The Vaccines - Post Break-Up Sex

A: The Vaccines
S: Post Break-Up Sex
C: Post Break-Up Sex - Single (out 21.01.11)

I guess sometimes you just need the right title to make a hit: choose a topic everybody is familiar with, that is somewhat peculiar, make sure the word sex is featured in it (as seen with Kings Of Leon and Sex Is On Fire). That is all there is to it, basically. What to add? Right, today is super exciting, because this is the first ever post I write on my new MacBook Air. Then again, it is just a computer, really.

Gypsy & The Cat - Time To Wander

A: Gypsy & The Cat
S: Time To Wander
C: Gilgamesh

Sweet, it is a mini mikro flash trash smash mob gone music video. As every flash mob of any kind, I obviously like and love it. Although there is no competing with the original t-mobile in Liverpool Street station, of course. Have an idea and run with it, is all that I am saying. If you don't have any ideas of your own, copy a good one and declare it a hommage to the original - to get away with it.

Angus and Julia Stone - Hold On

A: Angus and Julia Stone
S: Hold On
C: Down The Way

Buuhu, poor me. I planned to embed 'Big Jet Plane' which is on the same record as this one, maybe a touch nicer, maybe a bit brighter, but defo much more my cup of tea. Simply because I would love to spend my whole life in a big airplane, first class, of course. Right, no but 'Big Jet Plane' was blocked for embedding - what else is new. So we all stay on the ground and hold on. For today, at least.

Mona - Listen To Your Love

A: Mona
S: Listen To Your Love
C: Listen To Your Love - EP

NME said that somebody else said that Mona were called 'Princess Of Leon', which is kind of a compliment, I guess, and offers a great outlook on a successfull future to come. Mona are bound to smash their own distinctive furrow of southern-tinged rock and roll out of your headphones this summer. Listen to the intro of the video: This film should be played loud! The music too, by the way.

Wolf Gang - Lions In Cages

A: Wolf Gang
S: Lions In Cages
C: Lions In Cages - EP

Ok, back to bitchness today. Ehrm business, that is. Literally. Funny, I never even noticed the twist in the bands name until I tried to find their homepage with the help of a web search engine which shall not be named: if you connect the the two words you end up with the german first name Woflgang. Anyway, who started the whole 'dress up in animals costume' trend? They are everywhere these days
!

Wanda Jackson - Shakin' All Over

A: Wanda Jackson
S: Shakin' All Over
C: The Party Ain't Over (out 25.01.11)

Jack White producing Wanda Jackson, sounds a bit like the Jacksons, really. Fresh out of NME's ad page of the week comes this probably most funky collab of the new year to be. Not that I have any clue on any other duets and features and produsets (a mix between productions and sets - don't look it up in the dictionary, I just made it up). It's just that anything Jack does usually turns into right rotten gold.

James Blake - Limit To Your Love

A: James Blake
S: Limit To Your Love
C: James Blake (out 04.02.2011)

Right, it's been posted about everywhere else so I make sure I'll spread it as well. For me, personally, it sounds a bit too much like Antony from the Johnsons who is a bird and has a sister, to be completely originally. But, however, there is obviously room for more than just one artist of the same kind in this world wide music industry... and who am I to judge anybody anyway. Exactly.
