Simian Mobile Disco has always been a favorite but their latest collaboration effort is like a marathon of partying for my ears. SMD stands out on their own but they've tacked on the names of Beth Ditto, Gruff Rhys, Chris Keating, Jamie Lidell, Alexis Taylor, Young Fathers and Telepathe. Are you kidding me? This is like if Stan Lee put together a group of musical superheroes.

For your pleasure, here are three tracks to get you ready for the weekend (or life as we know it).

First up: The Audacity of Huge

If you head over to Jamie Liddell's myspace page you can stream Off the Map.

The duo's song "Cruel Intentions" featuring Ditto is almost too much for me. It's a slice of heaven I almost want to be greedy about and keep to myself. I would never do that to you though. Enjoy:
