On Repeat: Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend - "Step"

Vampire Weekend always put me in the mood to listen to some Paul Simon, so this is a kind of combined "On Repeat" - Vampire Weekend's "Step" and Paul Simon's "Obvious Child".




Paul Simon - "Obvious Child"



Looking forward to the new Vampire Weekend album - also check out (although you already know it, I know you do) "Diane Young". Nice to hear an upbeat, crunchy tune.

Cover It: Hungry Kids Of Hungary

Hungry Kids Of Hungary - "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"

Some friends from back home - so glad to see how well they're doing! Here's them performing Tame Impala's "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards".

Remember...

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - "Tracks Of My Tears"

This kinda qualifies as an "On Repeat" entry, too, as I seem to be playing this one a lot of late. I can thank my Mum for my interest in Motown and this song was one of the most memorable songs of my childhood.

On Repeat: James Blake

James Blake - "Retrograde"

Friday Find: Jacques Dutronc

Jacques Dutronc - "Et Moi, Et Moi, Et Moi"

Okay, so it's Saturday now but this one still classifies as a Friday Find - I just didn't have the energy to blog last night. First week at a new job (loving it, by the way), and I had to round it off with some music, wine and methodical stirring of risotto, thus no blogging.

So! Jacques Dutronc. "Et Moi, Et Moi, Et Moi" is a great garage track - think the Kinks, Yardbirds, The Who, but with a French bounce. And yet the lyrics are actually quite contemplative and topical.
