Somewhere Between

There’s a Nosaj Thing remix of this track out there. The video’s like if PT Anderson movies were actually good.

Never Never

I’ve really been enjoying this track from Swedish band and Re-Percussions favorite, Little Dragon. I think the video may have influenced this affinity. Gotta appreciate the Japanese-Swedish singer, Yukimi, bobbing  around inside a kaleidoscope.

2010’s looking good so far, especially with all the new albums scheduled for release. Gorillaz’s new album, Plastic Beach, will feature Little Dragon on a track called “To Binge”. Curious to hear what went on in the preceedings and who the main producer for the album is. DanTheAutomator -> Dangermouse -> ?

What’s up with Sweden pumping out all this great music? Little Dragon, The Knife/Fever Ray, Jj, Lykke Li, El Perro Del Mar, Jose Gonzalez, 7 Samurai. Something must be going on in Scandinavia that I don’t know about. Something amazing…

Something To Look Forward To

5 12 2009

At the end of 2008, there was word that the newest Sade studio album would be released in early 2009. Well 2009 came and is on its way out and still nothing. That is, until I saw this. Soldier of Love is Sade’s new album, and sixth release as a band, due out February 8, 2010. It’s been ten years since Lovers Rock came out. I’m curious what Miss Adu and the band will sound like on this new record. They are always on top of their style and have solid records that only need to come out once every ten years. Big Baby Jesus, 2010’s looking good.
