Five Albums You Should Be Listening to Right Now | Nerve.com - StumbleUpon. This week's curator: Chuck P, DJ for KCRW. Every two weeks, titans of the mediasphere give Nerve their music recommendations. This week: DJ Chuck P, of KCRW, whom you can join on his continuous search for what’s next on KCRW’s Music Blog. 1) High Highs, High Highs High Highs, from Brooklyn by way of Sydney, make music that’s light, airy, and easy to listen to. They remind me of what I love about both Tunng and the quieter moments from Blitzen Trapper, without sounding like either of those bands.

Their songs feature wonderful harmonies and melodies that stay with you well after it's over. High Highs have earned plenty of buzz over the past year, and this vinyl EP should open the door even wider than their recent tour with The Radio Dept. Listen: Horses 2) Cough Cool, Clausen Despite being named after a Misfits song (they do an excellent cover of “Some Kinda Hate”), Cough Cool generally sounds nothing like the New Jersey hardcore pioneers. Listen: Suckers 3) Gauntlet Hair, Gauntlet Hair.

The Beatles Player. 150 Best Tracks Of The Past 15 Years | #104 Lily Allen - Smile | NME.COM. Released: July 2006 It’s all in the way she tells it. No-one else could simultaneously sound as world-weary and mischievous as Lily Allen delivering that line about her emotionally-retarded ex "fucking the girl next door…what d’you do that for? ". In those ten-and-a-half words alone an exasperated modern female icon was born, bloomed and was shortly after hounded into an early retirement.

Lily always said she’d made the ‘Alright, Still’ album for a laugh and that we were lucky even to get a follow-up, but that doesn’t stop ‘Smile’ being one of those perfect storms in pop music when a song, an attitude and an unlikely star (in this case Harry Enfield’s gobby step-daughter) collide to create what is commonly known as a bit of a moment. How I Wrote 'Smile'Lily Allen It was the first song I wrote. Then the record got to Number One and everyone asks if I feel it is a revenge story. Ben Howard - Musictonic. Quite Scientific Records.
