Here's a short list of artists I've been listening to over the last week or so. Click for additional stats on what else I like lately.

On the upstairs porch, at the Mansion on Judges Hill, Austin, TX, 11/9/07. Lonestar beer is the local swill, and is comparable to a Pabst, Stroh's, etc.

Coupla Jams

(click the song title to download)

TV on the Radio: "I Was a Lover" -- The heavy triplets in this beat make this song beg for some Prefuse 73 remix treatment. While you're at it, throw an MC on 16 bars and you have utter perfection. Even without, this song is still one of 2006's best, and reason alone to check out their new Return to Cookie Mountain.

The Knife: "We Share Our Mother's Health" -- This song is danceable brutality. All this chirp, squiggle, clack and thump says a lot about the future progression of dance(?) music. There's even a slight nod to British grime. Silent Shout sees official U.S. release tomorrow. Click on the photo for Pitchfork's interview with them.
