Is Your Dad A Dealer, Cos You’re Dope To Me

M.I.A. “URAQT (Diplo Mix)” – Similar to how Sideways is now my favorite wine connoisseur road trip buddy movie, this is the best pop song about infidelity via cell phone text messaging that I’ve ever heard. The entirety of the Piracy Funds Terrorism mix by Diplo is hot, but this is the highest high, tucked away at the end of the cd just before the “Big Pimpin'” mash-up. I’ve had this tune stuck in my head all weekend, only partially due to the fact that I’ve been playing it endlessly on repeat. (Click here to buy it from Turntable Lab.)

S. “I’m So Bored I’m Going To Sleep” – I’m sure that S. is probably very tired of being compared to Cat Power, but the singer really does sound a bit like Chan Marshall. Basically, this sounds like a Cat Power song trapped inside of the machinery of a giant killer robot. (Click here to buy it from Suicide Squeeze.)

Also: The Fluxblog Vs. Stereogum night at APT is coming up on Tuesday, November 23rd. If you’re in the NYC area, please do come out. I’ve got some special stuff planned for the night, including a few songs so secret and so hot that I cannot post them on the blog. I don’t want to give too much away, but here’s one hint: KMSS.
