One of the PR companies we have been working with sent over this group (three girls) a couple of days ago and were eager to us to throw these girls a review. As long as we fall in love with the music we are more than happy to oblige! And these these three girls from Scandinavia are hot hot hot!
At first listen I thought they had a bit more of an M.I.A. meets Peaches sound, then the more I listened I realized they had more of a CSS meets The… Read more »

Prior to last week, I’d never heard of Micky Green. Then, by chance, the (second) video for her song “Oh!” came across my laptop screen, and I decided to give it a chance and take a listen.
The simple beat, finger snapping and smooth vocals were soothing to my ears, and a nice break from the usual boom-boom-boom bass I’m often zoning out to. I found her album, and was very nicely surprised by what it offered.
White T-Shirt is a modern, yet bare bones, collection of songs. Each somewhat subtle and haunting,… Read more »

If you don’t know who Roisin Murphy is,
I won’t be surprised. My lack of surprise shall be mixed with a little sadness and a little excitement. Sadness that Murphy’s name and music haven’t caught on fire the way they should; excitement because here’s my chance to plug/plug/plug.
Raise your hands if you remembered Moloko. No? “Do you like my tight sweater?” No? Fair enough. Well, Murphy and boyfriend Mark Brydon formed together in 1994 for what was just really a goof in the studio. However, a label picked up their… Read more »

They describe themselves as Electro/Pop/New Wave and hail from Australia. I believe they could be the discovery of the year. And for now, you only get 30 seconds. Come back on Monday for a proper introduction. Read more »

… and listen up!
Rarely, at least for me, does an artist live fully up to the hype that they receive; especially when they are so readily praised by almost everyone under the sun. I seem to be one of those people that often “doesn’t get it” while others are clearly seeing something that I do not; or perhaps I am just more skeptical to call someone the “next big thing” because I believe that title should be reserved for only those that truly are worthy of being amongst one of… Read more »

I often have my iPod on shuffle, regardless of where I may be at that moment. Whether it be in the shower, chilling in my bedroom, driving, generally being sexy, I never know what song may become part of the soundtrack to my life.
Shuffle is great, and I regularly find myself rediscovering things I had only gently paid attention to in years past. Here I’d like to recommend some nice finds, refound during the shuffle that is my life.

I casually decided to pick up Robin Thicke’s sophomore release, The Evolution of Robin Thicke, around Easter of last year. Eighteen months later, it is one of my favorite albums by a male artist, perhaps ever. I was surprised and delighted when I found out “Magic” was being released as the first single from his third album, Something Else
The opening strings are just brilliant, and the smooth soul refrains throughout this R&B/Pop confection just do not disappoint. I love the music, melody and lyrics. Thicke is basically singing to his… Read more »

I got the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly in the mail today and they had an article featuring Jessica Simpson, one of the most loathed celebrity personalities in pop culture today. Although she is so lambasted and generally loathsome, I found myself looking her up on my iPod. I was surprised to find that I had thirty-seven songs by her in my fingertips! I’m not sure if that’s something to be admitting to the free world, but alas, it is what it is.
There have been times in my life when… Read more »

Keytar + Synth + Beats = ♥
If this doesn’t take your rainy days and Mondays away … I promise to personally mail you a Xanax. Je suis trés trés allumé.
They call themselves Grafton Primary. Gee, I’m starting to think Australia is giving Sweeden a run for it’s money … sexyelectrobeatishly speaking.
