Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There’s Someone
This one goes out to all you lonely people.
Little Scout - Go Quietly
hey you should listen to this it’s my sister’s housemate’s band and they’re really good okay thanks
Review: Madonna - Give Me All Your Luvin' (feat. M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj)
I was sceptical of Luvin’, simply because previous collaborations, namely those with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, have produced songs as messy and hard to bear as Lourdes’ eyebrows.
Review of Justin Bieber's new single 'Mistletoe'
Justin Bieber is really interesting because outside of Lady Gaga he has the most cultivated image in pop music. And when I make fun of people, I at least like to do it with context. That said, he is a dumb little boy who is now growing up without any real perception of the world so at least Gaga has that on him. They share a lot of similarities which I explore in the post. I also regret not making the joke I had about him eventually knocking up Miley Cyrus because of the whole paternity thing that just sprung up. Please read and reblog if you enjoy this! It’s all I have!
Phantogram - Don’t Move
Holy shit, this song. If you don’t wanna get up and dance to this, there’s something very wrong with you. Wonderful, beatsy, catchy, sample-driven pop.
Review: Hot Chelle Rae - Tonight Tonight
There are just too many things I hate about this band.
You can learn all you need to know about the band in a few ways:
- That name, that sounds like the name of the soup of the day at a dingy seafood restaurant that will inevitably give you food poisoning.
- The story of their name, that indicates that they think Hot Chelle Rae doesn’t just sound like the most poorly conceived nail polish colour.
- The following sentence – both its composition and content – from their Wikipedia page: “Hot Chelle Rae recently performed on a episode of So Random.”
- Their next album will be named ‘Whatever’. Like, you know, ‘Whatever’.
- Finally, and most importantly, their public image. This part deserves more than just its own number in a list, because there’s a hell of a lot to cover.
Beirut - The Rip Tide
(stunning, stunning song)
Neon Indian - Polish Girl
St. Vincent - Marry Me
Title track from her first album (named for the line from Arrested Development).
So marry me, John
Marry me, John I’ll be so good to you
You won’t realize I’m gone
You won’t realize I’m gone
As for me, I have to agree
I’m as fickle as a paper doll being kicked by the wind
When I touch down again I’ll be in someone else’s arms
Oh John, come on
We’ll do what married people do
Oh John, come on
(I don’t care
what you want
I want to
Marry you)
We’ll do what Mary and Joseph did
Without the kid
st. vincent - marrow
can never get enough of this song
so pretty, so filthy, so creepy, so right
seriously, she named her first album after an arrested development quote. SERIOUSLY.
