Better late than never

The playlist for this week is two days late, I know, I think Mondays may work better for me actually. But this one seems to match up with my last week experience nicely. There were some emotional ups and downs, restless energy I wanted to express, but by the end it sort of settles down into my previous contented happy summer state. Hope you like it. I made some more notes on individual songs for anyone interested.

I know the widgity thing is a bit squished but you can expand it or go to the imeem page if you want to see album info, etc. Old playlists will still be available on my imeem profile. Imeem is pretty cool unless it does things like shorten songs, like it did last week's final song, as well as this week's Bn Loco song which I actually bought in order to put it on a playlist. LAME. Like I say in the extended post, you should check out the full version if it's not working, on the player here.


Some notes on this week's playlist

1. Air- Another gorgeous Air song. I'm a recent intense Air fan, this album has been in rotation a lot lately.

2. Heartsrevolution- I've gotten this song into my head, makes me want to jump up and down and dance. I like the grunginess too, makes me think of the creak of leather couches or rubber.

3. Vitalic- Italo-discoy, I love the melodies and the heartbeat, it makes me think of flying

4. Blonde Redhead-- I love love love this song lately. I've been listening to 23 on repeat at work when no one is around, I definitely didn't appreciate the album when it came out last year, but now it calls to mind the live performance of theirs I saw for my 20th birthday. They're amazing, the songs amazing.

5. Bn Loco-- Last week I was checking out the artists at Modus Vivendi Music, and I just had to have this song once I heard it, so I bought it off iTunes as well as his album. If it's not playing the full version (it's around 5 minutes not 1.5 minutes), then you should go to the label site and listen to it on their player. There's a bunch of other good stuff there as well. Thanks to discodust for getting me to go over there to check out the new Sam Sparrow remix, which it turns out I wasn't that impressed by.

6. Burning Spear- Hard to fit this song in, but I really dig it. I love all the keyboard effects and the horns, great song. I fell asleep to it the other day on my couch under the fan with the sunshine filtering into the room. So peaceful and happy, so summer.

7. Atmosphere- A little hiphop to mix it up. The back melody sounds like oldschool videogame music to me, like the music played during pause, when you're stuck in a long conversation with someone or in a shop. Fellow dorks know what I'm talking about it.

8. Glass Candy-- AWESOME Glass Candy song that doesn't sound like any of their other stuff (well they've used those same lyrics a ton), but I've heard that the next stuff they are brewing has this more funky sound. And it fades out nicely...
