Comment on “Déjà vu” by Giorgio Moroder
I love you, Giorgio, but this album sounds like it should be the soundtrack to the last season of Entourage. SO MUCH BRO.

Just look at this cover, then read the title again, then spend 8secs per track, then think that this is made by the Illuminati and will probably give you a disease you didn’t want.

Fell down the rdio rabbit hole and landed on this record. It’s an amazing mess of an album. It’s Funkadelic smoking pot with Skrillix plugins. (Go straight to Girlfriend)

FreedomVille: Just fast forward straight to 2:03 and listen to the lyrics. That’s the record.

This is not their greatest song, but who has never felt the reckless abandon of running away with her knowing “that they don’t give a fuck about us”.

Comment on “Only Heather” by Wild Nothing
The backbeat is all I hear in this song, and that’s a GREAT thing.

Comment on “Cock Robin” by Ansel Collins
The sun shines every time I listen to this song. Stripped down ska/reggae.

Comment on “Like Me” by 2 Chainz
One of the best songs on the album and one of the oddest love songs ever. Kinda.

Comment on “Plays the Hits!” by Sexton Blake
Was digging through my friends listens and ran into this album (HT neb!) and really like it for a covers record. Beautifully lazy.

Comment on “Monday” by I HEART HUCKABEES
When you are feeling existential while sitting in your cube working for The Man, this is your theme song.

If you love 70’s driving synth music a la Giorgio Moroder, this is your jam. I’ve been waiting for this!!

Comment on “Suite Bergamasque: 3. Clair De Lune” by Alexis Weissenberg
I have many versions of this piece and this is one of the best renditions I have ever heard. Haunting, beautiful, and a longing to be loved.

Comment on “Something Is Not Right With Me” by Cold War Kids
Not the happiest song, but that backbeat is infectious and mentally destructive. “I tried to call you collect, you would not accept, your friends are laughing because nobody uses payphones.”

Comment on “Scarface (Push It To The Limit)” by Paul Engemann
Holy Cow is this song something else. It’s like Flashdance made sexy time with some old guy in the Eagles.

Ok, its a fun mashup, but man is the production really bad. Couldn’t they pay Z-Trip?

This is the song you put on at 5p to finish a couple things up for work. KEEP IT ON REPEAT.

Comment on “Cosmic Concerto (Life Is People)” by Bill Fay
Beautiful track that fits somewhere between Spiritualized and Donovan. I’m really getting into Bill Fay’s music these days.

It’s like the bastard love child of Jonny Marr’s guitar and lazy/hazy Southern California pop. LOVE IT

Comment on “The Year Of Hibernation” by Youth Lagoon
I haven’t been this jazzed about an album in a long time. It is definitely my record for Sept 2012 as I play it to death. It’s perfect for a heatwave or a rainy day. My name is Schlomo and I approve this message.

Since rdio.com shuttered, I spent three months flailing about trying to cope with the loss with my already paid for Amazon Prime Music. That broke my heart so much that I just moved to Spotify, where its desktop app would rather update itself than bring me the tunes.

Big THANK YOU to rdio for allowing all of this data to be easily exported in .cvs
