Why hello - Fancy meeting you here.

Either you’re a loyal fan (in which case you’re literally the best human being to ever have existed. Fact) or you’ve stumbled through an Internet wormhole, finding yourself perplexed and slightly flushed by the sheer awesomeness of the Quirk Weekend Music Mix.

By now the cat is totally out of the bag. Multi-award winning, talented and wonderful Bloc Party will be headlining Rocking the Daisies 2012. Yes, it’s true. Feel free to drink some sugar water.

Now kick-back, slip on those headphones and cruise through some of the best beats and melodies to be shared in the Quirk playpen this week. 

Tame Impala – Lonerism (album trailer)

Shared by Ben Brouckaert

Let’s get the elephant out of the room – these guys are Australian. Right, moving on. Check out this predictably trippy trailer for psychedelic mindbenders Tame Impala’s second album. Lonerism. And because we’re such fans, listen to a track off their critically acclaimed debut album too.

Death Grips - Double Helix

Shared by Jason Warner

Noise rap trio Death Grips bring us yet another jarring, aesthetically “different” music video, this time filmed entirely through the rear-camera of a Toyota Prius. Yip.

Dirty Projectors - Dance for You

Shared by Jason Warner

From noise rap to chilled rock. Listen to experimental indie band Dirty Projector’s sugar sweet Dance for You off their upcoming album, Swing Lo Magellan.

Bloc Party – The Prayer

Come on, don’t look so surprised. How could we not end this week’s Quirk Weekend Music Mix with a Bloc Party track? Now go ahead, psyche yourself up for what’s sure to be another epic Rocking the Daisies festival.

We hope you enjoyed this week’s Quirk Weekend Music Mix. Because we’re all about sharing, we’d like to know what you are listening to. So go ahead, make our day.
