One for the dance kids. You might know Calvin Harris better from his collaborations with Kylie Minogue (he recorded on her recent X album) and Dizzee Rascal (on the single Dance Wiv Me). This is the first single to be released from his second studio album.

Monday Double Shot of Jangily indiepop
1) Skint & Demoralised - This Song Is Definitely Not About You
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbcG636Gdko
Nice jangily pop song from this UK band. Love, And Other Catastrophes... their first album is due out in May. This is their second single (we reviewed the first on November 21 of last year). Unfortunately Mercury won't let me embed the video so you will need to click on the youtube link above.
2) door cinema club-something good can work
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZngQxPpW8g
Catchy track from this young Irish band released on 7 inch. Hard to believe they haven't been signed to a major yet. This reads hit single all over it.

The Ditty Bops - Walk or Ride
I have been informed that it is International Women's Day today, so how about a song from a couple of musically talented ladies from California. The Ditty Bops once cycled from Los Angeles to New York City in 2006 to promote their second album in an environmentally friendly way. You can read about their journey here, I would recommend it if you are particularly excited by long blogs: http://www.thedittybopsbiketour.blogspot.com/

Saturday Triple Pack Ladytron, Ladyhawke, Saturdays
Lots of things to review these days. The music business is starting to pick up after a slow January and February. We look at 3 well established artists with new tracks out this past week in the UK.
Ladytron - Tomorrow
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_BSfkTFQ4M
Back from where we started. Our first post back in 2007 was Ladytron's smash Destroy Everything You Touch. This is the third single I believe off Ladytron's latest album Velocifero. A nice melodic tune with supernatural jellyfish video. Currently rumoured to be touring with Depeche Mode this summer.
Ladyhawke - Paris Is Burning
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1HDZNR9cY4
Not a new single as we reviewed this in July of last year but the UK record company re-issue the single once again in new packaging. Fantastic track from this New Zealander which deserves to be re-mentioned. Off one of my favourite albums last year, the debut self-titled album Ladyhawke.
Satrudays - Just Can't Get Enough
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vte4HUoRDSI
The ladies provide us with their campy reworking of the classic Depeche Mode club/eighties track Just Can't Get Enough and it actually works. All the proceeds from the sales on this record go to charity through the Comic Relief fund in the UK.
All the singles from this outfit have gone top 10 in the UK in sales and this track is their most popular to date going to number 2.

Disconcerts- Human Figure in Motion
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXPnoDUFPZ4
First single from the Disconcerts out of the UK. Very old skool alternative type track that could have come out of the mid-eighties. This is the first single for the band available on 7 Inch or Digital Download. Think PIL or The Fall. Can't say much more than that. Wicked track.

CocknBullKid - I'm Not Sorry
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNC3zHFeShg
Fantastic new single from CockNBullKid released on MoshiMoshi Records. Supposedly there is a full length record on the way. Electropop music. We reviewed another wicked single by the band on July 20, 2008 if interested in more. The Kid is based out of the UK.

Max Pashm - Manea-k
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x4LEPh79as (warning: may load slowly -- if so try the MySpace)
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/maxpashm
With an album cover and title that clearly gives a nod to a certain album by the Sex Pistols, here's something a little bit different for Tuesday. Max Pashm describes his music as KlezmerBalkanGreekGypsyPunk with Electro-beats. He has created a world music fusion that is almost certain to make you want to stand up and dance. The song is about 4:50 minutes long so don't be fooled by the 8 minute video. Enjoy the beats.

Lissy Trullie - Boy Boy
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt6CGCp_ZEc
Sweet Indie Rock!!! Fantastic cut from this New York Outfit and taken from their Self-Taught Learner EP. Makes me think of a cleaner Jesus and The Mary Chain.
