Thought this was a wind up when I first saw it. Compellingly odd

I was just about to post this by the same:

It should be crap: synthpop with 70s crooner style club singing but I cant stop listening to it

+1 I Feel Love. The start of everything that's still interesting musically. Put the guitars down, it's all been done.

This once blew my socks/head/everything off and reduced a grown man to tears:

- Nous Sommes[/url]

To do it full justice you need really to download it in a lossless format and play it very loudly on an expensive hifi while under the influence. The ending is superb.

Yeah..as others have said these threads are an ace method of finding music out of our "[i]Comfort Zone[/i]" of regulars.

Heres another few, that on first hearing stopped me dead in my tracks,


Nils Frahm - Says

One of my fav albums this year for sure

Choppersquad, click the share link, then email, copy the email link, then click the video box above the text box on here, delete any text in the dialogue box, paste the copied text into it, click OK, et voila!
I've got the mini-album it came from, but RadMac played this track today, which brought it to mind:

Ed Harcourt, [i]Come Into My Dreamworld[/i]
Lovely spooky backing, with the Theremin, sounds like Ed fronting Portishead.

Cracking choice sweepy,

Gilles Peterson had Kate Tempest on his 6music show previous to last saturday, it's no longer on iplayer but a [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01znx9j ]a live track from Kate is available here[/url] - she's really something to see live and in full flow.

Check out [url=

Tempest - Brand New Ancients part 1 & 2[/url] if you haven't already.

Christian Löffler +1, I don't often agree with the reviews on Resident Advisor but a 4/5 was due for Young Alaska.

The Sonic Youth version of Superstar is amazing the complete antithesis of the Carpenters version, I have also been listening to Drunken Angel by Lucinda Williams which paints a very vivid picture

Abba super trouper. My first ever 7" purchase. I reckon it'd be impossible for that to blow your socks off. The sandals you wear over them would hold them firmly in place ;O)

There's some great stuff on here. Perhaps we should launch a few STW collaborative playlists?

Not so much a song and not that new but it is perfect for a certain moment.

Skálmöld & Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands - Kvaðning
Very reminiscent of Metallica's S & M with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. From that album, my favourite tune is this:

And an awesome cover of Bad Company, by Five Finger Death Punch

I pretty much have these on loop at the moment 🙂

Danny Mac vid inspired;

If you like First Aid Kit, also give Agnes Obel a listen.
Maybe a bit more downbeat but beautiful all the same.
Oh...and good shout for Nine Inch Nails.
Apparently I missed them at the O2 last week.
Didn't even know they were over here.

Hadn't heard this for years, til my iPod played it on shuffle on a drive yesterday.
The guitar solos are marvellous. Rawk fans will no doubt hate it 🙂

The riff in this, or break or hook or whatever it's called is just utterly addictive, especially if you can do the bass some justice when you listen to it.. the video is pretty smashing too..

blew me away anyways
