You Were Dressed Like A Punk But You Were Too Young To Remember

Belle & Sebastian “I’m A Cuckoo” (Avalanches remix) – This doesn’t sound much like how you might expect it to – rather than being a dance remix, this is a reworked version of the song with Stuart Murdoch’s voice paired with a Sudanese band from Melbourne. Essentially, it’s Belle & Sebastian gone world music. It works for me; I prefer the song with this rather joyous arrangement to the Thin Lizzy-aping album version.

Fox and Wolf “Youth Alcoholic” – This infectiously cheerful retro-80s dance pop tune is from the Swedish/Norwegian duo’s debut EP, which is apparently only available in Norway.

Sorry for that half-assed write-up, by the way. I’m a bit preoccupied today.
