We’re Not Caving In

Red Astaire “Follow Me” – This bossanova-style remix of D’Angelo’s “Left & Right” (with Method Man and Redman!) is all over late night UK radio, and with good reason. Snap this up and love it now before it ends up in a million tv ads.

Grand National “Playing In The Distance” – I can’t get over how much the backing vocals on this song sounds like Police-era Sting. Please don’t let that dissuade you from checking this out, though – it’s a solid groove-rock number with some nice sax noodling over the last few minutes. This is taken from the London band’s debut 12″ EP1, which just came out this past December in the UK.

Elsewhere: Badger Minor has started to blog mp3s. I recommend the Brett Smiley tune in particular.
