New York Vacation Day 2.
They Might Be Giants awesome cover of Cub's "New York City"! I'll never forget how sad I was when I found out this was a cover. It's far superior to the original and a definite highlight from "Factory Showroom"!

Ramona Lisa - Dominic
Ramona Lisa is Caroline Polachek from Chairlift. Her new solo album "Arcadia" is released tomorrow and it's quite good! There are some strange experimental moments, but when the odd pop numbers hit, they hit with perfection!! And there are plenty! "Dominic" is one of those such poppier moments. Enjoy!

Gem Club - Polly
Gem Club make very slow-burning, emotional music. "Polly" from their latest album "In Roses" is just plain depressing. Watch the haunting video and feel the melancholy...

Slottet - A Brand New Heart / Daydream
I was just wondering last week whatever happened to Slottet (proud creators of one of my Top EPs of 2011!) and today when randomly playing my entire music collection, their track "Oh No" popped up and made me bopbopbop! Of course, I immediately ran over to their Facebook to discover that not only did they have new songs up, but that they're giving them away as free downloads!! Talk about awesomeness!!
Here are a couple of the songs, the poptastic and newest track "A Brand New Heart" and slow-burning beauty "Daydream"! Make sure you listen to all the new tracks too...they're all awesome!!

Suede - Let Go
HAPPY RECORD STORE DAY 2014!!! There is really only ONE release that I want more than any other and that is Suede's "Let Go" 7"-single release! It was originally released in Sweden on CD but never on vinyl, nor as an "official" single. Suede are surely just teasing me since there is adequate space in their just released 7" singles box set (that I happily own) for the "Let Go" single! Someone in the UK... buy one for me...please!!!!

Ji Nilsson & Marlene - Love You Anyway
The joy of now having a sister in the blog universe is that I can steal...I mean, be inspired by her blog postings! Featured on her awesome new all-Swedish music blog (Swedes Are Sweet) a couple days ago, comes Ji Nilsson & Marlene's synth pop gem for International Women's Day!

Fujiya & Miyagi - Flaws
Bringing your sound back to a more synth-based style is always a good idea in my book. Seems that's what Fujiya & Miyagi have done for their new album "Artificial Sweeteners" and I love it!! Can't wait for it's release next month!

Kylie Minogue - I Was Gonna Cancel (The Presets Remix)
"I Was Gonna Cancel" is definitely the best song off of Kylie's newest album "Kiss Me Once".
The Presets were asked to remix it and they've done a great job!!

Sherry Vine & Bianca del Rio - Hot Mess
The hilarious Sherry Vine & only-queen-deserving-of-winning-RuPaul's-Drag-Race-Season-6 Bianca del Rio have made a lovely little song called "Hot Mess"...named after Bianca & Lady Bunny's weekly drag spectacular in New York! The video also features The Glamazons, a pop group I've never heard of but based on their dance moves, must get to know soon!

Weeping Willows - We're in Different Places
I cannot believe it's been 7 years since the last Weeping Willows album!! Lead singer Magnus Carlson (who has released quite a few solo albums since the last WW release) has one of the most gorgeous voices around! Their latest album "The Time Has Come" was released last week and this track below is quite lovely!
