Matthew and the Arrogant Sea - "The Wizard". Okay, yeah, I gotta admit - this is what the theme-song for a wizard ought to sound like. No harps, no celestas - just some explanatory notes and then a long electric jam with the repeated intonation, HE IS THE WIZARD. Because the essential fact of wizards is not their magic, their beards or their pointy hats; it's the fact that they kick ass, all over you, 'til you're a crumpled dweeb of a warlock who's asking meekly to be allowed to go. [Out in October! MySpace]
Lykke Li - "I'm Good, I'm Gone (Metronomy remix)". Most of Lykke Li's music lives in lightness - I wrote in Plan B of a girl from Sweden with bedroom eyes, dancing shoes, raspberries and mirrors in her hair. So what I love in this remix is the way Metronomy have added heaviness & weight. In The Dark Knight, every time Batman punches someone there's this tom-drum boom, like he's throwing medicine balls around. And here it's the same deal - Li's got oomph now, she's got knock-out, every little glance knocking the poor boys flat. [buy]
