Which song do you listen to when...
you try to stay up for more than 24 hours?
Sisters Of Mercy - Amphetamine Logic
you come home from the club?
Mancingelani - Vana Vasesi
you take a bubble bath?
Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place
Love bubble baths and that song. It's Ost's signature song when he does un-techno DJ sets.
you ride a bicycle?
Mouse On Mars - Kanu
Their «Iaora Tahiti» album has such a positive vibe and is also filled with so much detail. Like a chaotic candy store. Ride a bike and listen to electronic music, the world becomes another place.
you camp in the desert?
Animal Collective - Moo Rah Rah Rain
When these guys turned up it was like a small revolution. You think you have music sorted out, then... Wow!
you prepare a candle light dinner?
Nina Simone
Any track. It's probably a cliché, but anything she ever touched is just pure gold in our ears.
you go to a club?
Zinja Hlungwani - N'Wagezani
Oh my GOD!!! Shangaan is the freshest music I've heard in ages. This is the Cheese and Biscuit summer sound track.
you cook?
Ost & Kjex - Cajun Lunch
Nobody denies that food has life.
you run naked through a cornfield?
Kate Bush - Cloudbusting
This song was popular when we were young. Was kind of afraid of it, but loved it still the same. The beautiful hills in the video makes us thinking about running naked in nature.
you prepare for an important date?
CJ Gee - Don't Want No Short Dick Man
Praying for a real wiener.
you want to disturb your neighbours?
Don Johnson - Heartbeat
If we really don't like them.
you drive a car late at night?
LFO - Shove Piggy Shove
The album «Advance» is the perfect soundtrack for riding a car. It's so forward in a way.
you fall asleep?
Carcass - Reek Of Putrefaction
We actually used to fall asleep to this when we were younger. Could listen to it anytime. Still can.
you are love sick?
Eurythmics - Take Me To Your Heart
«Take me to your heart, time after time I try to contact you, time after time I try to talk to you, but you don't take me to your heart. When I'm alone I think you're near me, it's good to pretend that you're with me. Why don't you take me to your heart?»
you make love?
Steely Dan - Do It Again
you paint your apartment?
Motörhead - Eat The Rich
Need some energy and this is hungry.
you jump out of a plane with a parachute?
Christian Death - Deathwish
Not really my favorite Christian Death song, but the title matches. It's such a weird band, with Valor on vocals. One of them did some good records back in the days. We had a goth period in our teens.
you sit in a plane?
Dr. John - Angola Anthem
Just had to fit a song by the good doctor in here. His three first albums are major soundtracks to our lives.
you are in the sauna?
Pan Sonic - Urania
I read in an interview long ago that they locked themselves into a room for god knows how many hours and undertook something they called a sonic endurance test. With this low frequency bass hum going constantly. Go to Finland everybody. They are cool!!
you go to a soundsystem?
Seth Troxler & Gadi Mizrahi - Herlin
What a sexy song, never get tired of it. Also sounds great.
you have to spend a night in a spooky hotel?
Cornelis Vreeswijk - Brev Från Kolonien
Cornelius is a much loved deceased Swedish/Dutch singer/songwriter that makes up the musical DNA of many Scandinavians. His songs always make us feel warm and safe.
you sit in the subway?
Monolake - Infinite Snow
His new album «Silence» is one of his finest in a long time. A piece of sound art and great for subway rides.
you wake up?
Antonio Carlos Jobim - Só Danço Samba
Just remember to start with the right foot.
you walk in the rain?
Oran Juice Jones - The Rain
«I saw you and him walking in the rain, you were holding hands and I will never feel the same...»
