My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 44):

1. LCD Soundsystem – "X-Ray Eyes". I came late to the LCD Soundsystem party, but if this headbobbing earworm is any indication, it's a party that's still in full swing. #music

2. Chastity Belt – "That Guy". Walla Walla's Chastity Belt carry on the tradition of rockin' all-woman jangle pop groups extending back to Salem 66 and Scrawl (to name two of my personal faves). #music

3. Mary Timony – "Curious Tides". Really two songs: an acoustic raga gives way after two minutes to a Heliumesque alternative rock raveup. #music

5. Mogwai – "Lion Rumpus". A typically raucous and epic postrock workout from Glasgow veterans Mogwai. #music

4. Richard Dawson – "Polytunnel". Low-fi folk from English singer-songwriter about working in the garden. Deceptively simple, the tune meanders through several different sections and Dawson's entire vocal range. Fearless. #music
