Hello it’s your friendly playlist junkie poking her adorable lil head out to say hello.

#diSKOAverweekly: Week of November 13, 2019
Yeah yeah yeah I know what you’re thinking and you’re right: it HAS been awhile since I gave this an update.
Honestly? Got real sad. 😑
My bad.
Anyway yer girl is getting back into the swing of things and I have some extra tasty treats as a means to make up for all the time you went without me being around.
Here are this week’s picks!
Classixx - “Love Me No More”
I cannot tell you how relieved I am that LA duo Classixx finally popped their heads up in 2019. I want more french touch vibes from these guys and I want it now! Such a beautiful tribute to Philippe Zdar.
Mason - “Take It Down (feat. SLANG) - Radio Edit”
Trying to think of a subpar Mason song and I don’t believe it exists. Dude is so 🔥
Tom Aspaul - “Traces”
I need all of the Black Country Disco and I need it NOW, TOM! (PS this song is very fun to sing along to while you’re walking home drunk from a night out, which feels very appropriate if you follow Tom on Instagram.)
Timi Temple - “Quick Words, Long Trouble”
The wonder from down under keeps cranking out some rocktastic jamz.
Trunky Juno - “It’s A Trip”
Dream pop perfection + cute pups = why I love Trunky Juno so hard. PS the dog in the artwork this time around is named BRUCE. 😭
Bombay Bicycle Club - “Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You) - Single Version”
First taste of album #5 has me hungry for more that’s for sure!
BAMBARA - “Serafina”
Fun true story I fell for this band courtesy of a shaky cam video of a show my friend was at. If you know me you know how much I fucking hate people who a) incessantly take videos at shows, b) do a terrible job of recording said show aka not holding still to get watchable footage, and c) post them on the internet as if anyone cares. Speaks to how good these guys are tbh.
Terrell Hines - “Feel Good”
You might have caught a clip of another track from Terrell during the Apple keynote when they unveiled the iPhone 11. In addition to an impending feature on the new Beck album that’s dropping next week he’s got three tracks of his own in the wild including this one which is by far my favorite. It was kind of my medicine for a minute. Excited to hear his collab with my favorite person on the planet.
Denitia - “Place To Be”
Brooklyn bedroom pop bb Denitia just dropped her debut album Touch of the Sky last week, giving you plenty of time to add her to your year end list.
Alae - “Hit Me Where It Hurts”
Not only is this the perfect bop for sad people dancing, but the video for it is hysterical.
Blackbird Blackbird - “Myself”
My taco bae’s sound is aging like a fine wine. 💖
NASAYA - “PLASTIC STRAW (feat. Tim Atlas)”
This song is very good and is safe for marine animals. Also Tim Atlas seems to be everywhere and I am HERE FOR IT.
Pretty Sister - “Happy (feat. MarLo & Perri)”
LA’s Pretty Sister has consistently dropped pure feel good vibes and I am grateful for the bottled sunshine here in frigid ass Brooklyn.
LP GIOBBI - “Jungle Queen (feat. TT The Artist)”
I don’t have a playlist solely for hype songs but I might have to start one so I never forget what a bad bitch I am (because let’s face it I could never forget how badass LP Giobbi is).
MISSIO - “Audi A4”
I got distracted from MISSIO in the middle of the year and finally carved out time to listen to their record, The Darker The Weather // The Better The Man and good LORDE is it full of bangers.
Fly By Midnight - “Love Me Like A Friend”
This pair of friends I met at a mixer a year or so ago have been climbing the ranks with every track they release. They’ve really perfected that perfect blend of radio friendly pop-rock
[Watch] Bombay Bicycle Club - "Beg" (Official Video)
Bombay Bicycle Club's new video for "Beg" sees two guys dancing. That's it. But it's the fact that their actions over the course of their day is so relatable that makes this an irresistable video to watch. How often do you get out of bed, turn on some music, and start dancing, and that dancing continues on for the whole day? Wherever you go, the beat is there and your feet are moving, from the moment you wake up to the moment you get home at the end of the day.
"Beg" is the latest single off of Bombay Bicycle Club's third studio album A Different Kind of Fix, with the single seeing release on July 8th via Island Records.

[News] Reading & Leeds Festival Line-up Announced. Foo Fighters, The Cure, Kasabian Headlining
Every bank holiday weekend in August a music festival takes place in Leeds and Reading, both of which have the same line-up playing alternate days and as preciously reported, last night the line-up was finally released. Rumours had been flying around for quite some time about who would be making an appearance and it's always nice when the rumours become a reality. As you can see from the above poster, arena conquerors Foo Fighters will return to their comfortable headline slot with The Black Keys playing before them. The Cure will also make a return to the festival, their first in 30 years! Paramore will play beneath them. Florence & The Machine will also play beneath Kasabian on the 3rd day.
Other artists announced in this first round include Justice, Maccabees and At The Drive in heading up the NME stage with the line-up being filled out by riff mongrels Pulled Apart By Horses who will open up main stage on the Friday at Leeds. Also filling out the bill are Cancer Bats, Crystal Castles, The Cribs, Miike Snow, The Horrors and SBTRKT. The Shins will make their return also! Soak it all in and make the jump to see which bands play which day at the two festivals. See you there!

[Listen] Bombay Bicycle Club - "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep" (Tom Vek's Big Beatnik Mix)
I fell in love with the Bombay Bicycle Club single "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep" and the video was just a treat for the eyes too. Then the band then brought the track to the studio of Last Call with Carson Daly and now we get to hear another take on the single from Tom Vek who's re-worked the single adding his own magic touch to the song. He's given the track a bit more upbeat feel whilst keeping the foundations well and truly intact. It's been named 'Tom Vek's Big Beatnik Mix' so see if it lives up to that title below.
Bombay Bicycle Club's A Different Kind of Fix is out everywhere now.
[Watch] Bombay Bicycle Club - "Shuffle" x "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep" Live on Last Call
Last week on Last Call with Carson Daly they aired two tracks that were performed by Bombay Bicycle Club from their show at the El Rey Theatre in LA. The performances were of their tracks "Shuffle" and "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep". Courtesy of The Audio Perv you can see the former at the top and the latter is available after the jump.
Their album, A Different Kind of Fix, is out now.

Bombay Bicycle Club have just uploaded their new video for the track "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep". The track features on the band's album, A Different Kind Of Fix, and the Anna Ginsburg directed video features some snazzy looking claymation and the dreams that ensue once he's of counting sheep. How happy does he seem? Watch out for the jelly fish!
