Another summer, a new manuscript, a new playlist.
Everybody’s Talkin’: Harry Nilsson
http://youtu.be/2AzEY6ZqkuE
Notes: This is what genius plus stage fright look like.
A Heart Like Mine: Dwight Yoakam
Notes: This is what sexy country magic looks like.
Braids: Lemonade
Notes: None. Just listen.
Hot Like Dimes: Pretty Lights
Notes: Term “woot woot” apparently invented to describe the “Hot Like” songs by Pretty Lights.
Someone to Love Me: Mary J. Blige
Notes: If you don’t love Mary J., you were born without ears.
It’s Like That: Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins
Notes: Don’t know what’s greatest about this: the music or the way the dancers all look like pure, fresh-faced possibility.
Time to Pretend: MGMT
Notes: Don’t do drugs even if druggie music is often excellent. Also, it’s probably best not to date models.
Call Me a Hole: NIN v Carly Rae Jepson
Notes: Because, obviously!
