I dunno about you but I have a horrible hangover from a Thursday night out without any dinner. If you think you can spot any sophisticated themes going on with this playlist it wasn't intended, it's simply a mixture of what was written about on the site this week that I wanted to quilt my addled mind with.
If you don't know the dealio already then these weekly mixtape-like playlists are simply just a collection of songs with links to content wot were published on DiS this week. CLICK HERE to fire up the playlist in Spotify (available for free in most countries here) and listen whilst reading all the below if you haven't done so already...
Spotifriday - No. 33
J Dilla (aka Jay Dee) 'WorkinOnIt'
You need J Dilla in your life. Just look how many recurring threads we have which concur, including this one posted this week on the anniversary of his death.
Pantha Du Prince 'Stick To My Side'
Let's drop the pace, don't wanna peak too early. The exceptional Black Noise album was out this week, read Hari's 9/10 review.
Stardeath And White Dwarfs with The Flaming Lips 'On The Run' - feat. Henry Rollins
Is there anything Wayne Coyne can't do? Those of you off to Bonnaroo are in for a treat as they'll once again be recreating Dark Side of the Moon. Bring it to the UK, yeah? Please Wayne? Thanks bro.
Lil Wayne 'Drop The World'
Rebirth has landed. Only scored a 5/5 in this review. This track has Eminem on it and comes with a big ol' PARENTAL ADVISORY warning if you happen to offended by cussin'. Oh and if you click just one link in this article, make it this one as this piece from Oxford American about Lil Wayne is one of the best pieces I've read about the cultural impact of music in quite a long time.
Flying Lotus 'GNG BNG'
New long-player ahoy!
Gil Scott-Heron 'New York Is Killing Me'
"Seriously good..." "Astonishing!" and those are just the first two comments beneath this nine outta ten scoring elpee.
Stevie Wonder 'Master Blaster (Jammin')'
From one legend to another. He's doing Bonnaroo too, which hopefully indicates that those Glasto rumours have some glimmer of truth?!
Gonzales 'Dot - Instrumental'
From one piano genius to another. Except this one wants a piano fight with Mister Boogie Woogie.
Youthmovies 'The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor'
There will be tears when Mears sings _"in fact it was over when you pinned me, it was over when I pinned you..." at these farewell shows.
Tune-Yards 'Real Live Flesh'
This is this week's SINGLE OF THE WEEK.
She & Him 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want'
Oh Zooey (pictured above) . Oh Mister Ward. You can have whatever the hell you want. A slot at Matt Groening's ATP? You got it!
Blur 'Tender' - Live at Hyde Park Their new DVD documentary No Distance Left to Run got the Lukowski review treatment here.
Fionn Regan 'Protection Racket'
He has a new album out and still has nowt to do with Ronald or ray-guns.
Field Music 'Them That Do Nothing'
Is the double album too much? This single seems too good for the album to be too much, surely?
Phoenix 'Rome'
Our 2009 album of the yearers won a Grammy and now they're headlining Field Day.
Worriedaboutsatan 'Arrivals - P45's Departed For London Remix'
This is intense. They've got new stuff coming.
