This song is from 2007, but I’m just hearing it now. This a group formed in New York City that expanded in Detroit.

This song has been stuck in my head the entire week. I watched a show called the Flight of the Conchords on HBO recently and they did a parody of this song called “inner city pressure” and had to revisit the actual song. After listening to it on repeat, I can’t help but feel like somehow the band Dry Cleaning is inspired by them even though they’re way more post-punk leaning rather than synth based. This song came out way before i was born but I can’t help but think it is a timeless and futuristic sounding song

Kinda forgot about these guys since my Rock Band days when I used to perform vocals on I Think I'm Paranoid at the ripe age of 12 years old with my sibs. This song recently came on my radar and I'm really vibing with it, I especially love the opening.

I'm not even super into No Doubt that much, but I was listening to the local alt radio station before I move out and this brought me to tears. The mix of rage and unrequitedness... a little bit of ska flippantry... phenomenally underrated pop rock tune!

I’ve posted about Chanel Beads a few times on onrepeat.substack.com as one of the bands popping off in Brooklyn and beyond right now—a collaboration between musician Shane Lavers, vocalist Maya McGrory (Colle) and experimental instrumentalist Zachary Paul. The sound is a result of manipulated strings and something called “fake jazz” which I can’t describe but sounds right.

I was at a party and this song came on, and it’s the best. Cansei de Ser Sexy (named after a Beyonce quote that she “got tired of being sexy”) were a Brazilian group you were either a fan of or at least heard played in Zune commercials. I completely missed a reunion tour last year and that is a bummer!
I always thought the Death From Above they were talking about were DFA but on closer inspection of the music video, it is indeed, Death From Above 1979 they are listening to while making love.

Beak> has been around for some time now, featuring some of Bristol’s finest talents, including members of Portishead. They came on my radar when they produced the debut Anika album many years ago. This is pure CAN and that’s not a bad thing to be!
