Amateur Best - The Good Life

One of my favorites from last week. Amateur Best is Primary 1's latest project. They are releasing a comic book with one song in every issue, check it out here http://www.amateurbest.co.uk/.

Issue 1 starts:

"This is the story of James Best, latent alcoholic, sometime London based DJ, and lifelong amateur.

We invite you now to follow our hero through the murder and the mayhem that is pre-Olimpik London, as James' fate becomes inexorably entwined with that of the city he lives in.

There will be tears."

Justice - Cannon + Newlands

I originally felt lukewarm about Justice's upcoming album Audio, Video, Disco, but Cannon has certainly undone that. Newlands - a little lighter a little brighter, is also a classic in the making. Set to drop on October 24th via Ed Banger Records, you can pre-order it on i-Tunes right now.

Second Date - Young, Beautiful, Etc

Second Date's voice lazily lilts over some radiant, ivory synth to remind you he's really just a lot happier without you.

|VIDEO| Florence + The Machine - Shake it Out

Florence + The Machine's sophomore album Ceremonials is due out November 15th in the United States. Though Shake it Out just dropped last week, it's already received a remix by The Weeknd and has just been paired with a dizzy display of glittering masqueraders.

The Weeknd's take:

 Florence & The Machine - Shake It Out (The Weeknd Remix) by W-R-G


"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter -- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...and one fine morning -- so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

 -- F. Scott Fitzgerald.
