While Business Casual was a pretty solid album, everything I’ve heard from this latest Chromeo release sounds like it could be their best record yet.

#songoftheday: College feat. Electric Youth – A Real Hero
Just about to head out on a little road trip for my sister’s wedding.
Perfect time for a bit of the Drive soundtrack.
#songoftheday: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion Cover)
In the world of Punk Rock Covers, no band comes even remotely close to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
They’ve really outdone themselves on this new album. It perfectly combines the high quality song picks of their first album, with the more complicated arrangements from their later releases. When it’s performed by these guys, turning Celine Dion’s well known ballad into an Irish drinking song just makes sense.
#songoftheday: Dal★Shabet – Mr. Bang Bang
Multiple wardrobe changes is without a doubt, the secret to a successful bank heist.
Funny enough, I came across this tune a couple years ago, while trying to track down a song about professional wrestler, and New York Times #1 best-seller, Mick Foley.
#songoftheday: Ellie Goulding – Figure 8
Just a hint of dubstep to go along with Ellie Goulding’s signature synth-pop sound.
#songoftheday: Pearl Jam – Sleeping By Myself
A more stripped down version of this song was originally featured on Eddie Vedder’s solo album, “Ukulele Songs”. This take, featuring the full band, retains the sombre tone of the original, but manages to come across as kind of beautiful and uplifting at the same time.
#songoftheday: U2 – Invisible
“I don’t dream, not as such
I don’t even think about you that much…
Unless I start to think at all.”
I’m always wowed by the way that U2 manages to retain a signature sound, but always manage to come across as sounding contemporary. The fact that they’ve consistently pulled this off for over thirty years is just insane.
#songoftheday: Weezer – I’m Your Daddy
As a band, Weezer has had their share of cheesy moments, but this delightfully dorky take on one of their Raditude-era songs is my favourite. Best clarinet solo ever.
#songoftheday: MØ – Glass
I honestly have no idea how her name’s pronounced, but I do enjoy the song.
#songoftheday: Jack White – Lazaretto
The fact that Jack White continues to release music on a regular basis takes a bit of the sting off the fact that the White Stripes are still on hiatus.
Here’s the lead single off his upcoming album, “Lazaretto”.
