Rangleklods - Schoolgirls

A: Rangleklods
S: Schoolgirls
C: Schoolgirls - Single

This band started out pretty special, but somehow just like yet another indie band from yet another hip Scandinavian country - because they all are. But with every song they become more clever, more distinct, more a band I truely admire.

... you could be the best of me.

Studio Montaigne - Shemale Obsession

A: Studio Montaigne
S: Shemale Obsession
C: Shemale Obsession - Single

This had me wondering if Obsession and Fetish are the same thing. Probably not, but they might be siblings, or at least have the same mother. Anyway, it's midweek to this short week so why not start dancing again.

... you've got to squeeze it to believe it.

Brandon Flowers - Still Want You

A: Brandon Flowers
S: Still Want You
C: The Desired Effect

Black and white is always a good idea for a music video, especially on a grey Tuesday like today. So let Brandon's second single off his second album be your soundtrack today, while we wait for the release of The Desired Effect on May 15.

... and you put my feet back on the ground.

TV On The Radio - Trouble

A: TV On The Radio
S: Trouble
C: Seeds

The phrase “Don’t worry, be happy” is practically ingrained into our culture, but in their latest video, TV on the Radio tackles the issue of what happens when Bobby McFerrin’s famous maxim just doesn’t cut it anymore.

... and the devil's got my number.

The Beach Boys - Rock n Roll To The Rescue

A: The Beach Boys
S: Rock n Roll To The Rescue
C: Rock n Roll To The Rescue

Life sometimes gets me wondering, if perfect moments exist. Just a couple of seconds, every day situations that get overlooked too easily, but if you notice them, life seems like a river of perfect moments passing by every now and then.

... I said it rescued me.

Giorgio Moroder Feat. Britney Spears - Tom’s Diner

A: Giorgio Moroder Feat. Britney Spears
S: Tom’s Diner
C: Deja Vu

The thirst for new Britney Spears music is letting up. I was a bit worried about this one for Britney but it easily exceeds my expectations. Brit serves up vocoder realness and fortunately, it only adds to the tracks aesthetic. Are you feeling the future of disco?

... and I look the other way.

Moullinex - Take A Chance

A: Moullinex
S: Take A Chance
C: Take A Chance - Single

If there is an underlying trait in all good music, it must be its ability to crush boundaries between genres, dancefloors and couches, twelve inches and YouTube clips. Enter Moullinex, Lisbon and Munich-based Luis Clara Gomes.

... I'm giving up on us.

8BCC - Heute Nicht

A: 8BCC
S: Heute Nicht
C: Irgendwas Ist Immer - EP

For all you non German speakers out there, I will translate this tune for you. Here we go: get rich or die naked. Yes, German is a bitch of a language. Anyway, 8BCC stands for 8 Bit Chess Club, the EP's called Irgendwas Ist Immer, go and buy it.

... ich kleide meine Worte in ein Redegewand.

Röyksopp - Skulls

A: Röyksopp
S: Skulls
C: The Inevitable End

At first I thought this song was about taking drugs, but after watching this video I know it's really about taking drugs. Since it's only Wednesday, I guess this makes for a perfect substitute for the weekend.

... we will be the love you've always wanted.

Carly Rae Jepsen - All That

Carly Rae Jepsen - All That von alaraberat

A: Carly Rae Jepsen
S: All That
C:All That - Single

Produced by mister Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange himself, and it shows. Simplicity is bliss, and nobody plays that game more perfect than Hynes. As far as music is concerned, I hope he reaches global dominance. Just image he'd write a song for Janet Jackson! It'd die.

... I wanna play this for you all the time.

Giorgio Moroder Feat. Sia - Deja Vu

A: Giorgio Moroder Feat. Sia
S: Deja Vu
C: Deja Vu

Right then, Monday. Here to help you through the day is Giorgio with Sia, doing everything right, but then what do you expect when to of music's greatest titans clash creatively? Exactly.

... I think I've found my baby.

King So So - Disco In The Sky

A: King So So
S: Disco In The Sky
C: Disco In The Sky - Single

Let's get ready to d-i-s-c-o, and what better way than doing it way up in the sky, in a Sunday sky. And if it a king demanding you to disco dance, you have no other option than to obey him. Why? Because he's a disco king.

... I'll meet you at the disco.

Mumford & Sons - The Wolf

A: Mumford & Sons
S: The Wolf
C: Wilder Mind

Look who left their banjos at how for their third record. A lot of people argued the band lost their signature move and became like any other rock band. I miss the banjos too, but I think, if you listen closely, you can still taste that special Munford spice.

... how you felt me slip your mind.

David Hasselhoff - True Survivor

A: David Hasselhoff
S: True Survivor
C: True Survivor - Single

Stop the world I want to get off! The Hoff is back and better than ever! Ok maybe not as hot as in the 80s but the song is so cleverly put together it takes the best from both my favourite decade as well as its recent revival trend.

... hear the ticking of the countdown clock tonight.

Chastity Belt - Time To Go Home

A: Chastity Belt
S: Time To Go Home
C: Time To Go Home - Single

There are songs that chronicle the banality of boredom, songs that glamorize the pleasures of an exhilarating night out. And then there's Time To Go Home, showing the exhaustive spectrum of feelings that arise from one seamlessly dizzying and anticlimactic evening.

... nothing worthwhile to say.

Ol' Dirty Bastard Feat. Mariah Carey - Fantasy

A: Ol' Dirty Bastard Feat. M.Carey
S: Fantasy
C: Daydream

Is this O.D.B. featuring Mariah or the other way around, I can't be quite sure. But since it is such a perfect tune, ready to turn spring into spot on summer, who gives a care. Everybody are you in the house!

... there's no beginning, and there is no end.

Will Butler - Something's Coming

A: Will Butler
S: Something's Coming
C: Policy

The apocalypse is coming, brought to you by an army of dagger-yielding dancing zombies in polka-dot bodysuits. It's a delightfully weird blend of noisy punk guitar riffs, catchy disco beats, jazzy piano notes and Dadaist lyrics.

... no, he's not your friend.

Trentemøller - Sycamore Feeling

A: Trentemøller
S: Sycamore Feeling
C: The Great Wide Yonder

Sycamore Feeling is a beautifully melancholic downtempo song with haunting vocals courtesy of singer Marie Fisker. Fiskers sensual, intoxicating performance, framed by a lush instrumentation with lots of ambience, make this another great Trentemøller-track.

... all the different voices of your name.

Kate Havnevik - Falling

A: Kate Havnevik
S: Falling
C: Falling - Single

Not every song is beautiful because of the song itself, but because it evokes memories, it takes you back in time, or it opens an entire world that you have forgotten about. Falling by Kate Havnevik is such a song, through and through.

... are we falling out, or falling in?

Sizarr - Baggage Man

A: Sizarr
S: Baggage Man
C: Baggage Man - Single

Meet Sizarr, an indie rock electro pop band from a part of Germany that is as german as it gets. On that note, let me say that I'm never quite sure if languages should be mixed in a song, but if they are, this is how to do it. Oh Einsamkeit.

... i learn the differences between desire and need.

Ben Khan - Zenith

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

"A superhero goes to die by lying on the sun," Khan, cryptic as ever, explains. "Ashamed of what he has done, he begs his love for forgiveness so he can return. But his fate is sealed, and he slowly burns to death."

... I won't leave you near or far.

Lykke Li – Never Gonna Love Again

A: Lykke Li
S: Never Gonna Love Again
C: I Never Learn

If I'm totally honest, I was never a fan of Lykke's Follow River song. You know, it was a question of: when the world zigs, zag. Having said that, I have to admit that I am a huge fan of the growing potential this second album is showing.

... I can't keep running away.

Rihanna - American Oxygen

A: Rihanna
S: American Oxygen
C: American Oxygen - Single

Rihanna debuted her sobering ode to the American dream at a performance during March Madness in Indiana - where she slammed the state's anti-gay legislation. If it doesn't wind up replacing the national anthem, it'd also make for the perfect Empire theme song.

... we sweat for a nickel and a dime, turn it into an empire.

Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta

Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta von exclusiveviralvideos

A: Kendrick Lamar
S: King Kunta
C: To Pimp A Butterfly

His latest album To Pimp A Buterfly broke the record of most streamed album on its day of release, 9.6 million streames! Way to go, I'd say. Same goes for this new video, which was filmed in proper style, in Compton.

... the funk shall be within you.

The Lone Bellow - The One You Should've Let Go

A: The Lone Bellow
S: The One You Should've Let Go
C: The One You Should've Let Go - Single


The Lone Bellow is one of those bands that, as good as their records are, their live shows are even better. Use words like sensational, exuberant, and raucous to describe them. Or try to catch them live - if you can.

... I'm not the one that you were looking for.

The Maccabees - Marks To Prove It

A: The Maccabees
S: Marks To Prove It
C: Marks To Prove It - Single

Guess who has unveiled their new single! And the good news don't stop there. The Maccabees recently revealed that they had finished working on their new and fourth LP: "It's recorded, we're about to finish mixing next week and it'll be out in a few months."

... no one was lonely.

James Bay - Hold Back The River

A: James Bay
S: Hold Back The River
C: Hold Back The River - Single

LOVE.

... let me look in your eyes.

Janelle Monáe Feat. Jidenna - Yoga

Janelle Monáe, Jidenna - Yoga (Audio) von WOOVE

A: Janelle Monáe Feat. Jidenna
S: Yoga
C: Yoga - Single

Forget Kanye's "The New Workout Plan": Next time you're in a yoga session, about one more warrior pose away from fainting, bump this and get empowered by lines like, "you cannot police me, so get off my areola," and kill it!

... I wanna dance, wanna dance all night.

Beck - Country Down

A: Beck
S: Country Down
C: Morning Phase

The most stupidest thing I read about the Beck-Kanye-Beyonce-Grammy controversy was it being racist. Yeah right. Or it was about honouring an artist who wrote 12 albums himself over a woman who needs four writers for one song.

... there's no frame around your picture.

Sufjan Stevens - Should Have Known Better

A: Sufjan Stevens
S: Should Have Known Better
C: CARRIE & LOWELL

Here's the deal. It hasn't been long since I posted the last Sufjan Stevens song on here. But this one is just so absofreakinglutely gorgeous. It's the perfect mixture of optimism with reality, which ends up as a cocktail called melancholy.

... nothing can be changed, the past is still the past.
