Sean Bones- Lets Do Somethin' Else

A: Sean Bones
S: Lets Do Somethin' Else
C: Rings

I guess the writing is on the wall, literally. Apparently, it all started with swim trunks, a Summer Reading ‘zine and sunscreen. Oh, and a 7-inch; we can’t forgot that part. The result is an easy, breezy mission statement for Sean Bones, a project he describes as “music that might cause people to scratch their heads a bit, only to realize that scratching their heads would make a good dance move.” Indeed.

Arcade Fire - City With No Children

A: Arcade Fire
S: City With No Children
C: The Suburbs

In order to celebrate the third Arcade Fire album, which was released on monday, here my favorite track of it. Basically, the whole album is great and worth buying, like any other Arcade Fire album. But flickering through my iTunes library this morning, I have to say that The National remains the best album 2010 so far, for me, personally, of course. I would never compare one band to another because each one is defined within its own rights. Anyway, buy The Suburbs, buy it now.

Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now

A: Tiffany
S: I Think We're Alone Now
C: Tiffany

Since we're doing all things '80s and I can't be bothered searching the hottest shizzle du jour today, there is one song that we shall not forget about. And one question that has to be raised: was that video ever really happening? To quote some user of youtube: The 80's were so much better the first time around. Kids these days can try to copy the clothes and replicate the music, but they'll never get it quite right. You just can't reproduce the energy, the fun, and the attitude of the 80's. If you were lucky enough to have experienced it, you know what I'm talking about. And if you weren't, well, I just feel sorry for you.
Ääähm. Amen.

Norman Palm - Easy

A: Norman Palm
S: Easy
C: Shore To Shore

From yesterday's boring I'll take you to today's easy. There is more to Norman Palm than being easy, it is the simplicity of his songs that is captivating in its own right. In short, as in life, sometimes when you produce songs, it is the small stuff that has the biggest impact on us. I hope you get the picture of what I mean, otherwise you will need to buy the whole album. Now.

The Pierces - Boring

A: The Pierces
S: Boring
C: Thirteen Tales Of Love And Revenge

Now here are the Pierces with their theory of boredom, and then there is January Jones as Betty Francis in Mad Men Season 3, who tells her daughter that only boring people are bored. You pick your side. They are both super sexy anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Robyn - Hang With Me

A: Robyn
S: Hang With Me
C: Body Talk Pt. 2 (out 06.09.10)

Loving this. Loving the song, loving the video, loving the hair and loving the earphones. There were times when Lady Robyn was all about 'wanting to be', now she just 'is', and it is so much better. Body Talk Part 2 is out next month. I'll keep you posted on all things Robyn to come. Can't believe she was the opening act for that woman (Madonna) on her last tour - wait another couple of years and it will be the other way round.

Miniature Tigers - Cannibal Queen

A: Miniature Tigers
S: Cannibal Queen
C: Tell it to the Volcano

Hmm, where should we start here? The part where Miniature Tigers stay up all night with Neon Indian, fine-tuning the laser-like synths of their infected sound? Yeah, that sounds about right. The band’s come a long way since Rolling Stone named them one of MySpace’s 25 best artists in late 2006 and this video was shot in the same firehouse as Ghostbusters, by the way.
