new music

Favorite songs of the summer are (in no particular order):

Heartbreaker -- MSTRKRFT. Music video here (and it made no sense to me either. Perhaps there's a deeper meaning to the video but I didn't see anything significant).

Old Enough -- The Raconteurs. Weird whispering at the beginning of the music video, but I like the song. A lot. It's my kind of country (and being an avowed country music hater, that's saying something).



Going On -- Gnarls Barkley. My feel-good song of the summer. I just get real happy when this song plays. Unfortunately this video only has part of the song. Drat.



Single Ladies -- Beyonce. Not really the biggest Beyonce fan out there, but this is a catchy tune. Much better than the other songs I've heard from her latest album (for example, "Halo" drives me up the wall).

Let's Break Up -- Hayden. Another "I can't believe it's country-ish" song. Very fun.

Her Morning Elegance -- Oren Lavie. Pretty much addicted to this song. And the video.



Other honorable mentions are 15 Step (Radiohead), Funny The Way It Is (Dave Matthews Band), U2 and Coldplay's newest albums, Mykonos (Fleet Foxes), Syndicate (The Fray), and for some reason, Led Zeppelin.

Summer, in other words, has been great.
