Festive Ten 2009

In: Music Video

28 Dec 2009

2009 has been a particularly fine year for music, and while I’d like to think that I set up Bitter Fingers in order to capitalise on that, it just happened. But my word, am I glad it did. We’ve had the return of breezy electro, energising pop, a phalanx of female singers plus the odd [...]

Sia – You’ve Changed

Sia – You’ve Changed (Youtube)
Just a quick update today, given that it’s Boxing Day and I’ve got an awful lot of drinking to catch up with.
Here’s the new track from Sia, probably best known for that one song she did with Four Tet a few years back. It was good, but this one is better.
There’s [...]

Miike Snow – Silvia

Miike Snow – Silvia (Youtube)
Miike Snow’s eponymous debut album has been one of the slow burning highlights of 2009, in my opinion. I grabbed the album some time ago on the strength of the single Black and Blue, but every time I’ve gone back to the album I’ve been rewarded with something different.
The hurdy-gurdy stomp [...]

I Blame Coco featuring Robyn – Caesar

I Blame Coco featuring Robyn – Caesar (Youtube)
Apologies for a lack of updates lately, people – I’ve started a new job and been doing stuff and other associated blah blah blah. But you don’t need to worry about that, because here’s a brand new track for you to get your collective faces around.
Most of the [...]

Familjen – Det Snurrar I Min Skalle

Familjen – Det snurrar i min skalle (Youtube)
Bit of a departure here – this isn’t technically a new song at all. And I mean really not at all, because it came out in 2007. However, it is new to me, and essentially that allows me to justify it. And plus, you guys get to hear [...]

Pyramiddd – Medicine

Pyramiddd – Medicine (Youtube)
My previously immaculate electro chops appear to be dropping, because this track originally dropped in April. I mean, I like a bath every now and then, but that’s just ridiculous. Fortunately I’ve managed to get my ears around it now though, given that it’s a rare treat this late in the year.

Marina and the Diamonds – Hollywood

Marina and the Diamonds – Hollywood (Youtube)
After perhaps one of the finest pop tracks of the year in Mowgli’s Road, I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting this track from Marina and the Diamonds.
It’s not as immediately catchy as its predecessor, but stay with it – the heart of a pop superstar is beating very [...]

Silversun Pickups – Substitution

Silversun Pickups – Substitution (Youtube)
This isn’t the first time I’ve written about Silversun Pickups, oh no. Way back in May I gave their then single Panic Switch a tasty little write up. Interestingly enough, after i got into the album then I’d pretty much left it alone. Until now!
Substitution is the new single, and it’s [...]
