Weekend of 07-06-12

They have a few bars like this in Portland – you should see Sangillo’s late night. Renewed love for air conditioning this week – haters gonna hate.
Viceroy – Chase Us Around – I know I give this guy a lot of props but when you make music like this, it’s hard not to. Here’s his latest single – about as feelgoodsummershit you can get.
MIA feat. Missy Elliot & Rye Rye – Bad Girls (Switch Remix) -Yes this is awesome. What a lineup – Rye Rye opened for a Santigold show I show a while back and she was like mixing methamphetamines with raw sex appeal. It was intense. This jam kind of reminds me of a female version of Lil Wayne.
Noosa – Walk On By -This ambient jam came on of blog stream this past week on a lazy, hot summer night. Smooth listening with a touch of somberness to make sure you’re not TOO optimistic about life (high five emo).
Germany Germany – Real Hero (College/Electric Youth Cover) – A sweet cover of that song from the Drive soundtrack that everyone seems to love and somehow I hate. Weird.
Patsy Cline – She’s Got You – Heard this one on my Summer Sunday Songza session and almost had to sit down. The same thing happened when I heard Otis Redding’s "This Heart of Mine." Hard to explain what’s going on with songs like this, but I like it. In a world where time is seemingly the most precious commodity we all have, this song melts it away effortlessly.
