New Music: Rich Kid Sound System

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.

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!
