I very much like this song at the minute, it's a bit like (BEAR WITH ME, HERE) 'Idiotheque' by Radiohead being covered by Cut Copy. It was hidden down the back of the Kitsune Maison compilation that I downloaded so I could deafen myself with 'Want U' by Lo Fi Fnk four hundred times a morning and came up on shuffle t'other day, to my sudden, revelatory joy and my fellow commuters' probable despair, given how leaky my earphones are.

See? Jolly nice. I am a particular sucker for those kind of flicky-beat synth noises but I'd hypothesise that it'd take a heart even colder and blacker than mine to not quite like that.

On a flicky-beat note, there's also the really-quite-extraordinary 'Lions, Tigers and Bears' by Jazmine Sullivan, which is a sort of baroque'n'b MASSIVE BALLAD BLOWOUT with a huge Mercury Rev (NO COME BACK) bit in the last third-or-so that takes it all to a new and even more epic level. Go here and listen to it now. (I can't remember if we've talked about that before, tbh but it bears repeating)

Heard any good music recently, poptimists? I mean aside from all the REALLY AMAZING MUSIC you're going to all hear at POPTIMISM IN THE HORSE BAR, WESTMINSTER 7-12 TONITE WITH FREE ENTRY & TASTY BEER, obv.
