Mark Ronson's made a few new fans for NYC's The Virgins by spinning this track on his Authentic Shit show recently, and after some reader email we thought we'd share it with ya. Think of it as a disco-fied Strokes cut, ready-written for the next GAP ad campaign.

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy usually focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This time...
