18/13 - Cheesy Ramen Noodles

An anonymous week. Been spending far too much time in front of my laptop, tinkering with my new portfolio website which will hopefully go up very soon. Great gig with MMM at the union, but otherwise not much of note. Some tunes on top of that:


Just Friends - Avalanche

The best of two worlds. One of my favourite electronic producers (that's Nicolas Jaar hiding behind that moniker, plus Steven Spielberg's daughter) riffing on one of my all-time favourite songwriters' and one of his very best songs. The bit at 4:45 is magical.


Justin Timberlake - Mirrors

It's been around for a couple of months now, and now that the initial release-hype is over it's time for me to proclaim to the world that I love this song. When I was a kid this guy used to be my fav hate-object on the music video shows; nowadays he's adopted a very Petter-approved style and making at least one song per album that's completely irresistible. This time around it's this epic track. The final 3 minutes especially.


Looptroop Rockers ft. José Gonzalez - Priset På Allt

Living in Scotland I've slightly lost track of the swedish music scene. My fav artists' new releases I get around to sooner or later, but the latest hypes completely pass me by. Which is quite a relief most of the time. Found out this week that the old kings of swedish underground hip hop have released an album in swedish. While I prefer their older english rhymes, the guest spot on the refrain by José raises this one above the rest.
They know the price of everything
But not the value of anything

Juvelen - Of Course I Remember

Another swedish act. This one I know next to nothing about, but at some point in the past I downloaded a few of his songs, and this has reappeared lately. Nice housey take on post-Prince sleaze.


Wim Mertens - Wound To Wound

Been a while since I had an epic Wim Mertens-track on a list. Should be a mainstay.


A few wonderful acoustic reinditions in the video-section this week:







And everything I've heard from Vampire Weekend's new material (except the album title), is top notch. As clever and infectious as always, and I love the kids in the background:
