UPDATE: Kyle and Doc No! were randomly selected and have been contacted. Thanks everyone.
I'm desperately in need of new music. So, let's have a contest. Post in the comments the title and artist of two relatively recent songs you really like. Include your email so I can contact you if you win.
Songs I've liked lately:
"Put It Back Down" and "Spectacular" by Seymour Bits
"Bang Bang Bang" by Mark Ronson
"Indestructible" by Robyn
"Gotta Do" by Quentin Harris
"Fancy Footwork" by Chromeo
"Wolf Like Me" by TV on the Radio
I'll send a copy of the Threadless book to two random winners.
UPDATE: Speaking of music, Martin Brown just posted his top 100 of 2010 as four downloads.

1. Phantogram "Turn It Off"
ReplyDelete2. Caribou "Leave House"
(I don't know about recent, but they're both from 2010).
mbrossard at g mail
Black Angels, the album is Passover, the single is "Sniper at the gates of heaven"
ReplyDeleteBlack Mountain - The Hair Song
Arcade Fire's new album is top to bottom, awesome... Suburbs, Roccoco and Sprawl are all good tracks
Dead Weather - A Child Of A Few Hours Is Burning - it was debuted, I think, at Bonnaroo, but I don't know the album
Also, check out friends of mine:
Hank Becker's Rubber Knife Gang (Chasing Your Tail is a good track)
and Jack O'Neill of Jackopierce (Summer's Gone was their last single, last year, but I still love it)
Whoops, too many tracks!

"We Don't Want Your Body" by Stars
"Apply" by Glasser
exactwords at gmail dot com
Wish we could all trade mix cds....
"Too Much" and "Vesuvius" by Sufjan Stevens, from his incredible "Age of Adz" album
ReplyDelete"Barbra Streisand" by Duck Sauce is an incredibly stoopid, impossibly catchy dance tune that I listen to at least once a day when I need a pick-me-up.
I make a year-end "best of" mix every year - these songs are included on it, along with a bunch of other stuff form the last 12 months. Contact me if you'd like me to give you a link to download it. It would be my pleasure to share it with you!
