last winter i went to see ‘shame’ in the theaters, and despite the rampant nudity, glory holes, and sexual innuendos projecting off the screen—this fully clothed and melancholy rendition of the city namesake tune is what stuck in my head. i am currently mad at new york, and have been surrounding myself with city related tunes in order to mediate those feelings. not especially a huge carey mulligan fan, but this tear sodden version will be on many playlists for years to come. by sv

Wolf Magik: it never was by alexis blaire
a surprising new track from our friends “alexis blaire”. i heard the track “it never was” once and i downloaded the track from itunes. the album is a bit raw, and that’s great when it works, and it does at least on this track for me, but i’m a bit of a music snob if that says anything. if not, then i also prefer indians to cowboys, so there. by xy
