The CD has a couple 80's-rific songs (like most ChipperDemon mixes) in addition to some fantastic random instrument inclusion jams. To point out some favorites: Jamaica's "I Think I Like U 2," Wolf Parade's "What Did My Lover Say?" Harlem's "Gay Human Bones," Javelin's "Oh! Centra," The Futureheads' "Struck Dumb" and, of course, the bonus tracks.
Tracklist as follows:
1. I Think I Like U 2 - Jamaica (lyrics)
Jamaica's debut album, produced by one half of Justice and the sound engineer of Daft Punk, proves to deserve their early-on attention. Their single, 'I Think I Like U 2,' is but one of their great jams. For such a simple song, you would not expect the video that goes with it.
2. Later – Dr. Dog
Jamaica's debut album, produced by one half of Justice and the sound engineer of Daft Punk, proves to deserve their early-on attention. Their single, 'I Think I Like U 2,' is but one of their great jams. For such a simple song, you would not expect the video that goes with it.
2. Later – Dr. Dog
Creators of 'The Beach' and 'The Old Days' (two of ChipperDemon's favorite tracks ever), Dr. Dog has come out with their latest album, Shame Shame, and it's... polished. The gritty-ness that was rather endearing about Dr. Dog has been refined with a certain Flaming Lips kind of cleanness that is not at all disappointing, just different.
3. The Suburbs – Arcade Fire
The latest Arcade Fire album really only has a few great songs. 'The Suburbs' along with a couple others make the album worth the time to listen though.
4. What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Has to Go This Way) - Wolf Parade
Among the top 25 summer albums recommended by Spin Magazine, Wolf Parade's Expo 86 features this Killers-esque track. Watch out, the chorus of this song will have you randomly singing "What did my lover say?" in a low and strange way.
5. Flash Delerium – MGMT
'Flash Delirium,' is from their April released album, Congratulations. The track is pretty chill for an MGMT song, as is the entire album. Congratulations, while a mastery, is not MGMT's previous album, Oracular Spectacular.
6. Gay Human Bones – Harlem
Fans of the lo-fi and catchy riff sound will head bob to Austin hipster band, Harlem. Their sequel album, Hippies, features some real light hearted and fun jams.
7. Solitude in Bliss – Tame Impala
With a review from Pitchfork stating their new album, "toys with paisley pop, stoner vibes, and an expansive array of swirling guitars" Tame Impala's Innerspeaker is worth the check out.
8. 40 Day Dream – Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Having gone to see Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros at the Orange Peel in July, this song was fantastically performed. It is the kind of song that gets buried deep into the singing later part of my brain.
9. Believer – Goldfrapp
As an 80's dance beat enthusiast with a strong Cyndi Lauper devotion, I have found Goldfrapp's latest album to be head band, leg warmer fantastic.
10. Congratulations – MGMT
Another well done song by MGMT. Despite Congratulations not being more dancy, these two tracks prove MGMT's other great song building strengths.
11. Hollywood – Codeine Velvet Club
It'a all in the crescendos for this song. All in the crescendos.
12. Oh! Centra – Javelin
"Oh! Centra do, I'm watching you, let's see what you can do" makes this song worthy of any ChipperDemon mix. You will anticipate this song coming just to sing along with this lyric.
13. From Stardust to Sentience – High Places
This is just one of those necessary songs for it's light vocals and great interluding music. There were a few gems to choose from on High Places' latest album, but in the end, 'From Stardust to Sentience' had it all along.
14. Home – Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Well, didn't this song get popular.
15. Stranger – Dr. Dog
While, 'Later' is probably the favorite off of Shame, Shame, 'Stranger' has a magnetic chorus power that was just too hard to deny.
16. Struck Dumb – The Futureheads
Just really like this band. The Futureheads' new album is pretty similar to their last, and maybe not as good as their first, but it's just so hard to say no to Clash-a-likes.
17. Rocket – Goldfrapp
When it came to choosing a Goldfrapp song to feature, it was impossible to pass off the music video for 'Rocket.' I encourage you to check out the rest of the album.
