The Playlist Sunday September 13th, 2009: Soul Boys
Powerstripe – Tigercity – Such a big mistake having the great indie soul band Tigercity close for the Grates at Mercury Lounge. Who can appreciate Tigercity’s sweet soul grooves after an hour trampoline bound powerpop? Past midnight as well… Better off checking out this bass heavy soul ballad off their 2007 Pretend To Run with a great chorus based on Bill Gillim’s falsetto.
Calypso Gold – Princeton
Rise _ Public Image Ltd.
The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness – The Feelies – Finally available on Itunes
Now Or Never – Madina Lake
All The King’s Men – Wild Beasts
I Left My Love In Nagasaki – Princeton
Good Girls Go Bad – Cobra Starship
The Pursuit Of Happiness – Kid Cudi – Available on Tuesday
You Are In The Worst thing In the World (Jay Haze Remix) – Telefon Tel Aviv – Following the death of Charlie Cooper, TTA have regrouped and were apparently astounding at the Electonic Zoo last week. This is before soundscape city and heavy sampled at the same time. Impressive stuff.
Release the Stars – Rufus Wainwright – From his new album Milwaukee At Last and as histrionic and powerful as a a sax based power ballad will ever get.
Crooked Stars – Deep Sea Diver
Islands in The Stream – the Bee Gees
Way More – Diplo
Since I Don’t Have You – Guns ‘n’ Roses – I am about to write a post about the connection between women who love you and the burn mixes they give you. Julie fell into one of our many epitaphs with this song she placed on a mix very early in our relationship. She’d sing along till Axl reaches “Yeah, we’re fucked” then laugh uproariously.
