in acoustic, beirut, best of the month, bloc party, botm, daft punk, feist, gary lightbody, kanye west, lisa hannigan, live, mix, mp3, music, radiohead, remix and sunset rubdown.
This months BOTM volume is getting released a bit earlier than would be the normal case. I’ll be travelling this weekend and I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to post again {let alone upload loads of music}. Volume 2 is filled with all the good music I could get my hands on and I tried especially hard to find those tracks which may have slipped by you on the first go round. I understand that not everyone can check every blog every single day, I know I can’t, but hopefully through this mishmash of a collection I’ve found something everyone can enjoy.
And enjoy it you shall. This BOTM volume comes wrapped up in the tape of love. Cheers.
mp3 : Beirut - My Night With the Prostitute from Marseille
mp3 : Bloc Party - Flux (JFK Remix)
mp3 : Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger (Alive Tour)
mp3 : Feist - 1,2,3,4 (Van She Tech Remix)
mp3 : Feist - I Feel It All
mp3 : Gary Lightbody and Lisa Hannigan - Some Surprise
mp3 : Kanye West - Flashing Lights (Mano Uptemp Remix)
mp3 : Radiohead - Blow Out (Live Acoustic) {actually Thom Yorke and some of The Posies}
mp3 : Radiohead - Reckoner
mp3 : Sunset Rubdown - The Taming of the Hands That Came Back To Life
Every single one of these tracks is solid from start to end. I absolutely love the Beirut track and Lisa Hannigan has been on my mind ever since, well, everything she’s ever done. These, my friends, are the best of the month for a reason. They really are the best tracks that I found using the power of the interwebs and other various and sundry means of discovery. If you’re only going to download one track, out of all this goodness, I would recommend the track by Beirut. It really is brilliant.

I like this band a lot. I think they have a completely unique style of crafting music that is at once precocious and a true aural delight. And I find it odd that these qualities exist in a band created by Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade. You see, I view Wolf Parade as basic Modest Mouse rip off artists without much real interest to their music, lyrics, or style and yet from this band musical goodies flourish.
On this latest effort the music is intriguing and diverse. There seem to be layers upon layers that can only truly be appreciated after repeat listening. And understand, I try to digest all of my new music aqcuistions in this manner, but it’s not always this fun to put a new album on repeat for a couple of hours. Anyway, the album is called Random Spirit Lover (iTunes), and is a worth follow up to the previous effort, Shut Up I Am Dreaming (iTunes). Check it out and enjoy the song below, it’s track three off of the new album. And yes, this really is the title of the song and not a Sufjan Stevens contest for longest song title of the decade.
mp3 : Sunset Rubdown - Up on Your Leopard, Upon the End of Your Feral Days
Honestly, it just sounds like they’re having fun. Which I’ve heard can be hard to do if you call Canada home. (Oh, I said it!)
