If you’ve been following this little site for a while, you may remember my Twee Pop Tuesday segment I had running for about a month. For some reason I got bored with it and scrapped it, but had plans to start some other weekly project.

To give you all a better idea of my tastes (or perhaps lack thereof), each Wednesday I’ll post three unrelated songs that have been staples on my weekly playlist. They may be good or they may be complete crap, but I’ll try to explain why I like them. Either way it gives you more music and lets you know what I’m really listening to. So, let me introduce My Three Songs.

Readymade FC: The Only One [ft. Yael Naim]

Despite the fact that it’s a blistering 7 degrees here, the ground’s covered with snow and ice and my mailbox is frozen shut, it’s been radiating summertime in my apartment, largely thanks to this Readymade FC song. Yael Naim’s vocals are simply exquisite in their breathy lightness, and the plucked guitar is buttery smooth. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a day on the beach, hand in hand with your lover as you explore the seaside together before lounging on the shore with an ice-cold mixed drink.

Air France: Beach Party

Another completely out of place song for the time of year, this one is also bursting with that summertime aura, but has a more chilled out vibe to it. While Air France’s “Beach Party” doesn’t sound anything like Zero 7′s “Destiny,” I have to compare the two for just having that “it” quality. “Beach Party” is like that fantastic tune you hear that you absolutely cannot wait to hear again, and again, and again. Fans of the Avalanches will love this one.

The Good, the Bad & the Queen: Herculean

Damon Albarn’s band Blur never did much for me. His side-project Gorillaz is hit-and-miss. For some reason, though, his latest side-project The Good, the Bad & the Queen I find appealing, especially this song, “Herculean.” It’s a combination of Think Tank‘s moodiness and Gorillaz layered textures. Mostly electronic Britpop in sound, Damon’s deadpan vocals are spot-on as they seem to capture that shimmering bit of hope in the disparity of life.

So there we have it. If you like what you heard, I encourage you to check out more songs by these artists. Google and MySpace are a great place to start.
