Week 171

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 63

The endless heatwave (breaking records about warmth globally but still unwilling to do something serious about the environment), the amount of important decisions pending, tough bad news... here comes stress and anxiety. But at least we have the music, excellent music that flows continuously, even on holidays. So here's our new TOP TEN playlist, full of new discoveries without forgetting consecrated bands as Superchunk. As usual, it's also available at our Soundcloud blog page, so please join us!

Back from Primavera Club 2011's playlist

After PC2011. Stuff & fIRA fEM's setlist

Back to the blog after being abducted for the last 5 days, thanks to the Primavera Club 2011 (PC2011). I'll be posting quite a few about the Festival in the next days (you can already check the chronicles I already wrote in Spanish) of it , but for now, here's a playlist of songs from the bands I watched during the previous week. Majority of them are the best ones I heard (in my opinion, of course) during their gigs, but Tigercats' tune and Villarroel's and Capitán's additions were the only ones I was able to find on the web. Enjoy!

1. Slack Motherfucker- Superchunk
2. Shredder- JEFF The Brotherhood
3. Cubata de Fairy- Las Ruinas
4. Deer- Autumn Comets
5. Lemonade- Braids
6. Love Like a River- Girls
7. Endless Summer- Still Corners
8. The Party- St.Vincent
9. Ladies, Claps, (and Gentlemen)- fIRA fEM
10. She is Beyond Good and Evil- The Pop Group
11. Konny Huck- Tigercats
12. Peppermint- Spectrals
13. Slivers of You- Puro Instinct
14. Starry Eyes- Veronica Falls

plus Capitán's song "Portugal"
Capitán "Portugal"
and Villarroel's "Pesca de la Langosta"
