DEAF takes place once again next week and this year sees its most accessible and interesting line-up. There are a host of promoters involved from !Kaboogie to Choice Cuts to Note to Foggy Notions to Maximum Joy to Nightflight and on and on. A real all-inclusive list. One of those promoters, Forever Presents has kindly gifted me FOUR pairs for each of the following shows:

Trans Am plus guests Prostitute, Oct 24, The Village

M83 plus guests Channel One and The Domino State, Oct 24, Vicar St.

All you’ve got to do is leave a comment with the title (and link if possible) to a song you can’t stop playing and why. Do tell which show you’d prefer also. Comment lines closed on the 21st October.

Trans Am – Climbing Up The Ladder

Trans Am – North East Rising Sun

    Times New Viking vs Yo La Tengo

    The 2nd last song off TNV’s rip it off, a no frills blast of scuzzy fun in anticipation of tonight’s gig – shame it looks like TNV will be first on but it should still be a deadly night: http://hypem.com/track/578116/Times+New+Viking-Times+New+Viking+Vs.+Yo+La+Tengo

    That or anything by Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve, Erol Alkans 60’s psych throwback…

    Buttons – by Sia off her new album….

    Mainly cos it was the interesting opening song of her gig the other night (loving the flouro outfits!), but also cos its just really catchy. And it reminds me of it being the weekend :-)

    M83 please….

    Robert Wyatt & Bertrand Bergalat – This Summer Night

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmH3_TbfHaA

    …maybe its the sense of longing for the lack of summer we had – but can’t shake this song at the moment.

    M83!!

    We Carry On, track 6 on Portishead’s last album. Amazing pounding sci-fi rock, best track on their best album imho!
    Trans AM would be groovey!!

    Boards of Canada “Dayvan Cowboy” on account of its absolute jaw-dropping awesomeness.

    Paul Newman passed away recently, I watched ‘Cool hand Luke’, he plays this little timeless folk song.

    ‘Left For Dead’
    By Hunter-Gatherer
    A fine track from the Dublin-based electronica artist. Each new layer is so subtly introduced and lovely. Plus you can’t beat a rolling thunder intro.

    M83 would be great, thanks

    At the moment it’s Cut Copy – Out There On The Ice. It makes dance whilst sitting down on the train to college. This gets me funny looks. The people man, they just don’t understand

    Unless a helicopter can be organised I’m not in the running for tickets but for what it’s worth I’m all about Jokers “Gully Brook Lane” just now.

    an amazing g-funk influenced zombie monster of a track.

    well, the obvious choice is everyone’s flavour of the month right now – ’sleepyhead’ by passion pit. but at this time of night it’s hard to beat lee “scratch” perry’s ‘hold of death’. m83 would be sweet thanks.

    Joe lean and the jing jang jong, ‘Where do you go’. One of the best most uplifting intros I’ve heard in a long time.

    I’d be more than happy with either gig, I is easily pleased.
