Blitzen Trapper - Love The Way You Walk Away

A: Blitzen Trapper
S: Love The Way You Walk Away
C: American Goldwing

I love the way they name their song. I know I've said this before but I'm more than happy to point it out again: The best lines are the most simple ones. Take a basic feeling, describe it in the most basic way, and you got yourself a line that everybody can identify with. Add some country-ish folk-ish americana-ish sounds to it, and you'll find that, in all its glory, it's today's song. Nothing but perfect.

Architecture In Helsinki - Contact High

A: Architecture In Helsinki
S: Contact High
C: Moment Bends

This might not be their best track on their latest album, but it will do for today. And since it's been a while since I actually wrote something worthy about a band I posted, I'll do this again. Now. Architecture in Helsinki is an Australian indie pop band which consists of Cameron Bird, Gus Franklin, Jamie Mildren, Sam Perry, and Kellie Sutherland. You see, there's nothing Helsinki about these architects.

The Young Professionals (TYP) - 20 Seconds

A: The Young Professionals
S: 20 Seconds
C: 09:00 to 17:00, 17:00 to Whenever

I think it's safe to say I like the video more than I like the song. And that I like the band more than their music. Then again, I like the chorus more than the rest of the song. This is probably going to turn into some sort of guilty pleasure. In short, I admit, as a package, I like the whole freaking thing. After all, what's the point fighting it? Exactly. And on that note '09:00 to 17:00, 17:00 to Whenever' might just be the best a bum title, ever.

Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. Feat. MNDR, Pharrell, Wiley & Wretch 32 - Record Collection 2012 (Logo Remix)

A: Mark Ronson & The Business Intl.
S: Record Collection 2012 (Logo Remix)
C: Record Collection 2012 - The Mixes

Whilst I'm normally not too big a fan for posting remixes on this blog, I simply had to put this one on. Mainly because of the fantastic, long and unwinding featuring list. Then, of course as well, because Mark Ronson is God. And because the Record Collection 2012 Mixes are released on Kitsuné, my favorite french label (not that I would know any or many other french music labels).

Is Tropical - Lies

A: Is Tropical
S: Lies
C: Native To

Since everybody but me liked their previous video for The Geeks (some even call it legendary, as in whatever), I figure it's time to kiss and dance up. Besides that, I'm wondering why this video isn't restricted, age-wise I mean. Maybe it is, everywhere but here in France where I am at the moment. Since this is the big nation of bigger love and it's making, they must have different standards.

R.E.M. - Imitation Of Life

A: R.E.M.
S: Imitation Of Life
C: Reveal

Metronomy - The Bay

A: Metronomy
S: The Bay
C: The English Riviera

I know, it's not a surprisingly new song to post, but it is my favorite one on the The English Riviera album. And it makes so much and perfectly sense to post it now, now that I'm visiting the French Riviera. Although, bien sûr, this isn't Paris, and this isn't London, and it's not Berlin, and it's not Hong Kong, not Tokyo. If you want to go, I'll take you back one day - It feels so good in the bay.
