To celebrate Memorial Day, here’s an anti-communist funk song from the ’70s, “Go Home, Commie.”

Wreckless Eric - “Brain Thieves”

“In a 1995 interview with Peter Doggett (found on the limited edition Rykodisc release An Overview Disc), former Stiff Records label-mate Elvis Costello mentions that, due to their unusual vocal styles, Stiff had originally envisioned a split LP between himself and Eric, with each artist taking one side of the record.”

For an entire hour tonight, an adult pop radio station in Athens, GA played two different songs simultaneously. I made a short recording, for posterity.

armindak:

Hospitality performing “Julie” at Glasslands in Brooklyn 02.03.12.

Try to ignore the one guy that “Woo”s a lot in the background.

Their record just came out, and I highly recommend buying it.

I wasn’t the guy woo-ing.

My Favorite Songs of 2011

Here’s a Spotify playlist of my favorite songs of 2011. I hope you like it.

Many of these songs were released years ago, and many are old favorites that I had apparently forgotten about, only to rediscover them this year. I spent a good portion of the year listening to all of the “1001 Albums,” and many of the selections reflect this project.

Regarding the methodology of composing this list, throughout the year I “starred” songs I found particularly important or interesting in iTunes, and this list is the collective result. I’m sure there are still quite a few songs I missed, and I’m sure more than a few are pretty embarrassing.

I love everything about this album cover.

Last night I saw Unknown Mortal Orchestra at Glasslands. One of the unexpected highlights of the show was the opening act, Hospitality. They write brilliant jazz/pop songs. They just got signed to Merge, so I expect when their LP finally comes out they’ll take over the world.
