« Previous EntriesSam Sparro on iTunes US!
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Finally Sam Sparro is on iTunes in the US! It only took about 3 months after the release of his album on iTunes UK. Sadly it was my mother (thanks again mom!) who informed me that he was the single of the week on iTunes….man, I really got to stop working so much! […]

Saturday, May 31st, 2008I just heard this song in the Wii Fit commercial by British band Friendly Fires. The song is “On Bored”.
I kinda like it…it’s Beckish.

Swiss Miss, Stefanie Heinzmann
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Ok, so even though Stefanie Heinzmann is most likely one of those manufactured artists that was set into motion after the success of Amy Winehouse (ex. Duffy), she isn’t half bad, and she is Swiss!. At first listen the track started out very similar to that of The Roots rework of Cody Chestnutt’s “The […]
Ladyhawke
Thursday, April 24th, 2008It’s such a beautiful day out today so I felt like a nice little dancy pop tune (is that actually a word?) from Ladyhawke. Haven’t listened to this in awhile but it just evokes that summer feel. Thanks to Pinglewood for the track.
Rubies
Friday, April 11th, 2008So I like to think of Rubies as honarary Swedes…and you already know my affinity for the Swedes and their music. Signed to Tellé records in the Norway, these Cali girls recorded part of their folky-electro-pop album in Sweden and do a majority of their tours there as well. Their debut album “Explode […]
The Ting Tings
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Ok, so I know I’m like really behind on posting The Ting Tings, but honestly I’m just not sure how I feel about them. However, since I keep seeing them everywhere I might as well give you the opportunity to see what all the talk is about and judge for yourself. I think […]
Thats Not My Name by The Ting Tings: Play Now | Play in Popup Great DJ by The Ting Tings: Play Now | Play in PopupLate of the Pier
Monday, March 17th, 2008Ever since working a She Wants Revenge concert in L.A. sometime ago, I have taken a serious liking to the 80’s synth pop. Yeah, I know it’s odd, but what can I say, it makes me want to dance. Although nowhere near the darkwave sound of the afore mentioned, Late of the Pier […]
Emily King at Solomon’s Porch
Thursday, March 13th, 2008I’m glad to see that even after being nominated for a Grammy, Emily King is still performing at the locals spots she started out at. It was about 2 years ago when a friend of mine who had been interning at J Records first let me listen to her album. I was immediatley […]
Duffy
Saturday, March 8th, 2008I’m feeling a little soulful today, and Welsh singer Duffy knows just how to hit the spot. Leading off “Mercy” with an acoustic basseline that could easily be a chopped up version of the one found in “Stand By Me”, this song takes you straight back to the days of twisting and shouting.
