SLEEP

It's summer and i'll fall asleep on a slab of rock wearing what looks like a worn out and shrunken Goth-Santa coat if I want to! Fuck you, man!

Midnight City - M83 This track by an electronic/dream pop act from France (named after spiral galaxy Messier 83) has the coolest sounding hook I've heard in a while. Your ears go all, "what the fuck?," and then boom, you've been dragged in. Interestingly enough, it ends with a saxophone solo. Guess you're not the only one, Lady Caca!

Lotus Flower (Jacques Greene RMX) -Radiohead This is shleepy, alright. You already love Radioheard, so it's convenient when some fucking asshole comes in and remixes the shit out of 'em and makes it okay to listen to an album already a few months old. Just kidding. We like those assholes. They make life bearable.

Legendary Weapons (feat. Ghostface Killah, AZ & M.O.P.) - Wu-Tang Clan Accompanied by AZ, the great MC, Ghostface Killah is actually the only Wu-Tang member featured on this track. You bet your ass this is the one and only time you'll ever consider Wu-Tang something suitable to slip into REM sleep to. Hint: blaze with this.

Country Roads (Pretty Lights Remix) - John Denver So you see the name John Denver and ask yourself what the fuck my problem is, but then you realize Pretty Lights got their hands on this and resume the fetal position, realizing I am your mother and you need me to survive. You're welcome. It's dubstep (not really... it's chillstep) you can daydream and regular dream to. So go back to bed you fucking baby.

Careless Teens - The Bilinda Butchers Hey, have some nostalgia pop from San Francisco. The duo says their sound is imbued with tones of "romantic uncertainty and sorrow." That's true. But I also know for a fact that, apropos, you're probably a careless teen yourself and that this will be in your iTunes in 30 seconds. Ready, set, hoe.

Silly Thoughts (Balam Acab remix) - Mathieu Santos You guessed it first: isn't Mathieu Santos the bassist for Ra Ra Riot? Well, that's exactly who he is, but you definitely didn't know that. Behold, his solo project. Guess he got tired of lurking around aimlessly in the background? Or of getting laid so much painfully less frequently than Wes and Milo? Probably, considering most girls still pronounce "bass" like the fucking fish.

Okay, James Franco. We get it. You think you can do everything. But can you, really? (Note: he's teaching a class at NYU for graduate film students. He makes them compile/edit a film using footage of... James Franco. It's literally a class taught by James Franco... about James Franco. Just kidding that's a rumor. It's about some poet.) Actor, writer, academic, and now... musician? But who am I to say if it's good or not? It's not like I run a website or anything...! Fuck it. You guys decide.
