MGMT - It's Working - XFM Week 4

A: MGMT
S: It's Working
C: Congratulations

Ehrm, when did they start wearing clothes? I thought they will run around half naked forever and for always. Never mind. MGMT stands for management, for all those of you who didn't know already.
And you all can stand in line online to win tickets to see MGMT live at XFM's BestNonFest. Simply head over to facebook and start wining tickets and all sorts of stuff.

Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This - XFM Week 3

A: Manic Street Preachers
S: If You Tolerate This
C: This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours

This is my favorite Manic Street Preachers song, tell me yours. The Preachers still hold pop music's biggest mystery, which is, in fact, super creepy: in 1995, the night before an U.S. tour start, Richey Edwards disappeared from his hotel room and hasn't been found or seen again. Ever.

Biffy Clyro - Many of Horror - XFM Week 2

A: Biffy Clyro
S: Many of Horror
C: Only Revolutions

There was a certain time last year, when a certain line from a certain song was on constant repeat on my walkman: when you hit me, hit me hard. Pure pure genius. Take a strong feeling and put it into simple words, that's all you need to be a good song-writer. Makes me wonder why there aren't more strong lyrics around.

Mumford & Sons - The Cave - XFM Week 1

A: Mumford & Sons
S: The Cave
C: Sigh No More

For me personally, still the best new band of 2009. The members of Mumford & Sons share a common purpose: to make music that matters, without taking themselves too seriously. Four young men from West London in their early twenties, they have fire in their bellies, romance in their hearts, and rapture in their masterful, melancholy voices. I think that works mighty fine.

Chromatics - Hands In The Dark

A: Chromatics
S: Hands In The Dark
C: After Dark

See, yesterday the writing was on the wall, today it is on the floor. This is how quickly things can change. Anyway, I will keep this one short and dedicate the song to a certain fella in a certain city called Berlin, who's taste in music is somewhat darker than mine, I've been told. Actually not that much darker, it is just that I like the ladies slutty and the boys depressed, not the other way round.
