The Sugarcubes - Birthday

She lives in this house over there, has her world outside it.
Grapples with the earth with her fingers and her mouth, she's five years old.
Thread worms on a string, keeps spiders in her pocket, collects fly-wings in
A jar scrubs horse flies and pinches them on a line. she's got one friend
He lives next door, they listen to the weather, he knows how many freckles
she's got,
She scratches his beard. she's painting huge books, glues them together,
They saw a big raven; it glided down the sky, she touched it.
Today's a birthday, they're smoking cigars, he got a chain of flowers,
Sows a bird in her knickers, they're smoking cigars, lie in the bathtub, chain of flowers.

It's our birthday! That's right, it's been a year since we launched this ship and began our musical adventure together. And we're keeping it going y'all. It's been at times a bit of a challenge to keep up with the day-to-day grind, but mostly it's been a lot of fun and we've discovered and shared some really great music. 

To celebrate we went with one of my favorite songs from The Sugarcubes, "Birthday". Happy birthday to us!

LCD Soundsystem - call the police

It moves like a virus and enters our skin
The first sign divides us, the second is moving to Berlin
But that's not the state I'm in
The air is thin but that's not the state

Friday mystery surprise! Two new tracks from LCD Soundsystem! Both "call the police" and "american dream" have the Soundsystem sporting an eighties feel that just screams New Order, Cure and OMD at different moments. And, ok, on "call the police" maybe a bit of Simple Minds, Psychedelic Furs or even U2. Whatever, there is an unmistakable eighties vibe and it's great.

It's Friday, so today's Most Important Song is going to "call the police" and its funky dance baseline. Will there be more? I certainly hope so!

RIYL: Hot Chip, Cut Copy, New Order, Yeasayer, Of Montreal

Coucheron - Loud

Our hearts are in search of the light
Our goal is to keep holding tight
The ferries let go by the night
Our minds aren't thinking the same
We look back on all that is lame
Our spotlight is waiting for fame

And the morning seems too far
As we fly across the sky
What it means is that we die
And the evening never ends
As we hold each others hands
We don't need more

'Cause we are loud

Coucheron is 1/5th of the actual given name of this Norwegian electronic music producer. I read that he won a grammy for his work with Kehlani, and that reminded me it has been a while since I've posted something like this. We're well past the hump of this week, tomorrow is Friday, open your windows and turn this up loud.
