Keep The Streets Empty For Me

A new Fever Ray video - always great news! Check out the video for Keep The Streets Empty For Me. Fever Ray are re releasing their album. It'll include a DVD with their music videos and a live album, Live At Lulea (a must buy!)

Throwing some music out there...

My music life since April has been so unbelievable rich. I think I've only encountered two music ruts and they have been pretty short. I must thank all the fantastic music blogs, my blip and twitter people and hypem when I'm feeling a bit lazy! And of course it goes without saying - The Musicians!! Much love :)

Here are a list of songs that have been rocking my world - ENJOY!


Chauffeur - Soles on Fire

Even if you're not a fan of rap - how is this not the best thing you've ever heard?! This super group consists of Mark Ronson, Theophilus London, Sam Sparro. You can download this track here. My fingers are crossed that this wasn't a one-time thing. I need more, we all need more!



Florence + The Machine - Flakes (Mystery Jets Cover)

Oh I love a good cover. I'm lucky one of my favourites, Florence + The Machine, provides them! You can download here.




La Roux - Farewell To The Fairground (White Lies Cover)

Another great cover done at BBC Radio 1. Unfortunately it wasn't on the newest Radio 1's Live Lounges album. Luckily we can all get our hands on it here.




Elsiane - Ecclesia

Wow wow wow.. if you like chillout music, their 2007 album Hybrid is a MUST. It was hard picking out what song to post as they are all fantastic. I heard talk of them being back in the studio. Can't wait to hear what's next from this duo out of Montreal. Check out Elsiane on their Myspace and download Mend (To Fix, To Repair)(track #2 on Hybrid) here.




... I could spend the next 5 hours posting more, but life calls!

The Weekend That Kicked My Ass!

Once again.. I'm not the best at timely updates!

Went to Montreal this past weekend and caught three shows. Each one so amazing. Other than wishing they went on for weeks at a time, no complaints! I now plan on attending Pop Montreal annually!

Dragonette - Pick Up The Phone
Fantastic song! Make sure to do a hypem search on them to get the remixes - fantastic! Liar is my favourite as of right now!




Next we have the phenomenal Fever Ray. Here is the video for Seven. Another song with some good remixes. My personal fave is the CSS remix.


Fever Ray 'Seven'

Fever Ray | MySpace Music Videos

And last but certainly NOT least, Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees. While there are no music videos, take a listen to Danse Danse Resolution. RBATTB debut album is fabulous. They also put on a live show like you wouldn't believe.





If I was rich I'd buy everyone tickets to all those shows... but I'm not :)

Hey You!

Love this song from France's Pony Pony Run Run! I have played it daily for over 2 months so I'm long overdue posting this video!

Florence & The Machine - Drumming Song

Oh.. I cannot stop watching this! New video from Florence & The Machine. I enjoy it much more than her past videos! The Drumming Song single is out Sept 7th and hopefully the 8th for the rest of us!

Florence + The Machine - Drumming Song

More Jenny!

Jenny Wilson just released an EP for Like A Fading Rainbow. This was such a pleasant surprise because I had no idea there would be more remixes other then the OK Franklin remix, which gets me through cardio at the gym with no problem!

Here is Jenny Wilson's video for Like A Fading Rainbow (Van Rivers Rock Remix). This is my favourite out of the 3 remixes on the EP. You can listen to the remixes on Jenny's myspace page.

Love Love Love This!

Jenny Wilson Like A Fading Rainbow

Oh, love this video! Love the blue hat! I would love to meet Jenny Wilson, she seems so interesting! Hardships! is a fantastic album! Highlights are String of Grass, Anchor Made of Gold, The Wooden Chair, Like a Fading Rainbow... the list goes on :)


Like A Fading Rainbow

La Roux

I am loving La Roux. Heard a few remixes of the song before, care of all the great music lovers on blip.fm. Looking forward to the remixes being released! Check out all the remixes for In For The Kill and Quicksand. Genius!

Bulletproof

The Knife

I'm on a big Karin Dreijer Andersson kick lately .. (well.. the last 4 years)

The Knife released a Live DVD two years ago.. brilliant! I recommend buying any releases The Knife put out! The Live show was quite interesting; wish I could have been there! I just need to get to Sweden :)



Kino


Heartbeats


Silent Shout - A Masterpiece!


You Make Me Like Charity

Royksopp... What Else Is There???

I owe a lot to this song! I was up late watching The Wedge on MuchMusic and this video came on. Instantly hooked!! I had to find out who the singer was! I am still thankful to this day that I caught that show! High Five to Karin Dreijer Andersson and Royksopp!!



What Else Is There


This Must Be It

This Must Be It

Röyksopp | MySpace Music Videos

A little Cheat...

So.. I really wanted to play Annie's Me Plus One, but there is no official video. I found the song to the video of Chewing Gum (song definitely not as good as Me Plus One!)

Miss Li!

Miss Li is another great singer to come out of Sweden. What is in the water there??






Here's a live version of Let Her Go


I Heard Of A Girl

Fever Ray!

Oh.. the one Girl I can't stop talking about! I posted about Fever Ray back in March but need to revisit this!

I have tickets to the Montreal concert Oct 1st and looking forward to it. Been reading reviews on the live show and it's definitely my most anticipated concert ever.
Here are a few videos. First one is If I Had A Heart. I like it halfway through when Karin Dreijer Andersson turns off the voice vocoder and her voice comes out!



Triangle Walks


Coconut - not an official video, but love the song!


When I Grow Up ... already posted this.. but it doesn't hurt to show again!

Hurricane Chris - Halle Berry (She's Fine)

To Mike:

I will learn this dance!



Hurricane Chris - Halle Berry (She's Fine) Feat. Superstarr (Official Music Video) - Funny video clips are a click away

Robyn - With Every Heartbeat

I have posted this video before, but I was very fortunate to have someone send me the mp3 version of this song! Back in September Robyn took part in a concert to bring awareness to UNICEF's programs worldwide.
Robyn + Orchestra = Greatness!

Can't stop my inner teenager!

My inner teenager is coming out and I can't stop it!! I had known about Paramore for a while, but never gave it a shot! My friends and I were playing a music game and a friend chose this video to play. I was instantly hooked!

I was NOT into this song at first and now I can't get enough. Remixes are out for this song at the end of May/beginning of June. Not sure if I can wait!

Susanne Sundfør

Wow wow wow. This Girls voice is Fierce!!

Susanne Sundfør has a great album that everyone should own! Her voice gives me shivers everytime!

Susanne is set to release a new album fall 2009!! This is definitely one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 for me!



Here is a cover of Bob Dylans Masters Of War.

Tina Dico is helping out on vocals and the dancing!



Here is the video for Somersault. I wish it was better quality. It was always one of my favourites. I just love this band!

My Brightest Diamond

I am in LOVE with this band!! I'm not sure why I am only discovering them now. My Brightest Diamonds singer, Shara Worden sang on The Decemberists new album. Once I heard that voice I needed to find more! My Brightest Diamond has two albums and a remix album.

Here's a song Jenny Wilson did with Robyn. They covered Saul William's List Of Demands

Happy Holidays :)
I love this song! Someone had asked me who sang the song from the newest Apple Ad and I didn't know, so I looked into it. It was Chairlift and I decided to check out their album and took an instant liking to the song below!



Here is Bruises, the song in the Apple ad.
