Fresh tunes and fresh times!

Iron and Wine.

On such a raiiiiiny day like today, it's best to just tuck in, do nothing and listen to sweet tunes! I haven't done exactly that, checking in on my new job for the first time instead, but I've still got some sweet tunes for y'all, and it all starts with Sam Beam of Iron and Wine, who did this sweet live set for 4AD - it includes 'Upward Over The Mountain', and a handful of tunes from his newer albums. Cozy indeed!


Robert Smith was in love on Fridays, but for Chaz Bundick of Toro Y Moi fame, it's all about Saturday, which is why he's made this sweet, summery cut - it's called 'Saturday Love', and is off his forthcoming EP, Freaking Out, which follows in the footsteps of his highly acclaimed sophomore album, Underneath The Pine.


Further in the summery direction, we've got Beat Connection with 'Balearic Trunk Rhythm', a b-side off their recent single. It's exactly as chill as it sounds, so those of you who dig Delorean and the like, go check it out!


Finally, let's touch in on a couple of legendary tracks given new life! Stereolab has gotten down and dirty with The Avalanches' 'Since I Left You', in celebration of this iconic album's tenth anniversary! There's gonna be more Avalanches-anniversary stuff coming our way this fall, so stay tuned! The other legendary track to get some serious new-decade swag is Daft Punk's unbeatable party anthem 'Around The World', which has gotten a remake dah funky way by Benoit & Sergio!


Happy Thursday!
