MØ “Pilgrim” (MS MR Remix) Video

Liz — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:43:34 +0000

Danish singer Karen Marie Ørsted, AKA MØ, makes the kind of dreamlike, heartfelt pop music that can only come from Scandinavia. The remix of her latest single, “Pilgrim,” by NYC duo MS MR, is arguably better than the original and up for free download on FB. The video (fog/spotlights/lasers) is below via the premiere on Noisey.

The remix is taken from the 7″ single, out now in the US via Neon Gold.

Chris Malinchak “So Good To Me” Video

Liz — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:34:09 +0000

New York producer Chris Malinchak’s Marvin Gaye sampling “So Good To Me” is a tune, and the new video is a stupid adorable clip about finding a lost pet (spoiler grab below). The track will see an official release May 5 via the London based label Ministry of Sound. Not sure if an album is on the way, but there are plenty of EPs/singles to check out on Spotify/SoundCloud.

Daughter “Get Lucky” (Daft Punk Cover) on BBC Live Lounge

Liz — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:31:13 +0000

Not sure what took so long (10 days), but someone has finally covered Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” on BBC Live Lounge. London based trio Daughter try this one with zero funk and come out completely winning. Their debut album If You Leave with some lovely songs is due tomorrow via 4AD. (24B)

Phoenix “Entertainment” (Dirty Projectors Remix) MP3

Liz — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:08:40 +0000

Phoenix’ Bankrupt! came out this week. It’s pretty good for the most part but there’s definitely nothing as contagious and remixable as “Entertainment,” which literally just gets turned into a Dirty Projectors song on this one. It’s a very good one and you can download it below. More on Spotify and Soundcloud.

The xx “Together” (The Great Gatsby Soundtrack)

Liz — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:41:33 +0000

Just your typical xx song that’s really really great and part of the pretty superfluous soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby. Available May 6/7. #strings

MGMT “Alien Days” Stream

Liz — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:18:44 +0000

If you’re on the side of the fence that thinks MGMT’s sophomore LP, Congratulations, was sort of a train-wreck masterpiece, then you’ll probably also enjoy their new track “Alien Days.” it was released this weekend as a cassingle for Record Store Day and is streaming below via SoundCloud. Hoping it means more twisted, trippy ass MGMT music is on the way. “Keep using drugs guys.” – The internet

Poproks Tape (April 2013) Playlist

Liz — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:44:43 +0000

For various reasons, I’ve had less and less time to post new music on My Poproks. Sometimes a new National song comes out and it’s like the time just makes itself appear, but for the most part it’s been slow. I’ve decided to start putting together semi-quarterly/whenever-I feel-like-it playlists on Spotify with new music that I’m enjoying. Sort of like a podcast but like the more lazy version.

These will obviously be limited to what’s available on Spotify, so there will be some things missing from the list like awesome remixes, Rihanna’s “Stay,” and super new singles like that National song. What can you do?

If you don’t have Spotify, well then I dunno you should have Spotify.
