This is a weekly institution i had in mind to start at the end of last year, but i held it off, knowing that i wouldn't have enough time to do it once per week before about now.
I have Bangers from weeks one through to eight for y'alls, in whatever order you want because i kind of forgot the order i put them there... also i'm really sorry that they're in youtube video format - i can't actually get them onto a website to make players and ting cause
a) i don't have an account
b) the internet where i am can't actually upload - don't ask why.

I'm not going to go into a 500 page essay on why i like each artist so much, because chances are if you think like me they'll come to you too through these bangers of the week. this isn't the spot to talk about the artist and their history, this is a place for a tune.
1. Together - The Presets
an Australian electro duo who go particularly hard in this song.
crunchy and distorted but still contains a really strong sense of melody.
also has a nice distinction between each section.
2. No More Violence - PNAU
another australian duo, 2 brothers this time.
this song i really like - i have no idea why, it must be the hard rocker in me coming out. first time i heard it was live at Big Day Out '08 - a good year - and i absolutely loved the energy which came across with this. it really works well too as a mixture between rock guitar sounds and electro-synth strange noises which PNAU are now famous for.
(there's a dumb remix of by the way by red hot chili peppers that comes in at the end of this, cause it's from a stupid mixtape which sucks. there are no other versions other than this or live ones available. sorry again)
3. Lover - PNAU
basically rave done well. more PNAU, kind of shows difference in their style - the two songs here i think are really quite different, and perhaps in later weeks, more PNAU will come by.
i love the peak and drop in this song, the production and timing is essentially perfect.
4. Hold My Hand -UNKLE
good english duo who do so much work with featuring artists that they almost put Gorillaz and N.A.S.A to shame. i love this song, and also another one of theirs called Restless, where Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age sings.
this song builds well and just.. is nice.
5. Anywhere - The Presets
what do i need to say? if you're one of those people that can't find interest in this song, then don't worry. i can understand in a very roundabout, backwards way, how that may happen because the start is very minimal. but seriously. come on.
6. Someone Great - LCD Soundsystem
the best breakup song ever written. if i could do this, i wouldn't need to bother getting together with people. i'd just break up with them over and over again so i could play this song for the girl, just again and again and again.
7. Midnight Request Line - Skream
this started my love for dubstep, what more really needs to be said?
Skream (the artist) also basically started dubstep as we now know and love it.
best listened to in HQ if possible, with headphones or a huge motherfucker of a speaker.
8. Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective
what CAN i say about the animal Collective? they're like nothing you've ever heard before, or will ever hear again (it seems). i only hope that in the weeks/months/years to come, they receive the acclaim and praise that they deserve for what they've done.
this song is incredible, and for those of you who are in love and looking for "our song" i'm sure this would do nicely. just have a listen.
