It's time for another mix tape. Here's what we're listening to:
Friendly Fires - I'm Good, I'm Gone (Lykke Li Cover)
Passion Pit featuring Ellie Goulding - Sleepyhead (Starsmith Remix)*
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Hysteric (acoustic)
Grizzly Bear - Ready, Able
Blue Roses - I Am Leaving
Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks (featuring Kanye West)
Phoenix - Girlfriend
Bibio - Lover's Carvings
Kid Sister - Right Hand Hi
*Just a great remix with radically altered vocals. Ellie Goulding (of no prior fame really) has a sharp and delicate voice that seems on the precipice of cracking. The ocean of synth is pretty much opposite the "organic" instrumentation of recently written-about "Let The Beat Build." Without a doubt this is where pop music is moving [back?].
Saw Cat Power open for The Pretenders yesterday at the Central Park Summerstage. It was a sweltering evening, but Cat Power sounded great and The Pretenders were still the same 80's band whose singles I recognized. To me they're just Fleetwood Mac without Stevie Nicks, wait maybe not even that good.
