Charlie How Your Angels Get Down Like That

18 Better Spins tracks for the squad this week:

  • Smash Mouth – All Star (Breathe Carolina remix). Apparently Better Spins readers love Aramaic translations, why not offer another take on this old classic?
  • Theophilus London – Pretty (ft. Ian Isiah). It’s no Last Name London, but this track is poppin’.
  • Hercules & Love Affair – Raise Me Up. Super trippy.
  • Cosmic Sense – Midnight. That feeling of driving along a dirt road at night, wind blowing through your hair as you contemplate our place in this vast, expanding universe.
  • Ouzo Bazooka – Space Camel. This is all over the place, at times I get The Doors and Zeppelin, other times I get Irish vibes somehow crossed with Egyptian. What do you hear?

Honorable Mentions

  • Destiny’s Child – Independent Woman Pt. I. Rewatched my original Charlie’s Angels (with Lucy, Cameron, and Drew), which surprisingly aged pretty well considering such a heavy emphasis on sex appeal.
  • Flamingosis, Yung Bae – Groovin’. You couldn’t pick a better title for this track.
  • Opia – Four Winds. How often do you get an electronic group that formed at Yale? Lucky for me, I have friends like San Fran always looking out
