Me And The Moon (Twin Shadow REMIX with No FX)
The name "Me And The Moon" immediately invokes the sweetness of a bedtime story or a lullaby. The Drums' original is your favorite '80s teen romp, but when Twin Shadow steps in, he brings it back to hitting the hay by flipping it into ecstatic dreaminess. This is like being catapulted from the beginning of slumber into a full whirlwind REM cycle where your nocturnal narrative is replete with hydraulic roller skates that take you pretty much wherever you want to go.

Hey Stop (Club Mix)
Sunday Girl's "Stop Hey" is suited for electro-slow dances, a modern day Marie Antoinette ballroom bumper. Pitted against dubstep crackerjack, Rusko, it becomes speedier and airier, almost enhancing its forlorn love song elements and giving it the dual ability to help your pining heart. Hers is for your bedroom ruminations, his belongs to exorcizing loneliness by blowing the lid off in a room full of people, underneath flashing lights.

The Merry Barracks
Deerhoof's behemoth catalogue of disjointed indie jams can make you do crazy things. Once we saw someone start stabbing his kitchen cabinet because of the raw guitar riffs these San Franciscan gurus of punk provide. "The Merry Barracks", the first single off of their new album Deerhoof vs. Evil, is a feedbacky thumper that will incite many air drum riots.
