'Paradise Circus' by Massive Attack

Another sultry post from MA. At first I liked the intensity of this song - then I saw the video . . .

Warning: the video is racy.

'Stay Up Late' by Talking Heads

I don't know how I missed Talking Heads during the 2+ years of this blog.

Anyway, this is one of my favs by the band. Enjoy.

'Eyes Be Closed' by Washed Out

I'm sticking with the Washed Out theme to sooth you on a Monday night. Listening to this is like a full body massage for the soul.

Interesting background behind the band (click to get).

'Amor Fati' by Washed Out

Tune flows thru clouds and I feel good

'Need You Now' by Cut Copy

Album: Zonoscope

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative electronica

I like the subtlety of this tune and think the live video captures the coolness.

Damn, this band and album are good.

'Days Are Forgotten' by Kasabian

Album: Velociraptor!

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative rock

New stuff from this English band. It's not bad; like the big beat, baby.

Thanks Eli.

'Pharaohs & Pyramids' by Cut Copy

Album: Zonoscope

Released: 2011
Theme: alternative electronica

Man, this one has all the makings of a classic off their new album. On the CD, the tune changes tempo - I love that, especially when things keep getting better.

Unfortunately, the embedded sound track is a remix which doesn't do it justice. If I can find the original I will gladly re-post.
