What a brilliant week in Glasgow. Much arty. Much party. These are my GI tunes.
Hot Chip - Dancing In the Dark
As untouchable as the original may be, this becomes more than the sum of its parts when they start weaving in those lines from All My Friends too. Two anthems in one!Rihanna - We Found Love
Yes, obviously Work has been ubiquitous here too – what with all the work being shown everywhere, there really is no other other song that gets hummed as much. But the best Rihanna moment was at the Saturday afterparty, in a prom-like atmosphere in St. Luke's church, with balloons and bunting above our heads, the DJ played this and it felt like everyone was there and I loved them all.
Caribou - Our Love
That bass gives me the shivers! The tune almost doesn't need the beat drop. I just want it to keep shimmering around the bass forever.Erykah Badu - Cel U Lar Device
Another top choice from the Saturday DJ. Why would you ever play the Drake version, when this exists? The 2:35 transition is ace. Erykah's phrasing is titillatingly precise. And the flowery soloing in the end adds some kind of weird nostalgia to the mix. The perfect workover.
William Onyeabor - Atomic Bomb
When in Glasgow, listen to William Onyeabor. That should be an adage.I'm gonna explode
