This isn't normally my kinda thing, but some upbeat Robert Smith on a dreary Friday seemed like a good idea. The band is Lightsout , a Brooklyn indie duo who formed over a mutual love of The Cure front man and Emily Haines from Metric, not a bad launchpad really. This track has managed to fill me with some fuzzy bubblegum - I will admit that this sounds more like The Killers from their first album era covering 80s Springsteen than The Cure, but that is awesome too. Anyway, check it out - I reckon it does the trick. Lightsout - Push (The ...

Metric just dropped a new tune for us all to enjoy that is so silky smooth it actually sounds as if the audio was purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. "Speed The Collapse" is the second single released by Metric on their forthcoming album Synthetica , and if this one doesn't get you excited for the new album, I'm not sure what will.
