Thanks to the musical ear of a man simply known as Kyle, every week Cuzoogle will feature six songs/videos that you should check out. This week Kyle is liking the sounds of Cornelius, Caribou, Black Kids, Pela, A Place to Bury Strangers and of course his No. 1 pick.

Fast and angry / Slow and sad Edition

6. Cornelius, I know most of you won’t listen to this all the way through, but I am obsessing over lo-fi recordings lately. If I understand correctly, this eclectic Japanese musician also created the video. Give it a chance, anyone who names themselves after a Planet of the Apes character can’t be all bad.

5. Caribou, I know a lot of bands make repeat performances on the Pix, but I’m a simple guy, I likes what I likes. These guys are on tour right now, their live shows are phenomenal and I love this video.

4. Black Kids, Band names are always interesting to me, but this one defies logic. You have to have big pants (as Drew Mac says) to have balls big enough to name your band this. This isn’t the best live recording, but holy crap do they sound like New Order and The Cure. They make me feel 14 all over again.

3. Pela, Another repeat offender on the Pix, these guys just make me happy. On really snowy days it’s nice to have a personal soundtrack in your head.

2. A Place to Bury Strangers, I’m starting to sound like a broken record with repeats here. The footage in this video is from a made for TV movie circa 1980 called “Lathe of Heaven”. It is a truly horrible film, but it looks cool with this music in the background. The movie was remade, poorly, in 2002 and starred Denise Huxtable.

1. The Raveonettes, Fourth repeat of the week, I must be losing my touch. However, I think this duo rocks and half naked girls and coke snorting in the video makes them so bad ass. I apologize for the bad grammar this week, I’m so very tired.
