“Much Too Long” by The Sounds.
Sometimes I wake up with this song in my head. It’s got a catchy hook, but that’s about all I have to say about it:

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble "Rivers of Congo"

It seems this blog hasn’t been updated lately. I still think it’s a great idea, though, so I’m pleased to share the following:
It’s a creepy, ambient vibe with an amazing bass line that manages to suck me in and keep me guessing at the same time as it juxtaposes solid riffing with asymmetrical time signatures. I don’t know much about the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, but I dig their stuff. I suppose “darkjazz” is a good enough genre label, though “ambient” might work. At their best they sound like something between Aphex Twin and Medeski, Martin and Wood.

Pavement “Summer Babe (Winter Version)”
While they suck live, they certainly hit the ball out of the park with “Slanted and Enchanted”

Blink 182’s “I Miss You” is cheesy as all hell & yet perhaps this is why it is also a certain brand of delicately perfect pop: http://darknight05.uboot.com/mm/01/75280...
The chorus, I’m afraid, is everything. I’ve always thought the harmonies & double vocals are the secrets behind the temporary magic of this band, & this is a subtle example of that. The string work, too, is very effective. This song has been stuck in my head for more than a week now; it’s something charming, somehow.
