Start your weekend with The Weeknd?

The Weeknd - Thursday by The_Weeknd

Retro (Non) Wednesday

It's been a while since we've had a proper Retro Wednesday (like 8 days...) and I couldn't wait any longer y'all. Wednesday is just too far away and the weekend is just too damn close. This is all about fun.

Remember this? I do. I used to think this song was called "Show Me Love." Silly me.



Little Dragon covered it with much aplomb. I also recommend listening to some of Little Dragon's newest album, particularly "Union Ritual." (Click here to listen + remixes!)

Little Dragon - Gypsy Woman (Crystal Waters cover) by NONACIENMANCHESTER

Am I Guilty?

Yes. I am guilty of playing this song way too much. But I can not get enough, the chorus is too much fun. Its not new, but the whole album Moment Bends is wicked good, incredibly 80's and poppy, and perfect your summer days.

Contact High - Architecture in Helsinki

Retro Wednesday Sample

You might recognize the sample. Or maybe you don't. It's one of those songs you've heard all your life but have no idea the name of. It's "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes. Doesn't ring a bell? Well, that doesn't matter. Feel the early-60s vibe of it in Hunx and His Punx's newest video "Lover's Lane."
