56 The Sound of Arrows - "Danger" (el nuevo fichaje de Labrador)
Labrador signs The Sound of Arrows (free MP3)Labrador is proud to present The Sound of Arrows - the band that will lead Swedish pop into the next decade. With the deepest love possible they gather sounds and samples from all over and turn them into lush pop songs with exquisitely beautiful melodies.

The Sound of Arrows treat their own songs like remixes and will present their releases almost like mixtapes. Their approach to music bare some similarity to Saint Etienne around “Foxbase Alpha” or The Avalanches, but they never end up sounding like either. The future of music can not be compared to anything - this is The Sound of Arrows!
"Danger!" is taken from the upcoming 9-track (!) EP due to be released on May 7. The Sound of Arrows - "Danger!"

54 Shocking Pinks - Emily

El primer trabajo del neozelandés y antiguo bateria de The Brunettes, Nick Harte AKA Shocking Pinks y su álbum homónimo para el sello de LCD Soundsystem (DFA). Este es el single “Emily”, aunque mi favorita es su versión de un tema de Arthur Russell, “You Can Make Me Feel Bad”. En el disco hay de todo: pop, baile estilo DFA, instrumentales ambientales y ruido. Variado

52 The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

Esta canción tiene una de las letras más bobas de la historia del pop, hecho agravado con que además la copian del “Friday on my mind” de The Easybeats. Sin embargo la música tiene unas armonías y melodías tan bonitas que yo les perdono. Incluso les perdono su imagen que siempre me ha repelido en grado extremo. No hay más que ver la foto y el clip...

51 Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians "Raymond Chandler Evening"

It's a Raymond Chandler Evening
At the end of someone's day
And I'm standing in my pocket
And I'm slowly turning grey
I remember what I told you
But I can't remember why
And the yellow leaves are falling
In a spiral from the sky
There's a body on the railings
That I can't identify
And I'd like to reassure you but
I'm not that kind of guy
It's a Raymond Chandler Evening
And the pavements are all wet
And I'm lurking in the shadows
'Cause it hasn't happened yet
