“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Australia’s Wally De Backer a/k/a Gotye is one of those just wall-to-wall great songs. From the construction, to the melodies, chrouses to verse; great harmonies, great lyrics, “Somebody That I Used To Know” executes amazingly well on all that and more. This is serious music. “Somebody” is not the sort of song you fuck with or take lightly. See what we mean below.

Cole World is due Sept. 27.

Tourmates collide on this Mayer Hawthorne cover of Chromeo’s “When the Night Falls”. For the cover, Mr. Hawthorne enlists a beat that could double for Steely Dan’s “Do It Again” and laces it up with all the cool dad music trappings one could ever want. Ever wanted to feel hard on a fresh King Harvest or Looking Glass vibe? Look no further, friend and give Mayer’s “When the Night Falls” a spin.
