Here’s a whipped together mix of songs I’m listening to this morning, all acquired sometime over the summer. Okay, since like May. Whatever.
- Asher Roth – “Be By Myself” – A very fun track with Cee-Lo on the hook. Asher performed in our office a few months back, and it was pretty cool seeing him in a small group on the 24th floor.
- Rick Ross – “Mafia Music” – This record wasn’t anywhere near as good as Ross’ last effort, IMHO, but he’s got like half the planet appearing on songs, so who can complain about that.
- Depeche Mode – “Fragile Tension” – I’m pretty sure that if Depeche Mode continued making albums until the end of time, people would listen.
- Silversun Pickups – “Catch & Release” – another band that we got to see here in the office, and we also had at “It’s On with Alexa Chung” earlier this summer. Really enjoy them, and this is one of my favorite tracks off their latest.
- ATB – “Luminescene” – ATB’s always been a consistent pick-me-up, and really really good driving music.
- Veruca Salt – “Disconnected” – VS is one of my fave bands of the last two decades. They’re loud (most of the time), they’re catchy when they wanna be, and I just think they’re fun to listen to. Nina Gordon leaving the band was one of the more destructive things I’d seen in awhile to a band I was into…
- Al Kapone – “Poppin’ Tags” – “I just popped a new tag…” I gotta say, now that I’d had the chance to make my way down to Memphis for a few days earlier this year, I can see why people dig on that Three 6 Mafia et al sound. It’s hot.
- Britney Spears – “Circus (Villians Remix)” – Hate all you want, but this is the one disc I’d ever had playing in my car when I parked a car with valet only to find it playing like 7 or 8 tracks later when I got in the car.
- Franz Ferdinand – “Take Me Out (Daft Punk Remix)” – No, really.
- Green Day – “East Jesus Nowhere” – Oh, how I love to jam out to Green Day in the office. Do they ever stop?
