what’s in the bag

Far too many awesome tracks dropped in the past week, so rather than taking a magnifying glass to each one lets set our memories straight and gorge like we just collected a heap o’ Halloween candy!

White Hinterland covered this decade’s 26th best tune and somehow made it audibly more impressive – yo p4k, lets get a recount! Casey Dienel, you’re oh so perfect. Pick this up from her tour-exclusive EP, Fresh From the Garden.

White Hinterland – My Love (Justin Timberlake cover)

Fool’s Gold had to drop from our CMJ party and we’re all super bummed to be missing our Los Angeles brethren. However, when Phaseone gets his hands on anything we tend to smile a ton so it’s only natural that his work on “Surprise Hotel” has me drumming on my desk like Clipse’s “Grindin” just came out. Straight up gorgeous.

Fool’s Gold – Surprise Hotel (Phaseone remix)
Panda Bear – I’m Not (Phaseone remix)
J Dilla – Walkinonit (Phaseone remix)

New jam from Pure Ecstasy courtesy of Friendship Bracelet. “EASY” floats along the top of the skyline bouncing off building tops and brushing against the base of clouds. Purce Ecstasy is the ice cream flavor that we dream about. Wow that can be taken out of context…just download and love. Pre-order the single here.

Pure Ecstasy – EASY
Pure Ecstasy – Pressure Drop (Toots and the Maytals Cover)

I’ll round this out with our long-time love affair White Rainbow. Since we’ve been jamming out to White Rainbow boogie has not been the first word that comes to mind but if you caught Adam on the Dan Deacon/No Age/Deerhunter round robin tour he was breaking beats like no one’s business! Well, maybe GDFX if he threw in some badass samples. Here’s a recent tune.

White Rainbow – All the Boogies in the World (edit)

justin timberlake tender forever

“Tender Forever comes along in tough times. Nobody can ignore the dark places we’ve watched the world go in the past few years. But as divisions grows in the world, so does our ability to connect.” [via]

I guess that you could say in the context of putting-a-smile-on-your-face-pop Tender Forever makes a pair of parenthesis with The Blow. Having put out one of my most spun records of 2007 it’s a pleasure to share with you Mélanie’s adorably executed cover of Justin Timberlake’s “My Love” from her recent Take Away Show. That gorgeous French accent gets me every time, or maybe it’s the subtle and appealing combination of Mikhaela, Kim, and Camille.

Tender Forever – Heartbroken Forever
BONUS
Camille – J’ai tort
The Blow – Parentheses
