Hey there Work Tunes peeps. This week I have got a couple of new albums (Iraho and Go-Go Boots), an old favourite or two (Let Love In and Pretty In Pink OST), an album by a band I've been meaning to hear more of for a while (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and a recommendation from a trustworthy Twitter source (The Felice Brothers). What it all looks like together is something like this:
- Awesome Dre - Can't Hold Me Back
- Iraho - Iraho
- VA - Pretty in Pink OST
- Justin Townes Earle - Good Life
- The Felice Brothers - Tonight At The Arizona
- Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
- Drive-By Truckers - Go-Go Boots
- Nick Cave - Let Love In
- Steve Tannen - Stopped at a Green Light
- Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
- De La Soul
- Uncle Tupelo
- Bright Eyes
- Mr. Bungle
- The Velvet Underground
Song of the Week : The Buggles - Astroboy (And the Proles on Parade)
I stumbled across this album last week and my first thought was “OMG they had a whole album?!” ‘They’ being The Buggles, he one-hit-wonder extraordinaires who wrote Video Killed The Radio Star.
The other tracks on the album are fairly diverse. Sometimes they sound a bit like Madness, others you think it’s The Cars, but generally nothing else sounds like Video (which I still maintain is a superb pop song).
I thought I’d make a track SOTW just so you could say you’ve heard more than one The Buggles song. I chose this one because it’s about Astroboy and he’s pretty mint.
Adios Amigos
That's it for now. I will try and narrow down the whole month's list to maybe 5 albums for a proper review later in the week. Until then, keep a good head and always carry a light bulb.
