Pseudo-Sunshine

Introducing songs like you’re a morning radio host always feels awkward, which is why I hate the whole act. But Marmaduke Duke’s ’Rubber Lover’ actually deserves the mention. The video is terrible—I don’t know what they were thinking—but the song itself is excellent. Bouncy and uplifting in the simplest way, the kind of thing that picks you up. That’s all any song needs to do, really: make you feel better for a few minutes.
