Repeat Songs of the Week

Robert DeLong / Global Concepts

This is so much more electronic than I usually listen to but I am so struck by the lyric "Did I leave my life to chance/ Or did I make you fucking dance?"  that I can get over the random bleep bloops in the middle.  The melody on the sung part is riveting.

P!nk featuring Nate Ruess / Just Give Me A Reason

Further adventures in my "I'd listen to Nate Ruess sing anything" series.  Plus, who would have thought that Miss "I'm Coming Out" would be behind some of the most gut-wrenching and honest looks at heartbreak the last decade has seen?

The Lumineers / Dead Sea

Everyone is sick of Ho Hay anyway.

Ben Howard / Keep Your Head Up

SQUEE!!!!  This whole album is amazing and has been on repeat for days, but this is the one I find myself singing along to most.

Sit Kitty Sit / Purge

I saw these guys in my neighborhood and really liked them.  I LOVE the piano intro on this one.

The Mowgli's / San Francisco

Geographical narcissism + a fun, bouncy melody?  Yes and yes!
