Moullinex & Peaches - Maniac

A: Moullinex & Peaches
S: Maniac
C: Casablanca Reworks

This might just be nothing less than simply the best version of this song. As in ever. As for the video, I've been told that you shouldn't watch it when your boss is standing behind you. Sorry, should I have mentioned this earlier? Then again, depending on the boss, you might just score an extra point or two. I know that I totally would.

... and she's dancing like she's never danced before.

Alex Turner - Piledriver Waltz

A: Alex Turner
S: Piledriver Waltz
C: Submarine - EP

Alex Turner, singer of the fantastic Arctic Monkeys, wrote a song or two (actually it was 6) for the movie Submarine, released in 2010. Some might know this, some might not. Anyway, the Brit Awards nominations are out, and NME as well as my humble self aren't too impressed, and NME crowned the Submarine EP as 2011's best - so here you go.

... your waitress was miserable - and so was your food.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Pictures

A: Benjamin Francis Leftwich
S: Pictures
C: Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm

There are some artists I post on here and then eventually forget about, because the albums take forever to be released. Well and then I eventually rediscover some of them. Like Benjamin Francis Leftwich, for example. I'm a bit like that with real people too, I think, which is probably not the most sociable thing to admit, but I'll do it anyway.

... if you are afraid dont be - I have the whole thing planned.

We Have Band - Where Are Your People?

We Have Band - Where Are Your People? (Official Music Video) from We Have Band on Vimeo.

A: We Have Band
S: Where Are Your People?
C: Ternion (out 29.01.12)

How very funny, now I won't get political on this blog of mine, but this song sounds like it has been written for that italian captain sinking that cruise ship. It's all there, lyricwise: YOU'RE RUNNING FROM YOUR PEOPLE, and: HERE IN THE COLD WITH A BREEZE WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU, plus: FLEEING THE SCENE OF THE CRIME BUT WE WILL FIND YOU.

... jump in the fire - empty words and clever games, of which we tire.

DJ Shadow Feat. Little Dragon - Scale It Back

A: DJ Shadow Feat. Little Dragon
S: Scale It Back
C: The Less You Know, The Better

In case you are watching this you needn't worry, the song will start eventually. And end, as well. While the video keeps playing on, having an ending that is even more bizarre, which I love, of course. As well as Little Dragon, this year being the year of Dragons anyway. As for who DJ Shadow is, no need to worry about such details, I think.

... and I thought I heard someone say: Fly far away.

The Cast Of Cheers - Family

A: The Cast Of Cheers
S: Family
C: Chariot

Honestly, I got the Lana Del Rey album today and I can't think of much else, musicwise. But this is the The Cast Of Cheers with their debut single called Family. The Lana album is gorgeous, by the way. So The Cast Of Cheers remind me a bit of the early Arctic Monkeys, attitude-wise. And I love a stop motion video any day anyway.

... my eyes keep moving ever closer to the door.

Ladyhawke - Black, White & Blue

A: Ladyhawke
S: Black, White & Blue
C: Anxiety (out 20.02.12)

This track is new, by the way. So new that there isn't even a video out yet. Anyway, Ladyhawke is Phillipa "Pip" Brown, from New Zealand, and before she was Ladyhawke she formed the band Teenager with Nick Littlemore of Pnau and Empire of the Sun. As for what's up next, the album Anxiety, her second, will be out next month, 20.02.12 to be exact.

... but this is real life, oh no - you can’t fight it.
