Die Schwarzwälder Kirschtorten - Glück gehabt

A: Die Schwarzwälder Kirschtorten
S: Glück gehabt

Of all the hundreds of thousands of reasons that already make you want to learn German, mainly unique words like Zeitgeist and Schadenfreude oder Kummerspeck, there now is one more, as for cynical lyrics, this is hard to beat.

... da war schon wieder fast Schicht im Schacht.

Beyoncé - Sandcastles

A: Beyoncé
S: Sandcastles

As we count down to the Oscars tonight, let's go back to the best part of the Grammys, which was pure gold. The upside of a visual album is you can gradually release a video for every single song. Super handy, but I guess the novelty is rather low.

... every promise don't work out that way.

Bruce Woolley & Polly Scattergood with The Radio Science Orchestra - Video Killed the Radio Star

A: Bruce Woolley & Polly Scattergood with The Radio Science Orchestra
S: Video Killed the Radio Star

All OMG and so WTF, this might just simply be the bestest cover in the world, ever. Hear The Buggles’ stone-cold 80s classic like you've never heard it before.

... we can't rewind we've gone to far.

Ella Vos - White Noise

A: Ella Vos
S: White Noise

In case you were looking for a bang to finish off this week in style, look no further. Ella Vos' White Noise is the goddess that won't just rock but reign your Friday. 

... watch the clock tick and fade.

Jeremy Jay - Gallop

A: Jeremy Jay
S: Gallop

Jeremy Jay is an alternative rock American musician and singer-songwriter. And with my love for horses and ponies, I'm just going to leave this here and hope it will help you gallop through the day.

... sometimes we gallop through the rain.

2raumwohnung - Somebody Lonely And Me

A: 2raumwohnung
S: Somebody Lonely And Me

Everybody's favourite apartment is back. And there is more where this one came from, as the band announced the release of a double concept album for summer, called Tag Und Nacht. By the looks of it you'll find two different versions of every song.

... die Brücke brannte.

Milky Chance - Doing Good

A: Milky Chance
S: Doing Good

The German duo announced their album Blossom - out on 17 March - along with Doing Good. The video takes a leisurely trip round San Francisco as day turns to night and draws on that moment you tell someone you're 'fine' when really... well, you're not.

... calling you lovable.

Lana Del Rey - Love

A: Lana Del Rey
S: Love

La Rey has unveiled her surprise new single Love off her forthcoming, as-yet-untitled album, the singer's first song in nearly 16 months. “I made my first four albums for me, but this one is for my fans and about where I hope we are all headed," she said in a statement.

... it's enough just to make you feel crazy.

The Head and the Heart - Rhythm & Blues

A: The Head and the Heart
S: Rhythm & Blues

After going nostalgic and sentimental for the All We Ever Knew video, The Head and the Heart  decided to team up with the director Michael Reich, for this track: "Michael ended up creating something truly weird, inspiring and ultimately, US, through the process."

... won't you let me turn you on.

Sturgill Simpson - All Around You

A: Sturgill Simpson
S: All Around You

Days after performing All Around You at the 2017 Grammy Awards, Sturgill Simpson has released a new music video for the single, addressing Trumpi's wall and featuring a faceless politician and a border wall breached by a glowing heart doorway.

... there will be nights that go on forever.

Hair - Let the Sunshine In

A: Hair
S: Let the Sunshine In

You might ask why, but let me ask you why not? The world is in turmoil once again and Syria might just be another Vietnam down the line. So here we are, exactly 50 years after its first release, being more relevant than ever.

... silence tells me secretly everything.

Shannon and the Clams - Rip Van Winkle

A: Shannon and the Clams
S: Rip Van Winkle

Thank hell, now that Valentine's Day is over we can all stop being romantic and start getting our freak on again. Here to get you in the mood is the perfect band for that, fresh out of a garage in Oakland. So today, go the Shannon way.

... you're sleeping all your moments away.

DJ Khaled Feat. Beyonce & Jay Z - Shining

A: DJ Khaled Feat. Beyonce & Jay Z 
S: Shining

Of course Beyoncé knew she’d lose to Adele. At precisely the moment at which Adele took the stage to accept the Album of the Year award and tell the world that Beyoncé deserved the honor instead, the Knowles-Carter operation was detonating its quiet victory bomb on Jay Z’s streaming service: Shining.

... mouth talkin' dirty but my lips so clean.

Hercules & Love Affair - Controller

A: Hercules & Love Affair
S: Controller

Hercules and his Love Affair last released an album in 2014, with the emotional The Feast of the Broken Heart. Today, the project has returned with The Horrors's singer Faris Badwan for the steamy Controller. Over an industrial beat, Badwan begs for a little submission: Use me/ Use me, that's all I want.

... show me who's on top.

Kings Of Leon - Reverend

A: Kings Of Leon
S: Reverend

Remember the Waste a Moment video? A strange affair, a pileup of odd images – including eyeballs doused in flames, a dinosaur and a ponytailed assassin – with no explanation. The group extended the story line in the clip for Find Me, and their new Reverend video is the latest installment in this weird, small-town drama.

... your heart will never let it go.

Depeche Mode - Where's The Revolution

A: Depeche Mode
S: Where's the Revolution

Depeche Mode strike an iron-fisted pose in the stark new video for Where's the Revolution off their upcoming album, Spirit. The predominately black-and-white clip is cut through with a dark sense of humor, from Dave Gahan's dictatorial flourishes to the lock-step chugging he, Andrew Fletcher and Martin Gore do while donning bushy Karl Marx beards.

... you’re letting me down.

M.I.A. - P.O.W.A

A: M.I.A.
S: P.O.W.A

M.I.A’s right: She’s no Rihanna, Madonna, Mariah, or Ariana because all of those powerful women have at least one stinker of a music video in their repertoire. Not M.I.A., who rejected all comparisons to her pop-star peers in new song P.O.W.A. just yesterday. W.A.T.C.H. I.T.

... throw up my finger and I'm taking on the tower.

Grossstadtgeflüster - Fickt-Euch-Allee

A: Grossstadtgeflüster
S: Fickt-Euch-Allee

From Berlin with Love.

... mach Urlaub auf den Misanthropen.

Wild Beasts - Alpha Female

A: Wild Beasts
S: Alpha Female

After hearing Wild Beasts’ latest single Alpha Female, director Sasha Rainbow was inspired to shoot one of the growing female skateboarding scenes outside of the western world. In Afghanistan, Cambodia, and India, skating has not been solidified as a male sport and has had a massive cultural impact, teaching values about self-empowerment through skateboarding.”Who skate the world? Exactly.

... I’ll be right behind you.

Bantug - Circles

A: Bantug
S: Circles

Fresh of Nashville's new band waggon comes an act called Bantug. So far so good, and having said that, that's about all that can officially be said. Luckily, the music speaks for itself, sparking little thoughts in your head, reminding you of a time called summer.

... I get scared of what I once was.

Lady Gaga - Super Bowl Halftime Show

A: Lady Gaga
S: Super Bowl Halftime Show

Just to make sure you can't say you didn't see it, here's that halftime show that will surely outshine Coldplay's effort. Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show reminded America she’s a star - it was political, weird, dazzling, and Gaga.

... this land is your land.

Park Hotel - Gone As A Friend

A: Park Hotel
S: Gone As A Friend

Park Hotel are a post-electronic dance band based in London, exploring the mirrorball-noir territory between alternative arena electronica and wired downtown songwriting. ‘Gone As A Friend’ is their frankly terrific debut, laced as it is with supercool boy / girl vocals and a lovely supple groove.


... I am gone as a friend.

Vitalic Feat. Mark Kerr - Use It Or Lose It

A: Vitalic Feat. Mark Kerr
S: Use It Or Lose It

Bonjour freshness. In case you didn't haven't heard already, there is a new Vitalic record in town, called Voyager. There are glimpses of his old energy on it, while maybe he's dialed back on the maximalist energy that made his dancefloor anthems radiate.

... I just need space.

Regina Spektor - Black and White

A: Regina Spektor
S: Black and White

La Spektor breathes life back into Chicago's famed, but long-closed Uptown Theater in the new video for Black and White. The song appears on Spektor's latest album, Remember Us to Life which arrived last September.

...  when you left I closed the door.
