Belinda May by Ennio Morricone

No summer warm-up mix in New York would be complete without dancehall, and one of Jamaica's leading emcees keeps it appropriately daggering-friendly with "Better Can Wuk."

Better Can Wuk (Raw) by Vybz Kartel

It's no surprise that the 1994 "Gold Soundz" would be included on the recent Best of Pavement album, Quarantine the Past. The stream-of-consciousness lyrics, broken only to alert the band of the coming chorus, are a big part of what makes the band's entire catalog so compelling—but it's the surprisingly understated instrumental section that always does me in. A smattering of guitars rise and fall with graceful ambiguity, blooming in the middle in a fit of unexpected ecstasy only to collapse drunk on the floor. Beautiful.

An offshoot of Brooklyn's Nuclear Family (and friends of CH), the Junk Science duo's laid-back, lyrically amusing track (from their new album A Miraculous Kind Of Machine) comes with an equally humorous John and Yoko-inspired video.
