David Holmes - I Heard Wonders

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwCBDF4robA

More indierock than electronica, David Holmes is back with a very cool single called I Heard Wonders. Droning guitars, swirling keyboards. Definately alittle different. Great track.

Neon Glitter Bliss Wilted Flower

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9fD5Q2J6cQ

Just a excerpt from the video from this New York Band. The band contacted the Blog and directed me to their myspace. Catchy track. Not sure what is out there to buy yet. Video is alittle strange but heh...the music is great. Reminds me of an upbeat Tahiti 80.

Lykke Li - Breaking It Up

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoQQ6Qed024

New single from Lykke Li. Lykke seems to be getting a push over in North America. The press over here have started to review the CD as I guess some major label has just handed out the free promo review copies for the full length Youth Novels. Although the CD was officially released months ago in her native country. When will the newspapers get current and start previewing discs before they are released. Why does one need a promo copy to review a disc. Get with it Now, Eye, Exclaim, Toronto Sun, Metro, etc etc.

Alphabeat - Boyfriend



Video 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HcnCusaFwk
Video 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqM6oLM63YE

The Danish band 4th pop single. The album has been out for awhile in Denmark but go repackaged and issued in the IK just recently. Catchy bubblegum pop. I have posted two different videos. One from 2007 and one for the re-release of the single in the UK in 2008. Both are fairly ordinary videos. Nothing spectacular. Great track

Glass Tiger - My Town (Toronto FC Mix)



Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y70baI7znvk

Glass Tiger, Canadian eighties ikons, bring back their classic early nineties pop track My Town and retrofit it for Toronto Soccer team Toronto FC. Much better than the piece of trash that the Barenaked Ladies put out last year. Rumour this was done without any Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment backing. I like it!!!!.
