These three songs are brilliant. Why wasn’t I obsessed with them earlier?

Recently, I somehow managed to damage my second external hard drive and in the process lost all my mp3s. I blame it on the move to the new studio. Over 80 gigs of music instantly gone. Sorta devastating. Anyone want to put some music on my server? Wink wink
In the process of rebuilding my library I’ve been thinking about “essential” songs that went missing. All the old disco and post punk that I listened to on permanent repeat years ago still holds up. Here are a few tracks I played for friends the other night. They came in between some Chicago House, Soft Circle, and lots of fancy Belgian Ale.
Paul Mccartney – Temporary Secretary
Aural Exciters – Spooks in Space
I wouldn’t think shows like The City and The Hills would have any bearing on my music taste. I am not fifteen. I find out music by going to shows, digging around blogs, websites like last.fm, the hype machine, and record stores.
First I discovered musician Yelle in between an episode of The Hills. She danced around in a smiley faced Jeremy Scott number while rapping a French does MIA dirty dance number. I got to see her energetic live performance the next week and then Rebecca gave her some signature clothing and sat during her Venus shoot a month or two later. Um. Jealous!
And now, I find myself listening to Australian band Empire of the Sun whom I discovered during Monday’s episode of The City. I’m surprised I even heard them (as Whitney and Olivia “worked” on the DVF shoot) given the gleeful screaming and commentary that is had when eight people are over eating snacks.
Anyway! I am really feeling their single “Walking on a Dream.” MGMT and Prince tunes with Adam Ant styling sounds perfect for a summer jam. Of course it *is* summer in Australia right now. Here is the youtube video
I’m feeling the song “Ani Kuni” by French Canadian singer Madeleine Chartrand. It’s from a Freakbeat compilation I don’t yet have my hands on. A cursory google lead me to to this bare bones video. Check it out for a mean electric sitar, tambourins, and a cute girl dressed up like a 1973 version of Poccahontas!
Here’s the Mp3: Ani Kuni
Rebecca has been looking for tracks for her upcoming collection’s new video. She passed along Micachu tonight as a possible option. I have to admit, I’m totally feeling this. Who thinks this is the next big glitchy-Lily Allen-Lykke Li-Julie Ruin-Yacht-thing? I do.
Thanks Trash Menagerie
