Modeselektor Feat. Thom Yorke - Shipwreck

A: Modeselektor Feat. Thom Yorke
S: Shipwreck
C: Monkeytown

Add a bit of Thom Yorke and it is almost impossible to go wrong. Let me correct this: It is impossible to go wrong. Shipwreck is taken from Berlin duo Modeselektor's current album Monkeytown, which shows their full forced return to club-boiling beats all aound the globe - at least that is how their record company sees it.

... you flat fall - you blank yourself.

Apparat Feat. Soap & Skin - Goodbye

A: Apparat Feat. Soap & Skin
S: Goodbye

Knowing that most of us like Sundays (I don't), this was an obvious choice, guessing that we all love Drive, the movie, and Ryan, the actor. Do I know anybody who doesn't like him? Honestly, I don't think so. So anyway, the soundtrack is obviously an important party of the movie, and it should, because it's ace.

... don't tell me why - kiss me goodbye.

The Donnies The Amys - Boxer + Clover

A: The Donnies The Amys
S: Boxer + Clover
C: The Donnies The Amys

It's The Donnies The Amys! You can go for a shortcut and call them TDTA. They are an indie pop band from Echo Park, California. And it gets better, or worse. They only have 247 likes on that book called face. I haven't got a clue how that's possible. Maybe the lack of fancyness in their video is responsible for that, but the music on the album makes up for it, ten times! 

... lonely heart - here’s the message i’ve been trying to send to you.

The Young Professionals - Deserve

A: The Young Professionals
S:  Deserve
C: 9:00 To 17:00, 17:00 To Whenever

Israel's hippest hipsters are back. Not that they ever went away since releasing their debut '9:00 To 17:00, 17:00 To Whenever' in February. A record that I still love, three months in, which happens rarely enough. It's completely conceptual, with the songs ranging in moods from 9:00 to 17:00, and from 17:00 to whenever - yeah, what a surprise, given the album title. As I said, completely conceptual.

... you can trick me into anything - if you shine away.

Thomas Azier - Red Eyes

A: Thomas Azier
S: Red Eyes
C: Hylas 001

Who's that boy? Lalala, lalala... It's Thomas Azier, who is a pop-electronic music artist, based in Berlin. Quote: “I write so many melodies always end up with too many in the end, resulting in an orgy of melodies; I love that moment when everything comes together and it seems to fit.” - Azier. As for me, I totally get where he is coming from: I love an orgy every now and then, too. As long as it's musical.


... you feel the sweat against your skin - the mess you're in.

Bastille - Sleepsong

A: Bastille
S: Sleepsong
C: Overjoyed - EP

It's Bastille! Again, I know. This might come as a surprise, but I've decided to push and hype Bastille. As in so 2012. Because I like the sound of it. And because I can't seem to find much information about it. So I can write all sorts of things about Bastille and you just have to believe it. Like: Bastille used to be a sheep on the moon. Farming a farm. Which went bankrupt.

... it's what you feel - but can't articulate out loud.

Tennis - My Better Self

A: Tennis
S: My Better Self
C: Young And Old

It's Tennis! Honestly, who picks Tennis as a stage name? Well they did, obviously. Who they are? An American indie pop band from Denver made up of husband-and-wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. I don't get couples working together. But it seems to work in this case. So maybe I don't get couples at all. As for this, I am liking the song, and I am loving the video.

... I do not know - but meaning comes and it goes.
