Baby Alpaca - Sea Of Dreams

A: Baby Alpaca
S: Sea Of Dreams
C: Sea Of Dreams - EP

Just in case you haven't heard, Movie2k.to died yesterday -which makes today the saddest day of the internet. So I decided to go for a sad sad song, to help us through these disastrous hours.

... where it's dark and deep, dawns horizon sets us free.

Quadron Feat. Kendrick Lamar - Better Off

A: Quadron Feat. Kendrick Lamar
S: Better Off
C: Avalanche

Prepare for Quadron's second album (Avalanche - out June 4th) with this sweet little tune that will dance a smile around your lips. And if you let it, it will do so all day long.

...  lord of daydreams, leading on the maybes.

Banks - Warm Water

A: Banks
S: Warm Water
C: Warm Water - Single

This is Banks, who makes connections outside of a computer screen. So don't expect to find her on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. But if you want to talk, call her on - (323) 362-2658 - BANKS.

... if you come closer I can whisper in your ear.

Lebanon Hanover - Gallowdance

A: Lebanon Hanover
S: Gallowdance
C: Gallowdance - EP

This might not be the happiest of all songs, but I'm sure it will stay with you for a while. Lebanon Hanover are Larissa Georgiou aka Larissa Iceglass and William Morris aka William Maybelline. The duo rose in Williams bedroom in Sunderland, in the UK.

... we both know the string is always ready.

Easter - Alien Babies

A: Easter
S: Alien Babies
C: The Softest Hard

As I was wondering who on earth would call a band 'Easter', I found the answer on the band's website: Every Easter since 05 we've spent together blowing eggs and penises. Through our music you will, eventually, be able to face the most beautiful ass on the beach.

... I'm so happy I could die.

The Jones Girls - You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else

A: The Jones Girls
S: You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else

A little disco never hurt no one, especially on a rainy day Sunday. The doctor subscribes kicking back your heels in style with this late seventies classic. Get ready to get infected.

... now I aint dumb, and I aint stupid.

C2C Feat. Derek Martin - Happy

A: C2C Feat. Derek Martin
S: Happy
C: Tetra

I don't get that Elton John song, you know, sorry seems to be the hardest word. If you're regretful, it's the only word on your mind, no? Having said that, let's get back to being happy.

... you'll never feel happy - until you try.

The Xx + Jessie Ware - Lady / Music Sounds Better With You

A: The Xx + Jessie Ware
S: Lady / Music Sounds Better With You

Here's what's leftover from the Night+Day festival The Xx hosted last weekend in Berlin - that's to say the climax of it. Even with such low recording quality you can tell how funky that medley was.

... I won´t catch you out of my mind.

Tim Paris Feat. Georg Levin - Golden Ratio

A: Tim Paris Feat. Georg Levin
S: Golden Ratio
C: Golden Ratio - Single

Tim Paris is originally from Marseille. Makes sense doesn't it, or what were you thinking? About as much sense as it makes for me to buy more and more records on vinyl without owning a record player.

... can't change a running system.

Chromatics - Camera

A: Chromatics
S: Camera
C: After Dark 2

Having seen them playing live twice over the weekend, they went from being my favourite band to being the best band in the world. Or as a friend of mine described it: on a record they sound like heroine, and as a live act like extasy.

... I know I'll see you soon.

IS TROPICAL - Dancing Anymore

A: IS TROPICAL
S: Dancing Anymore
C: Dancing Anymore - EP

Is Tropical's second album, called I'm Leaving, is out today and you can stream it in its entirety on soundcloud, no matter if or if not you are dancing anymore.

... I won't let you move that way.

Culture Club - Time (Clock Of The Heart)

A: Culture Club
S: Time (Clock Of The Heart)
C: Kissing to Be Clever

Time, four innocent letters, and an unquestionable tricky concept. If push comes to shove, I'm sure nothing defines our lives as much as time. And the ability to find the right time in, and the right time out.

... in time we could've been so much more.

The Aikiu - Pieces Of Gold

A:  The Aikiu
S: Pieces Of Gold
C: Pieces Of Gold - EP

This is fantastic, I only knew this style of desexed porn movie material as actual pictures. Needless to say it works ten times better when used as graphic film stuff. Especially when accompanied by a song by  The Aikiu.

... this is where the lovers fade.

Mykki Blanco - Wavvy

A: Mykki Blanco
S: Wavvy
C: Wavvy - Single

The xx are holding a quite fabulous mini festival in Berlin today, and chose the quite fabulous Spreepark as their location. I will be there, and so is Mykki Blanco. This is your mini chance to get a slice of the pie.

... maybe she born with it, maybe it was Maybelline.

Clubfeet - Cape Town

A: Clubfeet
S: Cape Town
C: Cape Town - Single

Here's more for you summer happiness, all wrapped up in a song. Clubfeet are a five piece synth-pop band from Melbourne, Australia, and Cape Town, South Africa - defined by sun drenched, I'd say.

... everybody dance with me.

Big Deal - Dream Machines

A: Big Deal
S: Dream Machines
C: Dream Machines - Single

Since summer is here and Big Deal sound a lot like it, I've put one and one together and came to today's nothing but logical post. Did I mention I'm off work today? No, good.

... you can't have both.

Holy Ghost! - Dumb Disco Ideas

A: Holy Ghost!
S: Dumb Disco Ideas
C: Dumb Disco Ideas - Single

This came out only yesterday and I am already totally in love with it. And I'm no biggie when it comes to being hooked on Holy Ghost! It might just as well turn into the soundtrack of this summer called disco.

... cruel summer for cruel lovers.

Tom Odell - Another Love

A: Tom Odell
S: Another Love
C: Songs From Another Love - EP

This isn't exactly new, but lyricswise it's quite a masterpiece. Having won the BRITs Critics' Choice Award in early 2013, Tom Odell's debut studio album, Long Way Down, will be available in late June.

... I wanna cry and I wanna love but all my tears have been used up.

Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

A:  Michael Jackson
S: Smooth Criminal

I'm not gonna lie. I'm a bit lost for songs at the moment. So if the present let's you down, head for the past, as in the classics. Although that is only advisable for song.

... it was sunday - what a black day.

Stay Bless - Always

A: Stay Bless
S: Always
C: Faded - EP

The only thing that is more annoying than screaming children are screaming girls. Screaming boys, at least, always look like little rebels on a mission. Screaming girls just look stupid, I think.

... God knows I've tried.

Fe - Let It Go

A: Fe
S: Let It Go
C: Let It Go- Single

This is, apparently, the new Lana Del Rey. At least that's what I've been told. So this might be good or not so jolly news, depending on whether or not you liked the old one.

... you know I try to feed a hungry appetite.

Junip - Your Life Your Call

A: Junip
S: Your Life Your Call
C: Your Life Your Call - Single

Today's song is brought to you by Junip, a Swedish folk rock, psychedelic rock band, and is taken from the band's second, self-titled album - which is about as thrilling as this Friday is going to get. 

... stand up or enjoy your fall.

Suuns - 2020

A:  Suuns
S: 2020
C: Images Du Future

Ever since Up Past The Nursery, Suuns have become one of those bands that can do anything they please and I will like it instantly, if not immediately. And I hope you like it too.

... and what you see is really what you see.

Delta Rae - Bottom Of The River

A: Delta Rae
S: Bottom Of The River
C: Bottom Of The River

Yes yes, they used this for True Blood's sixth season trailer. And what's good for HBO is good enough for me. After all, there's nothing that smells more like summer than a little vampire drama.

... and if you fall - hold my hand.

Twigs - How's That

A: Twigs
S: How's That
C: How's That - EP

Quote: “Go home, take a paper bag, cut some eyeholes out of it. Put it over your head, get undressed and look at yourself in the mirror. Really evaluate where your strengths and weaknesses are. And be honest.”

... how's that feel.

Say Lou Lou - Julian

A: Say Lou Lou
S: Julian
C: Julian - EP

I will hate myself for posting this now the day the video will be released, but since I've had it on repeat for weeks and the single is officially released today (check out it's b-side featuring Chet Faker) and there is no video in sight, I thought, what the fuck.

... maybe we are sinners - but loving ain't no crime.

Hypnolove - Come To My Empire (Bufi & La Royale Remix)

A: Hypnolove
S: Come To My Empire (Bufi & La Royale Remix)
C: Ghost Carnival

I would have posted the original to this, but the remix is much better. So, this is Sunday, this is a song, that is about as much as I have managed to figured out today. 

... close your eyes and come to my empire.

Dinosaur - Kiss Me Again

A: Dinosaur
S: Kiss Me Again
C: Kiss Me Again - Single

A little disco never hurt nobody, especially on such a fantastically sunny morning. And since a little is never enough, we'll hit it with this fifteen minutes long track - so you won't get bored when hitting the repeat button.

... kiss me, kiss me, kiss me again.

Gatsby Week: Lana Del Rey - Young & Beautiful (Orchestral Version)

A: Lana Del Rey
S: Young & Beautiful (Orchestral Version)
C: The Great Gatsby - OST

So let's kill Gatsby Week in style with this song about fleeting beauty and fleeting love, which is, simply put, perfect for Lana. Whether you like her not, she really made those themes her own.

... will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Janelle Monáe Feat. Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N.

A:  Janelle Monáe Feat. Erykah Badu
S: Q.U.E.E.N.
C: Q.U.E.E.N. - Single

Ok. I'm already a bit bored with Gatsby Week. Let's take a well-deserved break with this funky combo that brings together Janelle Monáe and Erykah Badu and the best out of the two. Dance or die.

... they call us dirty ‘cuz we break all your rules down.

Gatsby Week: Nero - Into The Past

A: Nero
S: Into The Past
C: The Great Gatsby - OST

 In Germany they call it 'dance into May', which sounds lovely. In Berlin, they dance into it, through it, and out of it. Which can be lovely too, and May-be a bit messy.

... I'll follow you.
