Welcome to Insult to Injury, the place where the Noisey editors lift their heads up from their keyboards for five fucking minutes to talk about what they’ve been listening to. This week, half of the office is at (and fortunately staying safe at) SXSW and the rest of us are hunched over a desk, typing these dumb words right now. Here’s what those left behind in the New York winter have been listening to. (Also, I think Eric is doing that thing again where he lets Lauren write his entry.)

Josef Salvat – “Every Night”
Someone snuck this track onto my phone with no title which meant I had to google the lyrics to find out who the hell wrote this completely perfect song. It kicks off like “Dojo Rising” by Cloud Control and finishes with mournfully sexy slide guitars like Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” and in the middle Salvat soars like Jeff Buckley, while the harmonies make me want to hear “I Only Have Eyes for You” by The Flamingos in a candlelit room. The fact that this London-via-Sydney singer has brought together all these references, intentional or otherwise, means that I’m now his number one fan. And the lyrics? Well no one can really understand the magnetism that exists between two people. Or as Salvat puts it: “… They don’t get you need the dishes I serve.”

Jim Jones feat. Trey Songz “Summer Wit Miami”
At the start of this week the weather finally reached above freezing for the first time in recent memory, making it the unofficial start of “Canadian Summer,” which takes place after our nation escapes the six month long darkness which envelops us for the annual “Canadark Solstice.” The minute the weather reached thaw status, I started playing this song. Shortly after, we got a snow storm. I’m not saying that these two events are related, but I took the song off my daily playlist this morning and now it’s warm enough to wear shorts. Stay woke.
