Posting this in honor of LCD Soundsystem’s weekend announcement that they’ll be playing their “final show” at MSG on April 2nd:
This is easily one of my favorite tracks from 2010. In fact, it might even get the top-most slot due to the memory that it’s permanently connected to in my head.
Here’s hoping I can score some decent tickets to this show.
Since I’m catching these guys in concert tomorrow night in Williamsburg, here’s one of my favorite BP studio tracks:
Always loved that main guitar riff.
The band Yellow Ostrich popped up during a meeting today, so I’ve been digging into their album on bandcamp a bit.
Pretty interesting stuff…especially the use of looping vocals.
I just posted my NYC concert recs for the week over at Live Music Blog.
If you’re heading to Brothers Past @ Music Hall of Williamsburg, definitely give me a shout or come find me at the show.
Go See Live Music!
A little “mountain rock” from 6 Day Bender in honor of my old buddies down in Charlottesville:
You can grab the full album on emu.
…because sometimes the Clash got a little funky…
Some classic 70s soul-funk for your Friday.
This one is probably most famous for being sampled in the Geto Boys tune “My Minds Playing Tricks on Me,” which is most likely why this song caught my ear.
That actually happens to me a lot with old school hip-hop tunes. I seek out the songs they sample and end up enjoying those even more than the tunes they’re sampled in. Might have to post a few more of those later.
Have a funky Friday.
A Built to Spill classic:
I was reminded of this one after the Topspin folks posted this live cover by Bad Books:
Pretty solid, but also — as my buddy Gibs said — ambitious.
This is basically the spillover from my last post on my favorite albums from 2010. That post was getting a little long so I thought I’d do Part II to feature some of my favorite stand-alone tracks, EPs, and a few albums that I’m throwing into the “honorable mention” category.
I just came back across this on shuffle and had to post it:
This will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Happy Friday!
