Crossover - I Know Your Face

A: Crossover
S: I Know Your Face
C: Cryptic and Dire Sallow Faced Hoods Blast Off Into Oblivion

Sometimes a Sunday is really nothing more and nothing less than the beautiful song that you are listening to. And maybe a pair of eyes that suck you in and let you drown yourself in them.

... I still see your eyes - in my mind.

Blondie Feat. Beth Ditto - A Rose By Any Name

A: Blondie Feat. Beth Ditto
S: A Rose By Any Name
C: A Rose By Any Name - EP

It's a feature that is almost too perfect to be true. Much like people, we complain about each other flaws, and if there's nothing to complain about, we complain about that. At least that's what I recently observed.

... whenever you go, all over the world.

Lessons - Double Or Nothing

A: Lessons
S: Double Or Nothing
C: Double Or Nothing - EP

Lessons are self-appointed purveyors of fine electronic music, and pretty hard to find on the internet. Today is Friday, so I won't put in too much effort in doing so. Understandable, I guess.

... there's regret only in things you don't do.

Emotion II Emotion Feat. Ryann - Night & Day

A: Emotion II Emotion Feat. Ryann
S: Night & Day
C: Night & Day - Single

Here's some groove to put some 90s into your Thursday. Also, to put some night into your day. But most of all, to put some contrast into your grey - because things are never as black and white as they seem.

... I'm talking love when you're walking my way.

M.I.A. - Bring The Noize

A: M.I.A.
S: Bring The Noize
C: Matangi (out this fall)

Even the slowest computer on planet earth, which is known as my office mac, pulled its shit together and managed to play Bring The Noize in one go, which basically means as much as bowing its head in awe to M.I.A.

... words I announce, hope you heard em like cows.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Despair

A: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
S: Despair
C: Mosquito

I like Yeah Yeah Yeahs as much as I like Berlin, which is a lot, which is without any ifs or buts. But maybe not as much as I like Manhattan, which is a lot more. Easy maths on a Tuesday morning.

... you're there, through my wasted days.

Okkervil River - It Was My Season

A: Okkervil River
S: It Was My Season
C: The Silver Gymnasium (out 03.09.12)

Will Sheff, frontman for literate Texan indie band Okkervil River, has lately been busying himself with the DIY synthpop project Lovestreams. Not to worry, his main band comes roaring back in a couple of months with a new album called The Silver Gymnasium.

... stop the bleeding when it's my season.

Foals - Bad Habit

A: Foals
S: Bad Habit
C: Holy Fire

Since I only ever really liked one song by Foals I was wondering if they boarded on one hit wonder. Then I got thinking about that concept for models, if the right term would then be one shot wonder. Made sense, for a while at least.

... there's nothing I want today.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

A: Arctic Monkeys
S: Do I Wanna Know?
C: Do I Wanna Know? - EP

On the subject of mindfuck - clearly the perfect subject for a sunny Saturday - which obviously derives from fucking the brain, but it got me thinking recently if fucking isn't a brain kind of thing, too.

... there’s this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow.

MØ - Waste of Time

A: MØ
S: Waste of Time
C: Waste of Time - EP

That's nice, I had almost forgotten what 35 degrees felt like. It's funny how we manage to forget feelings if we don't feel them for a while. Absence makes the heart grow colder, it should be, if you ask me.

... say the words and I'll be gone now.

DWNTWN - See My Eyes

A: DWNTWN
S: See My Eyes
C: The Red Room

Since there are only two of them, it baffles me every summer how many men get the basic rules of fashion wrong: never ever wear flip flops, under no circumstances, and if you wear shorts, make sure they are very short and never checkered. Easy.

... you lost me to explore.

Die Antwoord - Cookie Thumper

A: Die Antwoord
S: Cookie Thumper
C: Cookie Thumper - Single

I give Die Antwoord another album and then we will all be fluent in Afrikaans, even if they describe their work as "documentary fiction" designed for shock value - and not as a language crash course.

... wicked like mad D.O.G. - fresh like a little dark G.O.D.

Haerts - Wings

A: Haerts
S: Wings
C: Wings - Single

Here's some new sound that sounds like summer. In case you cared to know, HAERTS is a band from New York hailing from Germany, England, and the United States - a mixture worth watching.

... leaving means there's nothing left to try.

Editors - The Weight

A: Editors
S: The Weight
C: The Weight Of Your Love

There are some bands, and Editors is one of them, where I never know if I like their new songs because I actually like them or if I like the new songs only because I liked the old songs. Tricky, very.

... for a moment there was lightning.

Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark

A: Bruce Springsteen
S: Dancing in the Dark
C: Born In The USA

Here's to the days when VHS was the shit, to The Place Beyond The Pines, to everybody who decided to have more fun this summer, and most of all to everybody who's dancing.

... you can't start a fire without a spark.

Butterclock - Holograms

A: Butterclock
S: Holograms
C: First Prom

Apparently it's not about being at the right place at the right time. It's about being at the right place all the time. I say it's about listening to the right song all the time - seems logic.

... call heart players on the silver screen.

Kylie Minogue - Skirt

A: Kylie Minogue
S: Skirt
C: Skirt - Single

Having climbed out of my spaceship I realized that on a certain planet called pop, La Minogue is still the hottest bitch in town. As for the song, it's so bad I actually think it's on the right side of fun.

... take whatever you want.

Washed Out - It All Feels Right

A: Washed Out
S: It All Feels Right
C: It All Feels Right - EP

There's more where this comes from, but you will have to wait a while: Paracosm will be released mid August. But you know what they saya bout good things coming to those who wait. That's why I'm always about a hour late.

... we'll head out for a long ride.

Glass Candy - Warm In The Winter

A: Glass Candy
S: Warm In The Winter
C: Warm In The Winter - EP

Here's the plan: Johnny Jewel should run for president, and I would be the first lady. It would be totally scandal free, of course. Whilst I am working on that one, you should enjoy the warmth of summer.

... crazy like a monkey - happy like a new year.

Disclosure Feat. London Grammar - Help Me Lose My Mind

A: Disclosure Feat. London Grammar
S: Help Me Lose My Mind
C: Settle

London Grammar are so 2013, it's hard to believe they will still be around next year. I propose we make the most of the hype and enjoy it to the fullest as long as it lasts.

... could it be easy to start over?

Asa Soltan - Tehrangeles

A: Asa Soltan
S: Tehrangeles
C: Tehrangeles - Single

Here's a song, you know, a bit different than the stuff you usually hear on here. Anyway, Tehrangeles is a portmanteau deriving from the combination of Tehran and Los Angeles, used when referring to Iranian nationals residing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

... tehrangeles, tehrangeles.

Turntable Orchestra - You're Gonna Miss Me

A: Turntable Orchestra
S: You're Gonna Miss Me
C: You're Gonna Miss Me - EP

I have decided to give white a chance, as a color, for my clothes. And it is save to say that so far, either white or I are failing miserably. Which means I am heading back to black. Most probably.

... you are gonna know that you were wrong.

Labyrinth Ear - Navy Light

A: Labyrinth Ear
S: Navy Light
C: Oak

Here's what happened: Yesterday was my day off, overworked and underfcuked. So I cleaned my balcony, as you do. Today, a bird shitted on it. Let's hope some things just happen for no reason.

... your smell makes me cry and this shirt smells of you.

Chvrches - Gun

A: Chvrches
S: Gun
C: Gun - Single

The day Chvrches will release a video to this I will hate myself for being the most impatient person I know and posting this today. In the meantime, clap your hands together and embrace the band's swing into pop music.

... I have burned your bridges.

Wolf Saga - Our Time

A: Wolf Saga
S: Our Time
C: Our Time - Single

Here's what I've learned: Sometimes life can be as easy as a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt. And then somtimes it's not. Both come and go as randomly as your wardrobe does.

... spend your time here wisely.

Jacques Greene Feat. How To Dress Well - On Your Side

A:  Jacques Greene Feat. How To Dress Well
S: On Your Side
C: On Your Side - EP

Too tired to think, I am happy that I managed to google this sentence: In less than three years, Jacques Greene, an enigmatic young house producer from Montreal, has given the current musical landscape progressively deeper ideas of what house music can mean in the new decade.

... you will never gonna change my mind.

Surahn - Watching The World

A: Surahn
S: Watching The World
C: Surahn - EP

Remember. Commit. Confess. Loneliness. Love. Watching The World's lyrics might be a bit heavy and the title offers that detached point of view on things that is only healthy for a short while, as I believe.

... count the lies and let the candles burn out.

Flynt Feat. Orelsan - Mon Pote

A: Flynt Feat. Orelsan
S: Mon Pote
C: Itinéraire Bis

Whether or not you like rap music in general or French rap in particular, this is going to be the best music video you'll see this year. And remember that you've heard it here first.

... trop longtemps mon meilleur pote c'était moi.

Hiatus & Shura - First

A: Hiatus & Shura
S: First
C: Fortune's Fool - EP

The thing that baffles me most about the protests in Turkey is that people want the world to know what's going on. Compared to knowing that they aren't fighting in vain, winning their cause almost seems secondary - which is globalization, reinterpreted.

... lead me - I'm lost.

Ronika - Automatic

A: Ronika
S: Automatic
C: Automatic - EP

You might have felt it cooking for some time now, on this blog and elsewhere, and yesterday The Guardian made it an official matter: 2013 will be the summer of disco - whether it's your cup of groove or not.

... wait for me - I wait for you.
