Use Your Ears: Monthly Mix - June

Here's what I was listening to in June.  Listen on Spotify here (hopefully it works!  You need an invitation to join.)

1	Peter Gabriel	Heroes	Scratch My Back	Song, and album, of the month.
2	Lily Allen	LDN	Single
3	Nicky Minaj & Drake	Moment 4 Life	Pink Friday	I resent how deeply this song has been drilled into my brain and hate Drake's self-aggrandizing, borderline-misogynist rant in the middle of it, but secretly love that Minaj compares herself to a vampire slayer AND King David in the same verse.
4	P!nk	Raise Your Glass	Single	Surely 2011's #1 prom theme.
5	La Roux	Bulletproof (Manhattan Clique Remix Radio)	Bulletproof (Remixes)
6	John Lennon	God	Plastic Ono Band	God is a concept / by which we measure our pain
7	Brian Eno	Third Uncle	Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy
8	Architecture in Helsinki	W.O.W.	Moment Bends	Saw AiH at the Black Cat this month.
9	Architecture in Helsinki	Escapee	Moment Bends	AiH frontman Cameron Bird reminds me of Dr. Janosz Poha in Ghostbusters II.
10	Jonathan Richman	When We Refuse to Suffer	Because Her Beauty is Raw and Wild	Your life becomes a bore, and you're sufferin' even more. Good reminder from Mr. Richman.
11	Architecture in Helsinki	Sleep Talkin'	Moment Bends	Did I mention that I like Architecture in Helsinki?  I’m not sure if I mentioned that.
12	Elvis Presley	Burnin' Love	Elvis 75	Lordy lordy, Elvis lights my morning sky.
13	Peter Gabriel	The  Book of Love	Scratch My Back
