Sam Sparro - Black And Gold

Damn, Sam. Can I have your gaybies?

Great live lounge-style version of his 2008 hit "Black and Gold."



And here's a video with the cosmic lyrics of the original song.

Nostalgia 77 - Quiet Dawn (Bonobo Remix)

Free download here.

My room mate Thomas kept pumping silky jazz from behind his closed bedroom door last week. On Sunday, I finally interrupted him to ask if he would share the album with me, and ended up with a copy of Nostalgia 77's 2008 "One Off's, Remixes & B-Sides".

This track brings together some great talent, with music from the prolific Benedic Lamdin (a.k.a. Nostalgia 77), drifting vocals by Beth Rowley, and narcotic chillout treatment by Ninja Tune's own Bonobo. I'm really digging the metaphorical lyrics that envision a very psychedelic sense of reality. The original is equally as lovely.
