Presenting a new mix of the week to celebrate today's Futureheads show. The theme is all fluff. Hey, what's that voice? It's saying something about an ever-shortening attention span* and lack of focus and a growing inability to understand challenging music. Eh, whatever. Here's some fun stuff—no attention span required:
A.C. Newman – On the Table [other songs here]
The Casual Dots – Clocks [available here]
The Futureheads – Decent Days and Decent Nights
Hot Hot Heat – Goodnight Goodnight [via Stereogum; other downloads here]
Max Raabe – Mambo No. 5 [via Trout Fishing in Central Wisconsin a while back]
Stimulator – 78 Stimulator [available here]
The Wonder Stuff – Welcome to the Cheap Seats [via the people who lived across the hall freshman year]
Stream!
*Thumbs down to long songs, especially wordless, electronic-y ones. Proprieters of Texan weblogs who rhapsodize about this kind of music—and you know who you are—should not irresponsibly post long, electronic-y songs late on Saturday nights because such things confuse drunk people**.
**Seriously, Secret Comics is a great weblog for music lessons and other sundries.
