This Week’s Top 11 Playlist: 09 October 2015

Every Friday, I publish a playlist of songs that have for whatever reason attracted my attention over the past week. Maybe they’ll appeal to you, too. Thanks to Mediazoic for the hosting.

ARTIST SONG ALBUM  Comments
9-Oct-15 1 The Crookes I Wanna Waste My Time on You Single From Sheffield, home of the Arctic Monkeys. Jangly guitars.
2 Ezra Furman Body Was Made Perpetual Motion People Chicago singer-songwriter who self-describes as “gender fluid.”
3 Suede Outsiders Night Thoughts Taste of upcoming seventh studio album due in January.
4 Joanna Newsome Sapokanikan Divers Perfect for people who think that Kate Bush and Tori Amos are too mainstream. This song needs annotating.
5 DIIV Dopamine Is the Is Are Second album from NYC band. Pronounced “Dive,” by the way.

7 EL VY Return to the Moon Return to the Moon Featuring Matt Berninger from The National and Brent Knopf from Menomena.

  • Is it possible to get the to eleven playlist in text instead of a link to a player?

    For me, the easiest way to listen to a suggested playlist is to put it on my music subscription service (Google Music).

    Thanks,
