So, it’s hard to do Hypem Hunting every week. So, we’re probably just going to do it every other week. Is that OK with you? I hope so, because you have no choice. This week the theme is “night”. I hope I haven’t used that one already. I’m actually in a bit of a rush because I just foudn out I won tickets to see Here We Go Magic, and I gots to leave real soon. So, hope this isn’t the worst Hypem Hunting ever. I don’t think it’s bad though. In fact, I think it’s good. Although the commentary on each song is admittedly lacking. So here are some cool songs I found when I searched for “night” on The Hype Machine.
First up is a sorta funky sorta sexy remix of perhaps my favorite track from the 2010 album Before Today by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. The album came out before Ariel Pink started having meltdowns at every show ever. Dam-Funk did some good work playing up all the right parts of “Fright Night” and turned it into something different from the original but equally as enjoyable for me.

This next tune is equally as smooth as the last but with a whole lot more synth. It was posted by our friend Laurent over at Pasta Primavera as part of a little playlist he put together to welcome his new son into the world (congrats!!). It’s a good one. We like it. You will too, maybe.

Now let’s move on to a rock song that’s a bit more straightforward with a lot less special effects. This one is by Chief, a band that I know nothing about, but it appears this song was somewhat popular back in 2010. Hopefully, with my help and yours, it will remain somewhat popular in 2011.

And this seems like an appropriate way to end things. That’s right, I’m talking about “All Night Long” by 80s soul/funk/disco group Mary Jane Girls. It’s a song about knockin’ boots, in case you couldn’t guess. And more specifically, about how the Mary Jane Girls “can’t wait to get started lovin’ you all night long.” Ain’t nothin wrong with that.
