, WM are a 20-something brother-sister duo creating heavy, grimey rock like it’s no big thing. “Powerglove” is infectious and the video features a plethora of wild, red-headed Chicago peeps. Good times.

NOAH AND THE WHALE” L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. (radio version)”
“>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8XuMDi-wIk]

Technically, this song is only a few weeks old but I discovered it earlier in the year through a live YouTube clip. When I heard it then, I got really excited because it sounded so different from anything NATW had done in the past. Fast-forward to a few days ago, the song premiered on Radio 1 and my anticipation for Last Night On Earth officially became insane. But really, would you expect any different from me?

CUT COPY REVEAL COVER ART, HEADS EXPLODE.

Explode from pure anticipation from the EPIC EPICNESS that the band’s third LP will no doubt bring.

CUT COPY. ZONOSCOPE. FEBRUARY 8th 2011.

The cover art is the work of late Japanese photo montage artist Tsunehisa Kimura and totally reminds me of that scene in “The Abyss” with the crazy tidal wave. As if the album title and art weren’t enough to build some crazy intrigue and anticipation in us fans, the band have also released the second installment of the Krozm documentary about the making of Zonoscope. As always, you can watch below. Brace yourself for some intense Dan-screaming-into-guitar-pickup-and-getting-amazing-feedback moments.

New Cut Copy album! Lolla after show!

Recently Pitchfork caught up with Cut Copy and asked them the usual questions about their new album. You can check that interview out here.

Some highlights:

  • No title for new album yet, produced by Ben Allen
  • Plan to debut new songs this summer
  • New songs sound more “groove-based and less rock than In Ghost Colours
  • Dan says a choir and strings are possibility
  • Turned down opening for Lady Gaga, Dan says: “It was one of those weird moments where you’re not sure whether to burn the letter or frame it and put it on your wall. We were simultaneously repulsed but also tantalized by the idea of touring with her for a whole year.”

The interview also included a short video of the band recording their album in an Australian warehouse. Watch and be amazeddddd:

GOOD NEWS: For all those folks who couldn’t shell out the bug bucks to see them at Lollapalooza, Cut Copy will be playing an exclusive after show at the Metro on August 6th!!

BAD NEWS: The show is already sold out. You had to act quick! For those who wasted no time, I’ll see you on the dance floor!

I fall in love with songs, not people.

It’s true. Some people think it’s sad, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Some love songs to swoon for on this day dedicated to love:

Cut Copy – Autobahn Music Box (XFM Session)I watch the sun go down and up again and think of you

Alan Pownall – Up and Away - Whatever I do, I’ll always find my way back to you

The Features – The Idea of Growing OldWe can play charades when there is nothing to say

Regina Spektor – Bartender (XFM Session)Love is so fickle, it starts with a flood and ends with a trickle

We Are Scientists – Be My Baby (cover/Oui FM Session)For every kiss you give me, I’ll give you three

Lulu & the Lampshades – Cherry CokeHave a cup of tea and marry me

Jeremy Warmsley – I Keep the City BurningI stop the rain from falling, I keep the city burning for you

The Maccabees – About Your Dress (acoustic)You stood out like a sore thumb, the most beautiful sore thumb I’d ever seen

Bonus tunes sans italicized lyrics:

The Rakes – The World Was a Mess But His Hair Was Perfect
One of the most genius/beautiful song titles ever. In my opinion, at least. Plus it’s a great song.

Modern English – I Melt With You
A classic. We can listen and imagine that sweet sequence in Valley Girl. Or think of people who claim Modern English is one of their favorite bands and we can laugh because who in the world calls Modern English one of their favorite bands? It’s like if I said Kajagoogoo was one of my favorite bands because I really like that ONE song.
