Two songs I recently downloaded (along with one I’m almost too ashamed to name)

That parenthetical? Yeah, Tik Tok. So what? It reminds me of the pool at the Hard Rock in Vegas. And that was a lovely, lovely place, beleedat.
Fine, onto the real music:

1) “Dance, Dance, Dance,” Lykke Li. Man, I don’t even know how I stumbled into this one, but this Swede-gal’s voice just soothes my soul. And, that’s not easy to do. Not by a longshot. She’s like a less-avian Bjork. Perfect for writing time.

2) “Hundred/Million,” The Whigs. Not sure why I dig this track. Maybe it’s the tempo. Maybe it’s how I feel like they’re closer to real than all those skinny-jean mascots out there. Who knows? But I do. And with music, that’s good enough, right?
