Can’t play this game ’cause I do not own an MP3 player, but I’m inspired to comment on your video selections this week. Love them both. Both songs are strange and sad, which is kind-of how I’m feeling on this rainy day.

10.the Beatles-Nowhere Man
Dang – what is that song and artist from the first video???
That Santogold album is my favorite work music right now. The whole album is about her going back to NY to get her shit together and make music. It’s totally positive and motivating. I’ve got her, Sam Sparrow, Unklejam, and Estelle on heavy rotation.
1. Estelle – American Boy (instrumental)
2. Quad City DJs – Space Jam Theme Song
3. Crystal Castles – 1983
4. Kings of Leon – Taper Jean Girl

6. Carolina Liar – Last Night
7. Jack Hammer – What Greater Love
8. Estelle – I Wanna Love You
9. Sonido Lasser Drakar – Tonight But No More
10. Scienz of Life – Metaphysics
The artist is Santogold, and the song is L.E.S. Artistes. She’s rad, and her album is amazing — highly recommended.
