My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 17):

1. St. Vincent – "Big Time Nothing". Annie Clark brilliantly channels the sound and swagger of Fashion-era Bowie and (duh) Big Time-era Peter Gabriel. #music

2. DIIV – "Frog in Boiling Water". More woozy, whammy-bar dreaminess from the album of the same name by Brooklyn's DIIV. Strong followup to week 13 top 5 pick "Everyone Out". #music

3. Amadou & Mariam – "Mogolu". Mali's first couple of music is back with a new tune that's got their familiar swing. #music

4. Bat for Lashes – "Home". Slowburner whose tenderness is given a dimension of heartache and longing by distortion on the bass and vocals. #music
