flashback of the week

talking heads – fear of music – life during wartime

it’s 1979. these new yorkers release their third album and everyone started saying, “this ain’t no party. this ain’t no disco.” they were new wave pioneers that have become legend. i’ve got a long list of talking heads songs that make my best of. this is one of them. this album is one of my top three of theirs and one of the best albums of all time. clap along if ya feel me.

video of the week

bag raiders – sunlight

this sydney duo have remixed sick tunes for a few years and tore up many a dance floor. they are releasing their first full length, self-titled album in a hot minute and this is the second single. the video follows the relationship between a smokin hot girl and a chimp. it’s charming as hell. put a chimp in converse and color me happy. enjoy.

song of the day

polarsets – morning

this unsigned newcastle trio is releasing tunes on their own and if you want a little pep to help you get motivated about the upcoming work week, then let these boys’ cowbells and synths do the trick. this is hooky, stretch for your dance moves kind of stuff with a paul simon meets friendly fires vibe. you can grab this single at their rcrd lbl to add some sunshine to your sunday this winter morning. www.myspace.com/polarsets
