Music for the Weekend

1. "Heads Will Roll", Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Every time I listen to this track, I want to put on my leather jacket and 4 inch heels. This song is so bad ass. I love that it's kind of eerie and mellow, but still makes me want to do a little shake.

I've always admired Karen O's unique sense of style. It's fun, bold and un-formulaic. I'm loving her dress and the crazy clear puff sleeves in this video. I probably wouldn't wear it in real life, but for a music video, I think it's perfect.

2. "Crystalised (Rory Phillips Remix)", The XX
The XX has been in heavy rotation in my iTunes, and this remix from Rory Phillips is one of the main reasons.

3. "Earthquake", Little Boots
This is and has always been my favorite track from Little Boots. I'm so happy she made it a single! A side note about Ms. Boots, she is so cute and funny; she tagged her video with "not lady gaga". Love!

4. "Something New", The Black Ghosts
Not a new track, but it never seems to get old for me. I listen to this song whenever I need a little pick me up. It's been very helpful for me with brainstorm and work sessions.

5. "Seven (Crookers Remix)", Fever Ray
If you're a fan of The Knife, you'll probably recognize the vocals. It's Karin Dreijer Andersson, one half of The Knife. I was going to post the original track, but keeping the weekend in mind, I decided to post the electro remix from Crookers.

Have a great weekend, and New Yorkers, stay warm!

Music for the Weekend

1. "aNYway", Duck Sauce
I've been obsessed with this song ever since I heard it on a disco yacht party this past summer. Armand Van Helden and A-Trak released that first video just a couple weeks ago, and earlier this week, A-Trak posted the Surface to Air version to his Vimeo and YouTube. God, I love the French.


2. "Sweet Dreams", Beyonce
I'm not a fan of the video, but the beat is so sick. It makes me want to hit the dance floor and maybe rub up on a hottie.

3. "Shelter (Them Jeans Drum Edit)", The XX
I love the original of this song, but I've had this edit on loop for weeks. It's just so sexy. Side note about The XX, I feel like they became the hot band of the moment out of nowhere in the past couple of weeks, and now I'm kicking myself for not buying tickets to their show sooner. Ugh, sold out. Oh well, they'll be back...

4. "11th Dimension", Julian Casablancas
The new single from Stokes' front man, I'm into it! It's a fun pop rock track. It makes me want to put on my boots and hit the bars for drunken dancing with my besties.

5. "Lisztomania (Classixx remix)", Phoenix
I've been listening to this remix a lot at work - and after work too now that I think about it. It's just such a beautiful song, and Classixx's edit gives it a nice chill vibe, perfect for brainstorming and unwinding.

Let me know what you've been listening to, and have a great weekend!
