“Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free; that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve.”

shoomp

Look, if I re-posted everything I love from the Neon Gold blog, this thing would be nothing but Neon Gold posts. And, you know, that's why I link them to the left, because they're awesome, and I love them, but holy moly, I gotta re-post this. I haven't been sold on Mr. Little Jeans just yet, but this Royal Palms remix of "Rescue Song" is hardcore rocking my world. It's all slinky, sultry until the bottom drops out, and it's like SHOOMP SHOOMP SHOOMP.


Lykke Li drops a banger. I like how she always veers away from being too twee or cute. Like she can sing a pretty song, but wouldn't hesitate to shove you against a locker and put a knife against your neck, and even though it would have a mother-of-pearl handle and be, like, three inches long, it's still a knife, you know, and WHAT THE HELL IS IT DOING NEAR YOUR NECK?


Last, here's James Blake's gorgeous cover of Feist's "Limit to Your Love." Not much to say about it (it's awesome!) except that it reminds me of Jamie Lidell. Which is why I'm putting a Jamie Lidell video below it.
