We have some repeat favorites on here this week, but hey, why fix what isn’t broken?

1. Vampire Weekend, “M79″
The album is finally out this week. Not that we have not heard all of it through leaks of leaks for months now.
The DC sold out show is next week.
The world take over is apparently imminent.
Still, great song, even if I am starting to get mad at all the buzzzzzzzzzz around this band.

2. The Redwalls, “Modern Diet” (live)
The Redwalls are slowly making their way through the whole Beatles trajectory, style wise.
Not that that is a bad thing.

3. Of Montreal, “Jimmy”
I love so many thing about this Of Montreal cover of M.I.A.’s reworking of Parvati Khan’s song from the 1982 Bollywood flick Disco Dancer, that I CAN BARELY DEAL. So Awesome, they should invent a new word for it.

4. Joanna Newsom, “Esame”
While for different reasons, my sentiments from the previous song apply here as well.
Wonderfully wonderful.

5. Supergrass, “345″
This is the B side for “Diamond Hoo Haa Man” which is so good that for a lesser band it would have been their A side and then some.

6. Headlights, “Cherry Tulips”
Jen went nuts over this band a while back and, needless to say, I should have listened. Headlights are touring with Evangelicals (whom I raved about a few weeks a go, and whose amazing new album is out now) and they make me so happy that if I could pack them into a box and carry them in my pocket forever I would.
ALSO, They’re coming to DC on the 21st to IOTA, and everyone form a nice orderly line now.

and finally

7. ABX, “Moneymaking Money Maker That Makes Money”
Putting a new meaning to cross-referencing irony, ABX mashes up Rilo Kiley’s “Moneymaker” with Ludacris’ (you guessed it!) “Moneymaker to amazing if somewhat mixed up results.
