OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Tristesse Contemporaine, "I Didn't Know"

Tuna Day stalwart Joe in Brooklyn points us to this fan-made video for some serious French electro-melancholy... I guess? Thanks, Joe.

Todd Terje, "Inspector Norse"

I'll give you all three guesses as to who requested this one, and the first two don't count.  Give up?  OK.  Here's a clue... it sounds like Rice Q-berts.  Dancing and bowling = the editor can tolerate electronica.

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Tanlines, "All of Me"

Thanks to Jessica for a breath of fresh air on Tuna Day.  You know what they say... a little clapping never leaves anyone unhappy.  At least they should say that.  I love the little dance hops and the waddling by the bleak folks under fluorescent lights.  Also, bonus points for recommending a Brooklyn band.  Enjoy!

N.A.S.A., "Gifted" (f. Kanye West, Santigold & Lykke Li)

Perhaps Monday is too early for something like this.  Perhaps not.  Prepare to be taken away.

"Hey, that reminds me of..." SATURDAY: The xx, "Islands"

We've got our Open Request Sunday, and we just wrapped up a month of cover songs.  Now--just when you thought the Tuna Supercommittee couldn't introduce any more gimmicks--may we present a weekly (?) dose of songs that kind of remind us of other songs.  The inaugural selection comes from the Londoners of The xx, whose "Islands" makes us imagine what would result if "Tape Song" and "L.E.S. Artistes" had a baby, then slipped it some Ritalin.  Enjoy!

Sleigh Bells, "Infinity Guitars"

Mieve Stelke, formerly of Brooklyn, gave this inscrutable take on "Infinity Guitars": "Gritty…. Makes me want to artfully arrange some Hors d'oeuvres." If you agree, you must be drinking the same water... or hosting a cocktail reception in the city.
