Massive Attack “Paradise Circus”
From Heligoland, which released earlier this year & made #20 on my Top Albums of 2010 So Far list. Posting today because I overplay it just as often now as I did when the album first dropped; perhaps my favorite track of the year thus far, even.

This is also my favorite song from this year as well. I wanted this song to my song of the summer, and what a great summer that would’ve been, but instead “Paradise Circus” became, if not the song I most identified with in some sad way over the summer, than certainly the song I probably listened to the most.
And what I started to realize that, the universe started throwing it in my face. First, it’s used in an episode True Blood. Then, as I’m laying in bed watching the first episode of Idris Elba’s Luther, well, of course “Paradise Circus” had to be the theme song. Of course. And then: this on tumblr.
But that’s okay. It’s a great song. I can’t be shocked that it gets around or is found by people with good taste.
