Music Friyay: Hayden Thorpe, Portishead, The Raveonettes

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Hayden Thorpe - “Love Crimes”

This is the new break up song you’ve been waiting for. It’s strangely enjoyable to listen to (aren’t they all, really?) and has an infectious rhythm.

The Raveonettes - “I Wanna Be Adored'“

This 2003 cover of The Stone Roses’ iconic song is just as sexy and alluring.

Portishead - “The Rip”

The band’s 2008 album is a masterpiece and “The Rip” is a song to listen to again and again.
