Little Stevie Wonder – Fingertips (Part 2)

little-stevie-wonder

“Part 2” is the flipside to the number one 1963 live single “Fingertips,” featuring a young Stevie Wonder and the great Marvin Gaye banging away on the skins. tracked on-the-spot at the Regal Theater in Chicago, this take is improv done right. someone in the band is yelling “what key?” not too mention random licks of ‘marry had a little lamb’. and it still sounds this good! you know something special was going down. take notes.

Arcade Fire – Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

“Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” is previewed from Arcade Fire’s new album The Suburbs, expected August 2 via Merge. word on the streets is that this record has gotten out of its cage… but we say do yourself a kindness, take this track as yet another taste of what’s to come, and get the whole thing once it’s ready. why? well to begin with, not only does it not disappoint as the next chapter in the the musical take of one of the most relevant bands of the last 10 years, but it also comes packing some killer collective artwork (see above). we dig.
