Shonen Knife - Daydream Believer

I never really paid much attention to The Monkees, but this is my favourite cover of one of their songs, EVER!! The crazy bitch at 2:38 in this video really takes it over the top for me. RIP Sir Davy...

iamamiwhoami - sever

New iamamiwhoami is always a treat. On Valentine's Day, it's extra special! This newest track/video is possibly the most emotionally moving of their output yet. They keep pulling me in close and forcing me to love them even more than before. Further good news is that the next single "drops" is scheduled to drop on Feb. 29!! Now that is news!!!

Brittle Stars - Souvenir

All the youtube comments are right, this is one of the best covers I know and also taken from one of the greatest cover compilations ever: "Pretending to See the Future: A Tribute to OMD" released on Shelflife Records back in 2001. Sadly, Brittle Stars broke-up the same year.
This is dedicated to my sissyboo Crystal.

Charlotte Thorstvedt - Arrhythmia

My favourite Norwegian Margaret Berger does some mighty fine guest vocals on this mighty fine pop song by Norwegian DJ-girl Charlotte Thorstvedt. While I love that she's helping out her friends, I really wish she'd finish that third album already! Now dance!

Amanda Mair - Sense

The very young, very pretty, very AWESOME Amanda Mair has just released the first video from her debut album. I hate her (by hate, I mean love) for being so amazing at such a young age!! 

Of all the signs she holds in this video the one that really made me smile is "Who is Kate Bush?"!! HA!!

For Only U

Slow motion kittens rule!! And so does Juvelen's synth pop pleasure single "For Only U"...This song is taken from his "Make U Move" EP from last year. Enjoy!

Andrew in Drag

It's horrible that I have waited this long to post this video here, considering this "other" favourite band of mine NEVER releases videos (I believe this to be only their third EVER!) Well, it's awesome and the song makes me long for this return to synths album even more! The Magnetic Fields...love always,



The new album "Love at the Bottom of the Sea" comes out on Merge (US) and Domino (UK) on March 6th & 5th, respectively!

Phèdre - Ode to the Swinger

Oooh, this album may just be gettin' better and better. Here's another from Phèdre! I must admit, I like this video a whole lot more than the other!! The song itself may not be as immediately enthralling, but its wackiness wins me over in the end!

Phèdre

Let's start the month of Loooove off with a kinky dirty video!
Phèdre is a new Canadian band featuring members of Hooded Fang and Doldrums. The lead dude's voice reminds me a bit of Ethan from Baby Dayliner, I love! I actually think this video is quite nasty but love love love the song, so enjoy...whilst bathing your boobies all up in that honey!



Their debut album (self-titled) is released on Feb 14, via Daps Records.
