Here’s another highlight from Puro Instinct‘s Headbangers in Ecstasy, still our favorite full-length of 2011 so far: “Silky Eyes” displays the group’s knack for crafting songs with deceptively complex structures, in which ethereal, in-the-clouds dream-pop seamlessly morphs into shimmering, soft focus disco-lite and jangly post-punk in just over 3 minutes. Or as their label puts it, “think Fleetwood Mac, Bobb Trimble, and Lush in a champagne filled jacuzzi — but with a bit more sparkle and smog.” Look for a video for this one in the near future:

barry white- love’s theme. (no joke).
Favorite ‘love jam’? The Beach Boys :: ‘I’m Waiting for the Day’
John Lennon – Oh, Yoko!
Such a great song, I can just see John sitting at home singing that to her.
My personal favorite though:
Yo La Tengo- Our Way to Fall
Thanks. I sat at home and sang it to my Yoko yesterday.

prince— i would die 4 u
She Bop by Cyndi Lauper
Gila – Beach House
common-faithful

Daft Punk-Something About Us and The Cure-Love Song
Summer Camp – Round the Moon
Kiss – Prince
My favorite love jam is…
Bob Marley – Waiting In Vain
sara – fleetwood mac
Love Song – Tilly and the Wall
Love jam: Love Hurts, the Gram Parsons version. There, I said it.
But think about it! You know James Benning, the filmmaker? When this song shows up in his film on Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, it jams in the most lovesick (yet background-y) kind of way. Nancy Holt is into it too. That says something.
Also PI rules. Send me some goods in Thailand!
Brenton Wood – Gimme Little Sign
Gangster of Love by The Geto Boys.
“I’ve never been played by a ho!
If the bitch is acting stupid,
She’s got to go!”

“out of all those kinds of people
you got a face with a view
i’m just an animal looking for a home
share the same space for a minute or two
and you love me till my heart stops
love me till i’m dead”
My favorite love jam is for sure Fleetwood Mac – Silver Springs, but the live version off of The Dance. Totally the bossest of boss love jams. ALSO, FEBRUARY 22ND IS MY BIRTHDAY. Gonna keep my fingers crossed for this one!

Ronnie Laws – Let’s Keep It Together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJL26Vekdw0
From the first bleats of the sax, parting the sensual mist like a sweaty mustache, you know what’s up, what’s goin down. Straight groove grease, baby.
Death From Above 1979 – Pull Out
Pipilotti Rist – I’m a victim of this song (Wicked Game cover)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBI5-icTytQ
Best cover ever! The end of the song is just hilarious!
Cocteau Twins – “Those Eyes, That Mouth”
