Labor Day Music Giveaway! Act Now!

Just a quick post with some Labor Day music for you, to enjoy on your long weekend. I gotta get this out fast since it's past 1PM there and I know most of you are leaving work soon (lucky basterds. oh wait, nevermind; I forgot where I was). It's a mix of songs that are this past summer to me. Pete Yorn, Wilco, Deer Tick, and some others to rock your last weekend. Get after it:

The Very Best - Warm Heart of Africa
Real Afro-pop. Yes, the Vampire Weekend guy sings on it too, don't worry.

The Dirty Projectors - Stillness is The Move
A funky, off beat, bop song. Sunset music.

Deer Tick - Straight into a Storm
Throwback 1950's 12-bar rock n' roll that sounds like your buddy's band drunkenly playing outside.

Passion Pit - Seaweed Song
I still don't love these guys, but this song has that endless summer feel.

Wilco - You Never Know
Best song of the summer. Feels like you've known this rock song forever.

Wilco - Sonny Feeling
More nostalgic rock with another Travelling Wilburys-esque solo. But different, and great.

Pete Yorn - Last Summer
As overproduced as Pete will ever sound, but it works. Has a 80's teen movie vibe to it.

Pete Yorn - Rooftop
Blondie loves this song. Makes the summer in NYC seem like you should have stuck around for it instead of going to the goddamn Hamptons.

Pete Yorn (with Scarlett J) - Relator
The fuzzy guitar, upbeat tempo, and sexy/humid lyrics sound like a hot August day.

Brendan Benson - Poised and Ready
Fast Paced and urgent. Drive to it. Fast.

Brendan Benson - Eyes on the Horizon
Elvis Costello meets the Raconteurs.
