As a play on Ben’s over and over playlists, here’s a recently-shazamed batch. I admit to removing 3 songs from this list that I just can’t admit to having enjoyed in any way, even by way of guilty pleasure. One by a band with a broken shouldered lead singer, one by a Canadian band I have always loathed and one (twice) by a big old cheeseball just below John Mayer on the cheeseball chain.
8.7.09 – Peace of Mind – Bat For Lashes
6.14.09 – Fine for Now – Grizzly Bear
5.25.09 – Hot N Cold – Katy Perry – I don’t condone listening. It’s catchy and I hate to love it. Or love to hate it. One of those.
5.22.09 – Hollow Talk – Choir of Young Believers
5.21.09 – Help, I’m Alive – Metric
5.14.09 – More of This – Vetiver
5.3.09 – No Surprise – James Yuill – This one has been on regular rotation during my car rides for the last couple of months.
5.1.09 -Sinnerman – Nina Simone

Cad and I spent last week in New York. Unfortunately it wasn’t vacation and there was mandatory face-to-computer time. Luckily we stumbled upon Building on Bond early in our visit. A few blocks from our old place on Atlantic, and dangerously close to The Brooklyn Inn. When Monday rolled around I walked in for the first time, linked up to their WiFi, and ordered a Stella (it was afternoon – please). As I walked back to my table, M83 began piping out of their speakers. I’m easy, that’s all it took to convince me to relocate MMW‘s office for the week. Caddie was an equally easy sell.
So consider this our Building on Bond edition. Following are a few songs that we heard in B’klyn during our five days camped out on the corner of Bond and Pacific. Some new, some not…
