For newcomers:

1. When you click on the download link, your computer will ask where you'd like to save the zip file. One easy way to do this is to save it directly to your desktop.

2. Copy the zip file to your iTunes directory, usually My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. Use Winzip (www.winzip.com) to unzip your folder in this new file location. There should now be a new folder in the iTunes music directory. (Mac Users: zip file will automatically unzip into folder upon download)

3. Open iTunes on your computer, and choose the option "Add Folder To Library" from the File menu. From the pop-up, browse to the folder that you just created in the My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes music directory. Click OK.

4. Your download is now part of your iTunes library and you can copy the music to your iPod as you normally would.

THE KING OF LIMBS!!!!

The List # 16

I was raised up believing
I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
Unique in each way you can see

And now after some thinking
I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery
Serving something beyond me

But I don't, I don't know what that will be
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

Feelin' this...

Cut Copy - Where I'm Going

Dan Whitford clues you in to exactly what's going to happen with the title of this preview track off of Cut Copy's upcoming album. Prepare to be taken somewhere new, because where Whitford and company are going isn't exactly familiar territory for avid listeners of the Melbourne-based electro-pop group.

Not to say the track is a complete 180º for the band. The influences are pretty clear (psych-folkers like neighbors Tame Impala and, of course, Animal Collective and Ariel Pink come to mind) and the sound seems a logical next step for the boys ("So Haunted", from 2008's In Ghost Colours hinted at their psychedelic aspirations).

That said, "Where I'm Going" is a delightful pop tune perfect for summertime lounging. Positive vibes abound and a pulsing beat propels the energy forward into a trippy breakdown for an altogether joyful ride. Download here.
