Greenskeepers – Vagabond

If you’re at all familiar with Grand Theft Auto IV (i.e. the commercial), you may have heard a bombastic bass line with the lyrics “I came a long way to see you / now I wish you were dead”.  Put aside the dark imagery, because this song was made for GTA IV and essentially sums up the plot line of the video game.  Niko, a Serbian, is convinced by his brother to come to America for unfathomable riches and women.  Niko soon finds out that it was all a lie and that he is a pawn in his brother’s schemes in America.   And so, Chicago natives Greenskeepers aptly sing “another lookout for the amber waves of grain / green lady moved away and changed her name”.  Really wonderful song, through and through.

Purchase Greenskeepers’ most recent album Polo Club.  See CSV’s review here.

The Rapture + Timbaland = Sexy

Or is it not sexy? The Rapture (whose Pieces of the People We Love is a CSV favorite) and Timbaland (who needs no parenthetical explanation) have joined up to put together a new single “No Sex for Ben”. This track is really just a wonderful amalgamation of styles – the disciplined creative recklessness of Timbaland combined with the unbridled dance-infused rock that has basically become The Rapture’s signature style.

Enjoy.
