Mew – Introducing Palace Players (Brightcove)
I’ve been a big fan of Mew for several years now, back to Frengers and the more audacious And the Glass Handed Kites.  This new track is pretty representative of the new album, and after seeing them live I can say it definitely doesn’t disappoint.
The video doesn’t make too much [...]

Little Boots – Remedy (Youtube)
I’ve posted about Little Boots before, but I make no apology for doing it again. There’s clearly a movement towards female electronic type musicians this year, as been seen in the rise of artists such as La Roux and Ladyhawke. I’m firmly of the opinion that out of all the crop, [...]

Röyksopp – The Girl And The Robot (Vimeo)
How on earth I didn’t post about this at the time I have no idea. At any rate, here’s a post now of what could be the biggest electronic single so far this year.
It’s a mental song, to be honest. Massive synth on top of massive synth, with [...]

Calvin Harris – Ready For The Weekend (Youtube)
Calvin Harris (his real name is Adam, incidentally) is one of the few celebrities I follow on Twitter, given that his update range from the semi-interesting to the bizarre. For some reason, these recently consist of videos where he asks celebrities to open a jar of jam. The [...]

Patrick Wolf – Hard Times

In: Music Video

15 Jul 2009

I woke up to this track the other day, as it was being played on Shaun Keaveny’s 6 Music breakfast show. There’s definitely something satisfying about waking up to music that no alarm clock can ever match. But that’s another blog entry all together.
There’s something about Patrick Wolf that’s never really appealed to me, which [...]

Spinnerette – Baptized by Fire

In: Music Video

14 Jul 2009

As detailed by Matthew Sheret in his rather marvellous daily blog project type thing three six five start, I’ve never had a lot of respect for The Distillers. That’s not to say that Brody Dalle doesn’t have a fantastic voice, but both live and on CD I was unimpressed by what I heard. The only [...]

Death Cab for Cutie – Little Bribes

In: Music Video

13 Jul 2009

It’s funny really – for me Death Cab have always been one of those bands on the periphery, in that I’ve always been aware of how huge they were over the pond but never really equated that as meaning anything to me. I got Plans when I was living in America, way back in 2005, [...]

VITALIC – Your Disco Song (Dailymotion)
I’ve been a fan of Vitalic since I first heard OK Cowboy, his 2006 album containing more than its fair share of delicious electro tracks. To be honest I hadn’t been keeping up with he’s been doing since then, but this popped up and I knew we were onto [...]

  • The Internet Garbage: I like this! It's really good - definitely a "Saturday morning jam" as you say. And the video is fun [...]
