This week: people return, people sell out, people dance in ugly and not so ugly suits. You want all of these. And you want them now.

1. Franz Ferdinand, New Album Clips
Remember when Franz Ferdinand was EVERYWHERE?
Apparently, there IS a new album in the works.
Sounds danceable.

MP3 here via official website

2. Pharrell, Julian Casablancas, and Santogold, “My Drive Thru”
Let me quote NY Magazine on this one: The most prominent Neptune, the least photogenic Stroke, and Santogold sell out to bring us this semi-catchy track, a promotion for Converse shoes. But, the question is, can Converse shoes still be considered hip now that they’re endorsed by sellouts?

3. Girl Talk “I”
Something is off. Like-the tempo of this track.

MP3 here via Pitchfork and stereogum has an update

4. Gameboy/Gamegirl, “Sweaty Wet (Shir Khan Remix)”
Retro electro dance. Remixed. You bet it is summertime out there.

MP3 here via Get Weird

5. Phoenix, “Twenty-One One Zero”
Lets spend a second here discussing just how much I LOVE PHOENIX: I LOVE IT A LOT.
In fact, BYT collectively worships at the Phoenix feet (even if once we were rude to them when they showed up at Cosmo’s, of all places, but come on people, what was Phoenix doing at Cosmo’s in the first place? Wearing great suits and looking French and hot, that’s what they were doing.

Anyhoo, after way too long, new song, no words till the last 30 seconds, still good. We’ll take it.
Now give us more.

Prepare to love.

and a cool down with the stone cold and foxy:

As rolicky and great as you are hoping it will be.
