Marina and the Diamonds – Shampain
Remember that episode of Glee when Rachel made that completely over the top, cliched 80’s music video? Apparently so does Marina. (Shampain kind of reminds me of Golfrapp’s newest videos too, don’t you think?) I’m loving Marina and the Diamonds … Continue reading
Shine 2009
Finnish duo Shine 2009 just put out a new 4-track EP entitled Associates, filled with beautiful Balearic pop like “Higher” and “New Rules”, included below. “Higher” has footage from what looks like a 60’s Scandinavian art house film, which fits … Continue reading

The Drums – Down By The Water

Gold Panda – Snow and Taxis
Today I opened my email to see a message from Gold Panda announcing that their new album, Lucky Shiner, came out today, and then I went to my favorite blog, Disco Naïveté, and noticed that they had a new music … Continue reading
Kylie Minogue – Get Outta My Way
Kylie’s got a brand new video out, and at first glance I thought she was getting a little sloppy, using imagery she’s already used in previous videos. But then I remembered how in her performance on America’s Got Talent (yes, … Continue reading
