10 Songs, Sunday, April 6th, 2014

Building a better House

1. (You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real – Frankie Knuckles Directors Cut – This is the exact diving line between disco and House, Sylvester’s greatest disco song of all time is given a nine minute blow out, the beat is all over it but essentially Knuckles takes the title hook and loops it and loops it and loops it – A+

2. Solid – Ashford And Simpsons – No, not the best song Ashford wrote but the best song he perform with his Valerie – A+

3. Midday – Yusuf – Post-Islam Cat’s one unequivocal triumph holds its faith as a guard against temptation – A

4. Gypsy – Lady Gaga – I liked Artpop more than Born This Way and I prefer this to “Born This Way” – B+

5. Kush Coma – Danny Brown – The best young rapper around, better than A$AP Rocky who is also on this track, the problem is… another ode to weed???  – A-

6. Red Dust – James Vincent McMorrow – One of the loveliest tracks you’ll hear this year, like Bon Iver without the baggage -A

7.  Gradual Return – Trixie Whitley – Her poppiest moment makes you thionk she maye should join Fleetwood Mac – A

8. Wasted Days – Cloud Nothings – Great track not off the new one – A

9. Autobahn – Kratwerk – The liver version which cuts it down to 9 minutes – A

10. Driver – Perfect Pussy – Most overestimated band in the world today – B
