Currently Listening To Repeatedly
Amerie, "1 Thing" – Goddam, which is sexier, Amerie or that drum groove? Producer Rich Harrison chopped up and pieced back together just a few seconds from the legendary Meters’ "Oh, Calcutta!", with Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste on drums and Leo Neocentelli on guitar. The result is a beat that has me making come faces when I play it, which is definitely the mark of a great drum groove.
The Coral, "In The Morning" – My American friends, make a note of this one, in about 6 months it will be all over the damn place. My British friends already have this one all over the damn place. How you can come up with such a bright and sunny track living in Merseyside I can’t tell you, but I like it more every time I listen to it, which has been a whole lot in the last week or so.
