If you're a watcher of Gossip Girl, you know why we're hooked on this song (Chuck and Blair 4ever!) The beat is infectious and the lyrics are simple - a perfect addition to your Memorial Day weekend soundtrack.
Cool Kids: "Pennies (the updated rosters remix)"
This fantastic remix of "Pennies" (found on Cool Kids' summer-time-soundtrack-worthy Gone Fishing) features an awesome Ludacris drop and an even better Bun B verse featuring the lyric "I'm so sick with it, better pass me the Tamiflu."
Little Boots: "New In Town"
Apparently the next big thing in British pop, the diminutive, aptly-named Little Boots' "New In Town" is incredibly infectious, and the video (NSFW-ish towards the end, but not any more-so than a Brittney video) features some pretty great choreography... dancing bums = fun!!
The Rural Alberta Advantage: "Don't Haunt This Place"
Canada! Cellos!! Male/female harmonized vocals!!! I'm giving you excited fragments because I don't know anything about this band except that their debut album is due out in July via Saddle Creek, and if this track is indicative of their overall sound, I'll definitely be checking it out.
Harlem Shakes: "Nothing But The Change II"
Honestly, there have been two albums playing on an essential repeat for me the past week, and Harlem Shakes' Technicolor Health is one of them. This is the opening track, and it builds perfectly from beginning to end, with each verse/chorus cycle adding a little more texture.
Passion Pit: "Little Secrets"
Passion Pit's Manners is the other album, and "Little Secrets" is my current favorite. Although there's a very good chance that'll change in the next few days... I've already switched the title of "favorite" two times in a week. It's so good!
