Boss In Drama – I Don’t Want Money Tonight
In: Music Video| New Music
28 Aug 2011Here’s a thing that’s good – despite looking a bit like a robot butler, Boss In Drama is capable of delivering a rather enjoyable disco-pop jam. I haven’t got anything against robot butlers you understand – it’s just they’re not typically known for their funk-infused melodies and toe-tapping beats. First time for everything, I suppose.
If [...]

VHS or Beta – Breaking Bones
In: Music Video| New Music
27 Aug 2011It takes a certain amount of gall to put together an indie-dance track that sounds a bit like both Let Me Be Your Fantasy by Baby D and Show Me Love by Robin S, but VHS or Beta have done just that. And good on them for trying.
I mean, it’s not quite as good as [...]

Or is it Ladyhawke?
Well I think we can determine that if you call your song Magic chances are it’s going to be amazing.

The new Marina and the Diamonds: it’s good news for people who like a donk on it
In: Music Video| New Music
22 Aug 2011It was only a few short weeks ago that I received an email regarding some new material from Marina & The Diamonds. Regular readers of this blog will be aware that I am a bit of a fan of Marina so this was an excellent email for me to get. The track contained inside was [...]
Bearsuit – Princess, You’re A Test
In: Music Video| New Music
19 Aug 2011I listened to about five thousand promo CDs today and this was the only one I really liked, and that means it had to get past my rigourous “am i impressed after five seconds” test.
They’ve mainly got an exceptionally mucky bass sound to thank for that, plus the sparseness of the sound and the fact [...]

Joan As Police Woman – Chemmie
In: Music Video| New Music
23 Jul 2011Joan As Police Woman – Chemmie (Youtube)
Here’s a mellow jam for a Saturday morning from Joan As Police Woman. It’s very good.
The video has something to do with an disgruntled sports team and a man that looks like a werewolf, but never mind that because we’re looking about a very good song here.
Some blurb:
In Joan’s [...]

16 Jul 2011Who would win a fight between The King Of Rock And Roll and The King Of Wishful Thinking?

Givers – Up Up Up
In: Music Video| New Music
28 Jun 2011Givers – Up Up Up (Youtube)
Who likes Paul Simon? Well, I do. Quite a lot actually, on account of how he’s made lots of good songs. But apart from me, who else likes him? Vampire Weekend too, I suppose. Anyway that’s besides the point because Givers do, that’s who, and you might be able to [...]

Metronomy – The Bay
In: Music Video| New Music
13 Jun 2011Metronomy – The Bay (Youtube)
Metronomy have put out another single! And it’s very good. The video they have made to accompany it is also very good. These two events have combined, celestial-like, to form a blog post written by the hand of yours truly. Bet Galileo didn’t see that one coming.
As befitting the latest single [...]

Swimming – Mining For Diamonds
In: Music Video| New Music
13 Jun 2011Swimming – Mining For Diamonds (Vimeo)
In a further instalment of Bands Mark Quite Likes, here’s a new video from the wonderful Swimming. They’re a hot new popular beat combo coming out of Nottingham, which is also home to a few of my other favourite things such as trams and Tom Whalley.
They’ve only gone and done [...]
