Guest Top 5 Songs of the Week: Stone from The Couch Sessions (www.TheCouchSessions.com)

This week's guest Top 5 features Stone from the DC-based music blog The Couch Sessions!

If you haven't been to his site, you're missing out - we've been highlighting content from The Couch Sessions regularly since we started, and for good reason! Stone has his fingers on the pulse of great new music, and he's been a consistent resource for some of our team's Top 5 picks, including: 

• Electric Wire Hustle (listed below and yesterday),
• MSTRKRFT feat. John Legend “HEARTBREAKER”, 
• Matt & Kim "Daylight (Stic Man Ra Remix)", and 
• The Noisettes - “When You Were Young” (Killers Cover).

Stone has picked the best of the best of this week, and has added his own in a new La Roux remix by DC produce Nacey... Thank you Stone! 

1. La Roux, "Bulletproof" (Nacey Remix) (video) (Stone: Nacey is one of my favorite producers in my city of DC right now, and I love the way that he completely flips La Roux's "Bulletproof," slowing down the tempo and adding live strings from fellow DC artist Matt Hemerlein.)
2. Electric Wire Hustle, "Chaser" (Stream/MP3) (Stone: Electric Wire Hustle has some of the most soulful vocals that I've heard this year, and maybe this decade. Lead singer Mara TK's lyrics are dripped in sweet soul harking back to the sounds of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder.; Ant: The Couch keeps it funky, this joint is MADNESS)
3. Mayer Hawthorne, "Green Eyed Love" (Classixx Remix) (Stream/MP3)(Stone: After seeing Mayer this past weekend I've become a huge fan of his vintage sound. I love how the Classixx production team was able to strip out the that 60s vibe of the original record and flip it to an 80s new wave track; Ant: Dope mellow edit of my favorite song on the album by the A-Side worldwide fam)
4. Daniel Merriweather, Impossible (Video) (Stone: Mr. Merriweather continues to bring it with "Impossible." Mark Ronson's signature sound is all over this track and it should've charted much higher than it did in the UK.; Ant: Anthony Mandler never lets me down)
5. Florence and The Machine, You Got The Love (The xx Remix) (Stream/MP3) (Stone: The xx didn't just make typical remix, but instead created a deep soulful cover of the original in their own style. Amazing.; Ant: MY favorite song right now....seriously)
