December Playlist

Let’s kick off the new year with a little bit of dancy music. Put on your brightest spandex tights, don those Wayfarer knock-off shades, and shake your turkey-and-gravy-stuffed booties.

Wolf Gang - Lions In Cages

A great catchy chorus – a perfect way to start off a year, a playlist and, ultimately, a day.

Hooded Fang - Promise Land

A second song from my favourite new band of 2010 (first one being “Highway Steam” in November). The cascading waterfalls of keyboard arrangements in addition to Morse code drumming are guaranteed to stick in your memory for a little while.

Bikini - American Mourning

Let’s continue the toe-tapping romp with a song from this scantily-named New York band.

Winter Gloves - Plastic Slides

The band hailing from Montreal has recently released a new album All Red. If you're a big fan of their poppy hooks and synth-laden melodies, you won't be disappointed by what you hear.

Cut Copy - Take Me Over

Crafting their own brand of 80s-tinged pop, Cut Copy's new album is already one of the most anticipated of the young 2011.

Black Keys - Tighten Up

A seemless blend of soul and rock, "Tighten Up" is a great high-energy song. The band is Black Keys. The album is Brothers.
