I’m always astonished that considering the hours and hours I spend every day listening to, talking, or BBMing, about music that I actually want to listen to anything ever again let alone nerd-out compiling lists to pester my friends about stuff they really should hear.

This is the current version of such a list and it is pretty eclectic, something for cool kids (super hip Rollerskaters), for those who nurture a secret sophisticated Goth in their hearts (yes Interpol are back), and those who wish they were rolling in Maybachs this summer (new Rick Ro$$)… I hope you enjoy the selection.

APOLLO GHOSTS
“Things You Go Through”

This is the highlight from the Canadian three piece’s second album “Mount Benson”, pure summer bounce.

ROLLERSKATERS
“Sleep Tight”

Apparently not busy enough with The Young Friends (signed to The Drums’ Holiday Records) Andrew Mckee says this song simply happened due to “being bored after school”.

DIAMOND NIGHTS
“Medusa”

I was always sad that more things never happened for this band, this new song is as ace as “Destination Diamonds” from their first album.

HOLY GHOST!
“Say My Name”

Somehow this is only the third original song Holy Ghost has ever released! It sounds like the Bee Gees in a really good way and is taken from “Static On The Wire” ep out next week in the US.

WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS
“So This Is Goodbye” (Pink Ganter Remix)

“So This Is Goodbye” was a bonus track recorded during “The Sparrow And The Crow” sessions, an album supposedly written about his divorce. It should be an awfully sad song, but the remix is gently upbeat.

ALOE BLACC
“I Need A Dollar”

The best thing by far about the new HBO series “How To Make It In America” (sold as the “East coast ‘Entourage’” – it’s not) is this theme tune.

My Summer Anthems.

VS
THE-DREAM
“Love King”

INTERPOL
“Lights”

The first song to be released from their fourth album, it is impeccably melancholic and epic in true Interpol fashion.
