For all the Canadians out there, behold your alternate anthem as power metal/sea shanty by Unleash the Archers:

Northwest Passage

 

I like the singles DIIV has been releasing for their upcoming album. Lo-fi shoegaze/indie rock feel:

Blankenship *my favorite

Taker

Skin Game

 

In the mood for duets for whatever reason:

Jack White and Loretta Lynn - Portland, Oregon

Billy Bragg and Natalie Merchant - Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key

PJ Harvey and Nick Cave - Henry Lee

Hope Sandoval and Jesus and Mary Chain - Sometimes Always

 

Flo Rida - Club Can't Handle Me

Watched Hustlers, this song is just nostalgic and fun. Maybe you think it's trashy but I think it's undeniable.

 

A cover that belongs in an alternate universe:

Haley Reinhart and Postmodern Jukebox cover Radiohead's Creep

If you're not impressed with her voice, I don't know what to tell you.

 

White 2115 - Mogę Dziś Umierać (dds. Bootleg)

It's in Polish, but I've decided to translate the entire song, because I like it that much:

Whtie 2115 - I Can Die Today

New hoodie, new fit and a new shock
I play on the big scene, like a true star, young Don
She dances for me, for me, for me, for me like J-Lo
Baby dance today, I'm not counting how much I'll spend today
Baby have fun, as if the world was going to sleep soon
Your eyes are bigger now, oh, and I see they are shiny
Brag to your friends, that you did it with White
I don't know what's a fashion blogger
I don't know what's trendy now
Someone wants a picture with me
But I refuse, I don't have the force anymore
Some third-rate portal will throw shit at me
They'll ask again, if I'm sane
I want one thing, for you to give me some doping

And I can die today
Barman pours for me again
Pure please, don't mix
I have ice from the jeweler
Always in Jupiters
Everyone looks at me now
I can do everything, look at the raider
It's written that I die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby I can die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby I can die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby I can die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's written in my genes

VVS is on me, like on my accounts
The dance-floor is mine, like it was Travolta's
They don't want a boy, but a god
Expensive homes and new experiences
Expensive clothes and the taste of fashion
Please, don't yell, fuck, for me to slow down
And don't make a wry face when looking at me
To the city they drag me like founde
I do bodyboming to some bitch
If I don't come back, never forget
That this year was blown apart by a young blond guy
All around wry faces, those aren't the war grounds
They give me dopamine like molly to coke
My career just started, phones are ringing

But I can die today, if you let me
I can die today
Barman pours for me again
Pure please, don't mix
I have ice from the jeweler
Always in Jupiters
Everyone looks at me now
I can do everything, look at the raider
It's written that I die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby I can die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby I can die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby I can die today, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's written in my genes

 

C'mon DLP what are your summer bangers?

Right now mine is:

American Authors - Go Big or Go Home

Edit: Ups wrong thread. Meant to post this in songs of the moment.

 

Brian Eno was on fire in the 70s

 

Solid Jams throughout.

 

For whatever reason, I've been listening to the soundtrack of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' lately. Two songs have really grabbed me:

The Stones - 'Out of Time'

Deep Purple - 'Hush'

The Stones song has a weird history. Mick Jagger wrote it for another artist, Chris Farlowe, who had a hit with it in 1966. A decade later, the Stones recorded their version over the other guy's orchestral arrangement, and it's a fucking banger. I can't get it out of my head.

The Deep Purple song is a banger too, and it's impressive that it came out in 1968, before Zeppelin or Sabbath existed. That is some seriously hard rock for 1968.

 

This one's got me dancing.
