Kadebostany - Jolan

A: Kadebostany
S: Jolan
C: Pop Collection

Here's proof that a video full of hipster stereotypes can't ruin a perfectly great song. I mean: a hipster font, a random beach, and synchronized swimmers - it looks like tumblr threw up all over it.

... I feel like we could almost be a work of art.

Kings Of Leon - Beautiful War

A: Kings Of Leon
S: Beautiful War
C: Mechanical Bull

Here is a big video, big production, big story, big emotions. Everything is very big about this video. Good guy turns bad turns good again. And on top of all that: cowboys. Let's be thankful.

... there is nobody that I'd rather hold, shattered and cold.

The Lumineers - Gale Song

A: The Lumineers
S: Gale Song
C: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The Catching Fire soundtrack has a star studded indie music line up all together (just ignore the fact that la Aguilera sings a song), but Gale Song is the most shining star on the compilation.

... there was a time when I stood in line for love.

Risqué - The Girls Are Back In Town

A: Risqué
S: The Girls Are Back In Town
C: The Girls Are Back In Town

It's my party and I can disco if I want to! So here's a lot to the 80s, and a little to me.

... tell the boys now we want passion.

Twin Shadow - Old Love / New Love

A: Twin Shadow
S: Old Love / New Love
C: Old Love / New Love - Single

And what if the TV tower in Berlin was meant to be one hell of a spiked giant disco ball overlooking the whole city, guarding every move that is made on every dance floor. What if?

... light loses to the dark, we will never be apart.

Evangelicals - Midnight Vignette

A: Evangelicals
S: Midnight Vignette
C: The Evening Descends

Monday morning is the perfect time to lick your wounds. If you are lucky, you find somebody who licks them for you. And if you are very lucky, you find somebody who doesn't just stop at the wounds.

... and you can tell everyone around.

Scout Niblett - River Of No Return

A: Scout Niblett
S: River Of No Return
C: This Fool Can Die Now


It's a shame there is no such thing as a soundtrack to our lifes. If there was, River Of No Return would be my title song. Not because I like it so much, but because it keeps reappearing, totally coincidentally.

... love is a traveler on the river of no return.

Flume & Chet Faker - Drop The Game

A: Flume & Chet Faker
S: Drop The Game
C: Drop The Game - Single

It's about freaking fcuking time Chet Faker releases his debut album. Which is still in the making, my friends Wiki and Pedia just informed me. So let's hope for a real Faker next year.

... hush, I said there's more to life than rush.

Dead Man's Bones - In The Room Where You Sleep

A: Dead Man's Bones
S: In The Room Where You Sleep
C: Dead Man's Bones

If you ever asked yourself, and I know that everybody has asked themselves this at some point in their life, if Ryan Gosling can do anything and everything right - here is your answer: a big, fat yes.

... a dark heart is beating and waiting for you.

Hypnolove - Winter In The Sun

A: Hypnolove
S: Winter In The Sun
C: Winter In The Sun - Single

I like videos like this that are detached from the songs, and I like melodies that are detached from their lyrics. The most iconic example for this is without a doubt Abba's hit The Day Before You came.

... I don't mind as long you're with me.

Carousel - Another Day

A: Carousel
S: Another Day
C: Another Day - Single

Since November is such a drag, here's some sunshine to brighten up the grey. And just so you know, there is more than one band called Carousel. So don't get confused while working the search machines.

... did you know that I have never felt this way before?

Baby Alpaca - Wild Child

A: Baby Alpaca
S: Wild Child
C: Wild Child - Single

Possesion is a funny thing. I noticed that I find it utterly embarassing if somebody claims somebody else over others. But if somebody tells you you're theirs, even my cynical self has to admit it's kind of nice.

... we're never going home.

RY X - Berlin

A: RY X
S: Berlin
C: Berlin - EP

Here's what I've learned: Life isn't about the eithers and the ors. It is about the ands. Sometimes it's not about making choices, but about keeping your mind open for every single possibility.

... tell me im not going home.

KT Tunstall - Made Of Glass

A: KT Tunstall
S: Made Of Glass
C: Invisible Empire / Crescent Moon

Miss Tunstall called the latest addition to her music videofolio 'gory' - which makes it needless to describe it in any other words. More things should be called gory more often, I think.

... every minute I see something I know that you'd love.

Valérie Carpentier - Le Rendez-vous

A: Valérie Carpentier
S: Le Rendez-vous
C: Le Rendez-vous - Single

If you always wanted to know how French blond can get in a time post-bardot, here's your answer. It is wrapped up in a teeny weeny cute little pop song. Nothing more, nothing less.

... alors je viens comme je suis.

Blood Orange - Time Will Tell

A: Blood Orange
S: Time Will Tell
C: Cupid Deluxe

It's here: Cupid Deluxe, Blood Orange's second album, is out today. If acts were emotions, Blood Orange would certainly classify as the perfect kiss, after a long long night out on the town.

... it is what it is.

The Jezabels - The End

A: The Jezabels
S: The End
C: The Brink (out Feb 2014)

Today four years ago I started this little blog of mine, and while it's just me and some more or less important words I type every day, I want to thank everybody who's reading, watching, and dancing.

... go pray for something more.

Lily Allen - Hard Out Here

A: Lily Allen
S: Hard Out Here
C: Hard Out Here - Single

La Allen is back with her first original song since 2009. And NME is already calling Hard Out Here one of the greatest British pop songs of the year. I coudln't agree more. All that sarcasm makes me twist.

... sometimes it's hard to find the words to say.

don't need to shake my ass for you because I've got a brain

Say Lou Lou - Beloved

A: Say Lou Lou
S: Beloved
C: Beloved - Single

Your favourite dream slash wave pop duo is back with a new song and a date for their first EP "Better In The Dark" which will be released mid December. Christmas came early this year, I guess.

... I used to feel protection from your touch.

Miami Horror Feat. Sarah Chernoff - Real Slow

A: Miami Horror Feat. Sarah Chernoff
S: Real Slow
C: Real Slow - Single

Here's what I've read this morning: Justin B. and Katy P. both won EMAs best artist of the year. I find that both shocking and disgusting, especially coming from MTV. Anyway, here's some real music.

... is great to see, you're meant for me.

The Organ - Brother

A: The Organ
S: Brother
C: Grab That Gun

Compromising is something we learn as we get older, and I am not sure if it is an ability or more of a disability - not being capable to wait for what might just be perfect. Because there is no such thing as a perfect compromise.

... it's going to hurt more when they take you away from me.

Ballet School - Crush

A: Ballet School
S: Crush
C: Boys Again - EP

Here's everything you need to make it through this winter coming: a crush, blue socks, an old tape player, space to dance in your own home, and a band called Ballet School. A sofa is totally optional.

... you are mine, you are mine, you are mine.

Sofrito - Tropical Discotheque

A: Sofrito
S: Tropical Discotheque
C: Tropical Discotheque - Single

What can I say, it's Friday and I can feel a certain itch taking over my feet, which has exactly the same little rhythm as this little voodooesque song from the hottest discotheque.

... bring the disco music to the people.

Maria Taylor - Up All Night

A: Maria Taylor
S: Up All Night
C: Something About Knowing

If you are looking for some much needed Christmas inspiration, here's the best proposal you will find this season. Maybe even the best proposal ever. Who knew magical can be this easy?

... you taught me so much in just a view days.

Gold Lip - Friends & Lovers

A: Gold Lip
S: Friends & Lovers
C: Friends & Lovers - Single

To reach the status of being both friends and lovers is probably the rarest thing ever to happen in a relationship. To make such a gorgeous song out of it is probably even rarer, but thank fcuck Gold Lip pulled it off.

... can we call each other friends and lovers?

Lauren O'Connell - House Of The Rising Sun

A: Lauren O'Connell
S: House of the Rising Sun
C: American Horror Story: Coven

Here is a song that is totally amazing for exactly three reasons: because the original is totally amazing, the cover is so too, and it was featured on the totally amazing TV show American Horror Story.

... spend your lives in sin and misery.

Ben Khan - Eden

A: Ben Khan
S: Eden
C: Eden - Single

Maybe I'd name my son Eden, if I ever had one, which I won't. But ever since Noah became ever so popular, I'd consider Eden a worthy second choice. So if you're pregnangt, consider this.

... cut off your wings, create the scene.

The Preatures - Is This How You Feel?

A: The Preatures
S: Is This How You Feel?
C: Is This How You Feel? - EP

I'm not one to compare artists, but if you'd mix Dragonette with The Jezables you would pretty much end up with The Preatures - and I mean that in every possible positive and awesome way.

... is it real for you like it's real for me?

Moan - Air

A: Moan
S: Air
C: Air - Single

Suggested posts on facebook are a pain in the rear, usually. But then I found this little gem this week as such a post so that was quite alright with me. Moan originate from Tel Aviv, originally. Enjoy.

... but instead of inhaling - exhale.

Polly Scattergood - Cocoon

A: Polly Scattergood
S: Cocoon
C: Cocoon - Single

If you think about it, Cocoons are funny things. They are about as excluding as they are including. Probably more so excluding. They are proof that solitude is, can and might be perfect bliss.

... they sing about waking up alone.
