I wanna be adored, The Stone Roses

Those were the times, and those were we.

Burnt, Kiasmos

Let this week burn itself away while we transcend into a new and better self: our weekend persona.

Dry the Rain, The Beta Band

"If there's something inside that you wanna say, say it out loud, it'll be okay"

Svefn-g-englar, Sigur Rós

Out of the amazing tunes they built when they were good (back in the 2000s), it is really hard to pick just one. So this one features here, but it could have easily been any other one.

Love and Other Planets, Adem

The gravity of feelings and emotions expressed in its most subtle and charming way...

Lay Your Head Down, Keren Ann

Soothing our way into this cold January Monday...

Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Locked somewhere in the middle of Russia, one of the strangest, yet übercool, party takes place with Nick Cave as the chair of the event, and renowned guests like Jarvis Cocker or Jason Donovan dancing feverishly to the rhythm of this ecstatic song. Great video for a greater song.

Bachelorette, Björk

Whilst examining the hidden places within her new album, Vulnicura, let's not forget she gave us heartbreaking songs like this one.

Move On, Lali Puna

Regardless of what they want us to believe, "things move on", and so do we.

Circassian, Fennesz

There are still no words to describe the overwhelming emotional power of this track. Thus, let the music talk!

You Burn, I break horses

There is an enigmatic, even mischievous, tone underlying the sweet voice and the naïve melodies. And that's what makes this track an interesting song.

The Quotidian Beasts, Phosphorescent

Open Eye Signal, John Hopkins

Eight minutes of bliss closely linked to The Chemical Brothers' Guitar Star sound.

Bodies, The Smashing Pumpkins

"Love is suicide"

Common People, Pulp

There was a time when we were all Different Class...

Peaceable Child, Inventions

From the collaboration between Mark Smith (Explosions in the Sky) and Matthew Cooper (Eluvium),  the perfect way to smooth the Friday away.

Requiem, Go-qualia

The chiming music box brings us memories from our childhood combined with the recollection of the beauty springing from the Amina songs. And then, the celebratory, euphoric voice comes in and nothing will ever be the same...

Tou Mei, Madegg

The young, yet extremely talented Komatsu Kazumichi (1992):

Continental Shelf, Viet Cong

Joy Division and The Stone Roses come immediately to mind on this great song by Viet Cong.

Nova, Four Tet + Burial

As a general rule, the combination of two great creative minds, will produce a greater product. This is obviously not an exception. The deep, dark yet mermaid-like voices of Burial blend perfectly with the optimistic beats of Four Tet and we feel that there can be light on the other side of the tunnel.

Sue's Last Ride, Dirty Three

Warren Ellis' violin conveying feral emotions and sweet melancholy from back in 1996, the same year he began to collaborate with Nick Cave.

Landlocked Blues, Bright Eyes

"I found a liquid cure for my landlocked blues..."

Friday I'm in Love, The Cure

"I don't care if Monday's blue..." Another feel-good anthem from the 1990s.

The Circus is leaving Town, Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan

From the 2006 album Ballad of the Broken Seas, Lanegan's voice at its deeper and best to bring us this low americana song full of memories and nostalgic recollections.

My name is pony, Arbol

Out from their brilliant album She read the wrong Book (Spa.RK 2012), one of their finest songs.

Vital, Grouper

Sometimes, you feel there's still hope for emotion in music. Vital is the perfect combination of sweet melancholy and tender, fragile, vitality. A depiction of pure beauty.

Calx, LCC

Experimental sounds from their new album D/evolution.

One too many mornings, The Chemical Brothers

The 1995 dawn anthem by The Chemical Brothers. After a long night partying, let the music soothe your pains away.

Soft Focus, Miners

The reverberating excellences of shoegazing.

Civil War Correspondent, PJ Harvey

"I shout but he don't hear"
19 years later, it still is one hell of a song.

Carissa, Sun Kil Moon

"Carissa was 35. You don't just raise two kids then take your trash out and die"
