If you’ve been keeping up with this website for a while, you may have noticed I don’t necessarily blog about cutting edge-seconds-after-release brand new tracks. I have in the past and I might in the future, but as the days have passed I’ve realized that nobody gives a fuck who broke news of whatever hyped track first. For now and the future, all that matters to me is the lasting appeal of whatever it is I’m listening to. Everything is too short-lived these days and it’s honestly not a great thing. Savor these moments my friends.

You want the latest-cutting-edge-neu-LA-disco-dubstep-gonein60seconds hip shit? Find it elsewhere because all you’re going to find here is quality.

Miike Snow just released their self titled album and the single ‘Animal’ is obviously fun as hell. Not to forget the fact that anything Treasure Fingers touches turns into…..erm… treasure, he turns this pop escapade into screaming keyboard synth rampage. It might be ugly as sin in LA weather-wise, but it’s still summer and this bleeds it!

Also, the Crookers remix of ‘Animal’ is featured on the Miike Snow myspace and well, you know, whatever.

To Andrew: (fuck CITS^n x infinity), Them Jeans sent this to me a while back. I raved about it for a minute on twitter and somehow forgot all about it. MY BAD. never again. PUT YOUR BONGOS UP.

Feel this track.  Them Jeans reworked the YYY’s ‘Soft Shock’ into a bongo-tastic summertime chill capsule. WE POPPIN PILLS.  You need more bongo?

Savor the music, savor the light, savor your lives.
Before you know it, things seem to vanish.
