28/16 - We Kill The Flame

I turned a year older, we got the radio back in the kitchen, and the Freak Zone has never been so good.

Mala ft. Asociacion Juvenil Puno - Kotos

I love it when it happens. The radio is on, a book is in my lap, music drifts by – good music, great music even – and then suddenly there is a sound that goes straight to my spine. The book drops, the ears perk, the mind goes yyeeEEES. A brand new discovery, and that first swooshing of actual peruvian pan flutes at 30 seconds in remains absolutely fucking amazing after any number of listens.

Yo La Tengo - Autumn Sweater

Chillout lounge music with killer basslines – a genre Yo La Tengo basically made up.

CAN - Sunday Jam

CAN can be so lush and groovy when they want to. If you focus on the hi hat throughout this track you may start to feel really weird. In a good way.

Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker

What. A. Fucking. Album! Leonard you've done it again! You're the greatest Leonard. The greatest. And this might be your greatest late career record. And that is no easy spot to claim.

Mica Levi - Love

Spooky glissandos to round off in halloween fashion. Strings almost as spine-tingling as the flutes that began the list.
