We All Have Favorite Songs But We Don’t Know What Keys They’re In

The New Pornographers “Your Daddy Don’t Know” This is one of the three non-album New Pornographers tracks that have been released to date; it is taken from the Fubar soundtrack, and is a cover of the 80s Canadian powerpop band Toronto’s biggest hit. Neko Case sings lead, and it’s definitely one of her finest studio performances. I promise you that this song will be stuck in your head all day, so if you want to avoid that sort of thing, just don’t bother and move right along.

LCD Soundsystem “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House” (live) This is the excellent new LCD Soundsystem song that I mentioned in my post about their live show last week, as performed at the

Les Transmusicales de Rennes 2002 festival.
