For this playlist I’ve chosen the most exuberant, childlike pastiche pop that I have heard this year. It’s all fun, deliriously evanescent and is almost guaranteed to cheer you up and embed firmly into your brain with its overwhelming chirpiness and dizzying percussions abound. Enjoy.

Haha, great! So this is your guilty pleasure list? ;-)
And i like you, satan.
Reading my mind Bubba? :) Yes, my guilty pleasures of the year list, I have to admit those swedes keep giving the guiltiest pleasures year after year.
Love your blog. The whole range from pop to arty farty never fails to please. This time I think I’m gonna try and follow up with seeing at least Late of the Pier and Frankmusik live in London, so thanks for the tip!

Okay you’ve got me here, these are not even guilty pleasures… I have been listening to this playlist non-stop since you posted it. I love it! Just had to come back and tell you how great it is. I’ve added some more of my own to the list to beef it up a bit:
DJ Shadow - Turf Dancin’
Hot Fuck - Super Inuit (live)
M.I.A. - Come Around
Zero 7 - Destiny (Simian remix)
Scanners - Bombs (Young Americans Terrible Fuss edit)
CSS - Knife (Grizzly Bear cover)
The Go! Team - Patricia’s Moving Picture
I know it’s not your usual style but do more posts like this!
Out of your 7 song recommendations the only one I’ve heard is the Grizzly Bear cover and I love it, I’ll be taking a listen to the rest. I have many guilty pleasures where this came from so expect more of this type of music soon ;)
