-Couldn’t find a link for “Pulleys”, unfortunately. Too bad: AC’s new album has been unfairly lambasted for not topping Merriweather Post Pavilion, but I think it’s still pretty great.
-Almost made it this season: “Lion” by Four Tet; “Flaggin a Ride” by Divine Fits; “Pyramids” by Frank Ocean; “Rhiannon” by Fleetwood Mac (I dunno, too on the nose?); about sixteen other Talking Heads songs, seriously, I listened to so much of them this season
