David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

A: David Bowie
S: The Stars (Are Out Tonight)
C: The Next Day

I've never really really gotten into David Bowie but do appreciate the occasional tune by the man who was formerly known as Ziggy Stardust. So I can summarize this post for all the wrong reasons and in one word only: Tilda Swinton.

... they know just what to do, that we toss and turn at night.

Little Boots - Motorway

A: Little Boots
S: Motorway
C: Nocturnes (out May 2013)

Right, I went to watch that miserable french musical movie last night and realized that Anne Hathaway basically won the Oscar for singing just one song. I think that's great. Other actors have to play throughout an entire movie in order to win one. Anne sings a song and dies. Anyway, this is Little Boots.

... meet me on the moon today, it's just me and you.

Justin Timberlake - Mirrors

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - MIRRORS from M.Λ. on Vimeo.

A: Justin Timberlake
S: Mirrors
C: Mirrors - Single

While I'm no big fan of Mr. JT, I'm a great fan of the person who requested this song today. Anyway, mirrors are a funny thing. While they only reflect our outside, all we see is what's inside of ous when looking into one. Probably because the eyes are a mirror to our souls. The only question is: do you like what's starring back at you?

... I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go.

Bat For Lashes - Lilies

A: Bat For Lashes
S: Lilies
C: The Haunted Man

Since I don't believe in fate but in the choices we make, I started wondering if maybe they are fighting a constant battle with the coincidences that are happening around us. A good fight, you know. A patient fight. Which makes about as much sense as Bat For Lashes' new video for Lilies.

... in the second before I sleep, did I believe what I did see?

Electric Youth - The Best Thing

A: Electric Youth
S: The Best Thing
C: The Best Thing - EP

Here's to the bestest things in life, which always reminds me of my favourite quote of all times, by a great man, called Charles Dickens: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

... you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Atlantic Starr - Who Could Love You Better

A: Atlantic Starr
S: Who Could Love You Better
C: Yours Forever

I called the 80s the other day and said I want them back. They said they were running late and would see what they could do. So keep your finger crossed. Now if only you could get everything back that easy. Mind you, if we could get the 80s back, what else could we possibly need. Exactly.

... who could?

Snoop Dogg Feat. David Guetta - Sweat

Snoop Dogg-Sweat feat David Guetta [Clip 2011] from iWeeZy on Vimeo.


A: Snoop Dogg Feat. David Guetta
S: Sweat
C: Sweat- EP

The clip is cheap and the sound is crap, but there is that one line which justifies this track. Sweat - if you think about it, it's fantastic, because it's the only exchange of body fluids which can't be caused only mechanically. Which means that making somebody sweat is, ultimately, the most intimate thing of all intimate things. Sweet sweat, I'd say.

... I just want to make you sweat.

MØ - Glass

A: MØ
S: Glass
C: Glass - EP

If there is such a thing as being drunk on love, I wonder how one would define the possibly resulting hang over. And how you would treat it, if there is a treatment at all. Anyway, what is it with Denmark this year? Tons of talented artists, like MØ, are emerging from there these day, it's almost a tad creepy.

... if you’re in love beneath the pain, what a pleasant sensation.

Moullinex - Darkest Night

A: Moullinex
S: Darkest Night
C: Flora

I dreamed about fonts tonight, leaving me wondering this morning when I woke up if there is something wrong with me. Anyway, here is some discorama drama extravaganza to brighten up your Wednesday, the most depressing day of the week, officially voted for by me. And as for the fonts, i went for Gotham in the end.

... you cannot take me home with you.

Geographer - Kites

A: Geographer
S: Kites
C: Animal Shapes - EP


I got up this morning and had Haribos for breakfast. I decided that these days are my rock n roll days. Then I saw the newly snowed snow outside and realized that life in general is nothing but a fat gummi bear.  Anything else? Oh yes, these are Geographer - a band that doesn't need the The in it's name.

... my hate burns like this, in my hands in his fist.

Tame Impala - Mind Mischief

A: Tame Impala
S: Mind Mischief
C: Lonerism

Hello. It's Monday. Whoever invented that day, I don't know. Here's some Tame Impala for you, according to many, the best band 2012. Is it Tuesday yet? Never mind. Is it March yet? Ok then not.

... I just don't know where the hell I belong.

The Postal Service - A Tattered Line Of String

The Postal Service - A Tattered Line of String [OFFICIAL TRACK] (not the video)(1080p_H.264-AAC).mp4 from David Black on Vimeo.


A: The Postal Service
S: A Tattered Line Of String
C: A Tattered Line Of String - Single

The Postal Service are back! A Tattered Line Of String is their first song in 10 years, which is as exciting as any Sunday is ever going to get. So dance. On this note, I might like to add that up until now people getting up early on Sundays are weird hikers. But since daytime clubbing in Berlin, I might have be wrong.

... every time we kissed, I felt something that couldn’t exist.

Electric Youth - Right Back To You

A: Electric Youth
S: Right Back To You
C: Right Back To You - EP

I love Electric Youth. Anyway, I have been thinking, if it's true that people remember us for the way we made them feel, and not for who we are or were - in the case of absence, do we miss the person, or the way they made us feel? If so, missing somebody might be quite a selfish thing to feel.

... I know you're never far away from me.

Lana Del Rey - Burning Desire

A: Lana Del Rey
S: Burning Desire
C: Born To Die - Paradise Edition

The bestest thing about being single is, without doubt, this song by La Rey. Or any other of her songs. They just make a bit more sense with a certain unrequited longing inside you. If everything would be picture perfect, there would be no need for little gems like this song, even if the Jaguar feature is debatable.

... I have to touch myself to pretend you're there.

Merlin Moon - Empty Shell

A: Merlin Moon
S: Empty Shell
C: Empty Shell - EP

This is almost two years old and I never even heard it before. But since there isn't an album out 'in my region' I blame it on somebody else. Anyway, Merlin Moon looks different than he sounds, which is always nice mixture, for the ears, and for the eyes. And who would have thought war bombs and photo filters go so nicely together? 

... the empty shell will echo peace in every war.

Riz Ortolani & Katyna Ranieri - Oh My Love

A: Riz Ortolani & Katyna Ranieri
S: Oh My Love
C: Drive - OST

This is, most probably, the last remaining song of the Drive Soundtrack which hasn't been posted on here yet. So it's a little dramatic, who cares? So is life. And if not, there is still the excuse that it's Drive, which means that anything goes. Or that it is Riz Ortolani, which basically means tha same thing.

... we must learn that all can start again.

James Blake - Retrograde

A: James Blake
S: Retrograde
C: Overgrown

James Blake is back! Not really sure if I am too excited about that. If this planet represented music, and every country would be an artist, James Blake would be my Switzerland. I mean that there is nothing not to like, it's nice and beautiful and all, but I get bored within thirty seconds into a song and wait for the next one, eagerly.

... ignore everybody else, we’re alone now.

Infadels - Free Things For Poor People

A: Infadels
S: Free Things For Poor People
C: Universe In Reverse

Overslept, coffee, Monday - yeah. Anyway, visually this reminds me of a Laura Ashley ad gone weird, musically it makes me think of Pulp's Common People, and together it makes for a fun song. Try it on the treadmill if you like, I'm sure it will help you go and extra mile. 

... I make my way, up and down through the days.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness

A: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
S: I See A Darkness
C: Now Here's My Plan - EP

There are artists who need no introduction, there are songs who need no comment and there are days when blogging is nothing but writing down a couple of words. Today is such a day, so I leave you with this beautifully written song by someone best described a mastermind, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.

... I love you is a hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness.

Para One Feat. Jaw - When The Night

When The Night from Ill-Studio on Vimeo.


A: Para One Feat. Jaw
S: When The Night
C: When The Night - Single

Up until now, I considered You Are My High by Demon to be the hottest music video on the web. Not anymore. ILL-STUDIO wanted to bring back the so-called ‘Hot Lines'. And boy they did, being allowed to use Penthouse's huge video archive. So hot. What's not to love?

... you get blinded but your soul can see everything from the darkness of your mind.

Róisín Murphy - Simulation

A: Róisín Murphy
S: Simulation
C: Simulation - EP

This sounds like Friday and it is Friday, how handy. So, it only took La Róisín six months to make a video for Simulation. Insert irony here. It's one of those songs where I remember exactly when and where I heard it for the very first time: standing in my bathroom, brushing my teeth, whatsapping away ...

... if it’s all in my veins - it’s all in my mind.

MS MR - Fantasy

MS MR - Fantasy from MS MR on Vimeo.


A: MS MR
S: Fantasy
C: Second Hand Rapture (out 14.05.13)

So I guess after every Hurricane comes a Fantasy, huh? Anyway, MS MR are becoming one of the most exciting acts for 2013. Some call this unexpected, I say I knew this a long time ago. To make a long story short, let me just say: I'm even excited about that blue hairdo, which is a first.

... and my reality could never live up to my fantasy.

Woodkid - I Love You

I LOVE YOU from WOODKID on Vimeo.

A: Woodkid
S: I Love You
C: Golden Age

No comment.

... in the waves I've lost every trace of you.

The Knife - Full Of Fire

A: The Knife
S: Full Of Fire
C: Shaking The Habitual

I guess The Knife need no introduction, I guess I don't need to mention that, after a wait that lasted forever, they are touring this spring, and that the shows sold out in like five seconds. I managed to get tickets, only to see if I would get tickets. Now that I got tickets, I guess I go and see The Knife. The sun is out, by the way.

... what’s the object of your desire?

Oblivians - Do The Milkshake

A: Oblivians
S: Do The Milkshake
C: Popular Favorites

I said I like rock music and they played me this song. Needless to say it turned into a great night. Needless to say anything more. Except maybe possibly that Monday always comes much too soon.

... I tell you what to do - shake all night long.

Stealing Sheep - Shut Eye

A: Stealing Sheep
S: Shut Eye
C: Into The Diamond Sun

Maybe the best thing about weekends isn't having an own apartment, but spending lazy days in there, in long johns. In which case the best things in life wouldn't be free, but cost about thirty bucks. I did ask my stylist, and long johns are on the way back, she said. As long as you don't wear them underneath your jeans, of course.

... you should've got a better bed.

Dog Is Dead - Do The Right Thing

A: Dog Is Dead
S: Do The Right Thing
C: All Our Favourite Stories

The best thing about a lazy Saturday is having your own apartment. You might not agree at first, but if you lived in a flat share for over a year you might change your mind. So maybe the best things in life aren't free, but the ones we searched for, we were patient enough to wait for, until we find what we were looking for.

... give me a call when it's over.

Future Of Forestry - Slow Your Breath Down

A: Future Of Forestry
S: Slow Your Breath Down
C: Travel ll

Look, it's a band, and they play tons of instruments, so it's a proper band. They even play instruments I never saw before - stop the world I want to get off. Anyway, I found Future Of Forestry on Grey's Anatomy, for when it comes to music, it's simply the best TV show, ever. And I want Shonda Rhyimes who created it to run for president, please. Thanks.

... this chest is full of memories.
