New London

When you hear a new band who have a new album that you love so much and spend so much time listening to, you worry about what the future holds, and whether their next offering can really compare. This has happened to me numerous times in the last couple of years, most notably with Miike Snow and Local Natives. I'm so glad that Bombay Bicycle Club haven't fallen into that trap and have come up with something even more brilliant than before. I can't get bored of this:

Gotye

Who would have thought that a musical fusion of Manu Chao and Sting could be so pleasing on the ears, least of all delivered by a Belgian. Well done Gotye. Your video makes me cringe, but your song remains on constant rotation on my Ipod of late.

See you at Glasto Fyfe

I LIKE I LIKE

FOR JESSICA

THANK YOU MADEYE

Thank you Madeye Mary for bringing this to my attention. I liked Angus and Julia but Lady of the Sunshine does. it. for. me

THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH

Bob Dylan comparisons aside, this guy's brilliant. And yep, he's Swedish.

BEACH HOUSE

It's a travesty that I didn't listen to this band sooner. 'Beach House' seem to have been the words on everybody's lips for such a long time now. I can't think why I ignored them. Shame on me. This song has been on repeat for days now.

BON IVER

I love stumbling across songs that I haven't heard for years and they suddenly sound even better did than they did back then. Blindsided by Bon Iver sounds more amazing to me now than it ever has before. I can never just listen to it once.

WARPAINT

The soundtrack to my ever so slightly dreary week...

BODY LANGUAGE

Body Language- The only little ray of sunlight permeating my library/dissertation hell. The 4 piece from Brooklyn are a welcome reminder that summer's on its way...

Palindrome 'o the day

Madam, in Eden I'm Adam

Charley

This is my favorite thing on Youtube...

Toro's too cool for moi

Toro Y Moi you're tooooo cool for your own good. Your clothes, your hair, your spex, your tunesss. Underneath the Pine is everything I hoped it would be and more....

Antoine

Yeah yeah I know it's old and I hate twats jumping 6 months late onto the youtube bandwagon as much as the next person but this video is priceless. Song's actually worth downloading... I got it on my pod and it gives me no end of joy when it pops up on shuffle. Never has rape been so funny.

El Perro del Mar

Gothenburg, you never fail to disappoint. It seems like every time I hear a new song or band I love they seem to come from Sweden. This is another one to add to the list. BOOM!
