Random 10 for April 11, 2009

Electric Feel

1. MGMT, Electric Feel.” Producer Dave Fridmann and our heroes get all soul-boy on us, meshing Quincy Jones disco with 3/4-time psychedelia. It will make you wanna dance, but you’ll probably break something with that waltz time signature driving the funk.
2. Hot Chip, “Down With Prince.”
3. Wale, “The Kramer.”
4. New Order, “Exit.”

5. Animal Collective, “My Girls.” The closest these Brooklynites have gotten to a pop song — ever. From Merriweather Post Pavilion, the collection that showed that Animal Collective could be accessible while still blowing minds.
6. Beanie Sigel feat. Jay-Z vs. Ratatat, “Glock Nines.”
7. The Connells, “Over There.”
8. Dean and Britta, “Night Nurse.”
9. Maria Taylor, “Lady Luck.”

10. Lily Allen, “Not Fair.” Lily uses her “Rawhide” number as an excuse to send up ’70s country music television. If that isn’t Porter Wagoner, it’s a remarkable simulation.
