I begin this fashionably late Mag Munday with a delicious B-side :)

It’s Youthmovies, and it’s the wonderful ‘After The Kicking K‘. Exploding with bursts of snare and brass, before churning out its big thick bass-line, pounding away. The song carries you into a lull of dreamy post-rock, carefully building into the second half of the song, with soaring brass and gentle guitar work. I’m glad I discovered this song, tucked away as a b-side of ‘The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor’, it’s one of my favourites now! :D

Buy: ‘The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor’

Javelin, from Providence, Rhode Island is mainly a hip-hop artist, but ‘Soda Popinski‘ dives into chiptune territory. It’s very tinny and plastic to begin, but it quickly builds into an in-depth and very danceable chiptune, with song bangin’ beats. The only downside to this awesome, awesome song is the length. It’s short. :( Still, give it a listen! It’s a great tune and very catchy!!

I’m not sure how to buy their music, so here’s their Myspace.

It’s Death From Above 1979. I’ve been listening to their ‘Heads Up’ EP again lately, and ‘Losing Friends‘ is what I’m addicted to. So here you are. I don’t need to say anything else really, it’s DFA.

Mp3: Losing Friends

Buy ‘Heads Up’
