Metric – “Waves”
As my imaginary ex-husband reported yesterday, Metric are back! “Waves” is supposedly a b-side to their new album Fantasies, although don’t quote me on that. A cute track that makes me glad they’ve returned.

800beloved – “Mortgage Your Organs”
Garage shoegaze, if there is such a thing. From their debut album Bouquet which I’m planning to review in the near future (but I can tell you already that it’s great). “Mortgage Your Organs” is definitely my song of the week as it is completely intoxicating but also slightly morbid lyric-wise. Although the title probably gave that away.

zZz – “Angel” (No Tricks Remix)
Despite their name this song is far from a snoozer. Sharp electro rock that’s gotten an added bit of umph! courtesy of No Tricks. It also features male vocals that sounds like he’s trying to pick you up at a sleazy bar. Now how can you resist that?

Still Flyin’ – “Good Thing It’s a Ghost Town Around Here”
Fun song by a fun band. Upbeat ska pop that reminds me of good old bands like The Specials and Madness with a flurry of instruments and singers. Like riding a roller coaster (except I hate roller coasters but for some reason I can’t get that simile our of my head when listening to this).

Digitalism – “Taken Away” (Fredrick Carlsson Remix)
I honestly haven’t heard the original of this one so I can’t say if Fredrick Carlsson made it better or not, but I really like it. Good dance tune to welcome the weekend with. Get taken away! Oh, and if you head over to his Myspace you can download Fredrick’s EP for free.
