ONLY FIRE CAN GO REPLACE HIS CROWN

WU LYF I "LYF" I Go Tell Fire To The Mountain 
After much anticipation, the tracks of the mystifying Wu Lyf group have been released on an album! Having my first listen right now and it's a stunner. Going to let it brew a bit before giving the full album a review, but I can all ready tell it is going to be an album obsession for sure! When they first released this track I was so thankful something big was coming on, music so uninhibited it just burns with energy and spirit. The kind of fire thats been fizzling out in today's music.

WORDS ARE ALMOST NEVER SEEN & NEVER EVEN HEARD

The Raconteurs I "Rich Kid Blues/ Kissy Kissy (Kills Cover) I Consolers of the Lonely
Coming across this live rendition of Jack White and The Raconteurs covering Terri Reid's 'Rich Kid Blues' was fantastic enough as is, but the transition into 'Kissy Kissy', one of my all time favourite songs by The Kills, just made this live jam even more amazing! Jack White you can do no wrong!

IN THE HALF LIGHT WE ARE FREE

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO LOOK STUPID WHEN I'M SLEEPING...

I never really liked sunny days
The black wings just reach out to me over a distance…
And I can feel the wind from the wings
I see the clouds, I feel the ocean with my feet, and I’m home again
It requires an ability to judge distance
The aeroplane flies high…turns left, looks right
Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
If I knew where I was going I would already be there
(Laugh) I wish I had more time
Judicious, beautiful, augmented, whatever
I’ve always been afraid to die, but I think I’m more afraid to live
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I’m disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I’m disconnected by your smile
Wishing you were real to me
Wishing I could make believe
I’ll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn’t save
Always knew I couldn’t save you
And in the heart I know you’re there
And in my heart I know you care
And in my heart I know you don’t

ANOTHER MILLION HYPNOTIZED

Eddy Current Suppression Ring I "Colour Television" I Primary ColoursNo matter how many times I play this song I just can't get sick of it. The lyrics are so simple, yet so brilliant. Turn of the TV, turn this song up, and dance your ass off for 5 minutes. It will feel way better than channel surfing through garbage for hours on end.

I'm liking their live performance of the song too, they're a great Aussie band. Fantastic base riff!

I'LL MEASURE TIME, I'LL MEASURE HEIGHT, I'LL CALCULATE MY BIRTH RIGHT

Polly Jean f***ing rules. Raw and real. They just don't make female artists like her these days.

PJ Harvey I "Man-Sized" I Rid of Me

THERE'S MORE TO THE PICTURE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Beautifully haunting cover of Neil Young's 'Out of the Blue'. If Sons of Anarchy wasn't such an amazing show, I would still just watch it for the great music.
