9. Joy Division - Transmission
10. Badly Drawn Boy - Something To Talk About (C'mon, brilliant).

Fresh: Benin City

Benin City - "Baby"

Stark and desperate, and then suddenly full - "Baby" is the latest single from British band Benin City.



Via I Guess I'm Floating.

Friday Finds: Jarle Bernhoft

Jarle Bernhoft - "C'mon Talk"

This was a recommendation from my lovely man-friend. And he was right, I really dig it. Looping can easily become repetitive and formulaic, as the one-man-band complex can lead to laying down everything and just letting it loop. "C'mon Talk" is quite simply a well-crafted pop song - Bernhoft plays with the song's dynamic, building up layers and stripping them back, and creating variety with harmonies and beat-boxing.
Heaps of soul, a bit Bruno Mars, but very distinct all the same.

Fresh: Lykke Li

Lykke Li - "Come Near"

The latest offering by the lovely Lykke Li - nothing short of brilliant, as usual.

Cover It: The Books ft José González

The Books featuring José González - "Cello Song"

Beautiful cover of Nick Drake's "Cello Song".
