Tokyo Police Club - "Citizens of Tomorrow (Space Ballad Version)"

This is the only Tokyo Police Club song that I like. And this is the only version too. What bothers me so much about the band's other work is that it makes dancing feel like a mandatory requirement, like some kind of depressing dress code, so I just refuse to get into it on principle. This, however, drops that. He sings easily, almost to himself, and I'm finally free to float in the images, the clouds. The more you sound like the lost carnival dream of The Robot Ate Me, the better. [Buy]

The Morning Benders - "Damnit Anna"

This song has a very "introductory" quality. It's the first track on the new Morning Benders ep, but it's also inherently an "opener". What is it? Is it the lyrics passing by like a bus ad that doesn't sell anything? Is it the arcing refrain that melts and steams in the morning sun? Well, yes, it's these things, but the better question is why is it the 2nd song posted? No rules here. [2nd ep out March 13th]
