Not really sure how long this band have been going but I’ve just stumbled across them and am in love with this track. Kinda fun indie pop on the same vein as Chester French (whatever happened to them?) Check out here.

It’s ok, I don’t feel amazing today either, so here’s a lovely remix by Friends Electric for the eccentric and warm Guillemots to perk you up.

Azealia Banks comes in third on BBC’s Sound of 2012
Huge, huge huge fan of this dirty b****. Only one more day before we find out who will take over the pop charts for the next twelve months! I think we all know who it will be…

Skrillex comes in fourth on BBC Sound of 2012

The Finnish really do the most bizarre music videos
Remember this music video featured a while back with some dancing nuns? Well this clip is by another Finnish pop starlet called Chisu. The song itself is brilliant- I’d love to hear an English version, but the video is in another league and is just very uplifting.
Another day, another way…
Happy new year! Let’s face it, 2011 was kinda pants for most people, but there seems to be a lot of good vibes kicking around for 2012.
So in the spirit of things, I thought I’d start the first post of the year with one of the happiest tracks I know, by Jamie Lidell. It’s not new, but it’s about love and it’s optimistic- and we can never have enough of either of those.
I was up by over 100k hits on Alfitude in 2011 from the previous year, which is a huge, huge jump and one that makes me smile- so thank you for coming here. I really hope your dreams happen this year, because we all deserve it.
I have a couple of ambitions that I would love to see through, but I think 2011’s toughened me enough to not fuss too much if they don’t go through!
What are you doing New Year’s Eve?
500 Days of Summer co-stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt duet on this ridiculously cute rendition of ‘What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve’. Whatever you get up to- have fun!
New Music: Poolside
Uplifting, minimal electropop along the veins of Passion Pit but with that sunny LA vibe kicking in the back. Check out here.
New Music: Marlon Roudette
Party Swedish Style
This has been around for a really long time in Sweden but I notice I’ve never mentioned it on here. Anyway, enjoy the last Friday of 2011!
New Music: Redlight
Continuing with the 90’s theme for today, this is one stomper of a revival track. Azealia Banks should do a take on this. Check out here.
New Music: Woman E
This got me excited when I heard it for the first time. It’s 90’s revival done brilliantly to the point of sending me back to being 13 listening to one of those Smash Hits tapes that came with the magazine. Please love this band! Check out here.
