My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 25):

1. Bootsy Collins – "Album of the Year #1 Funkateer". In some cases, "indistinguishable from his other stuff" would be a negative, but when it's Bootsy and his other stuff is stone classic funk from his 1970s heyday, it's a good thing indeed.

2. Mavis Staples – "Worthy". Staples brings her legendary R&B/gospel chops to meet MNDR's neo-soul club beat in this feel-good throwback to her '80s Prince collaborations.

3. Horse Jumper of Love – "Snow Angel". Leaning into the louder regions of shoegaze, this track from Boston's HJOL almost strays into Nirvana territory.

4. King Krule – "Time for Slurp". From KK's new EP "Shhhhhhh!" comes this 2 and a quarter minute, take-no-prisoners darkwave basher.

5. Ed Schrader's Music Beat – "Daylight Commander". Somehow this mashes several '80s UK indie, goth, postpunk and synthpop buttons simultaneously without me being able to quite pinpoint who it sounds like. It'll probably hit me at 3 in the morning. And they're from Baltimore!
