Starry Nights

After the last post's somewhat Debbie Downer-esque songs, I'm going to turn the knob UPSIDE and present a block of stars, amore', Earl Gray tea on Sunday mornings, whimsical, Hayden Christensen, Gypsy Punk dances & Grease lightening fun songs...(lala these are a few of my favoooorite things lala)..



It shouldn't have taken me so long to premiere this song. But, ALAS it's in your ears...
I wish I could tell you about them, but I'm at a loss of identity. Just go to myspace.com/bagraiders

This band is too new to be so good. They opened for Amy Winehouse in their hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark (so at least we know why their music is so happy), they've already been featured in an Apple commercial AND Gnarls Barkley is on their top 20 friends on Myspace (actually, that means nothing to but Yay Gnarls Barkley!) From my understanding, they don't even have a full album yet! So just check out their website, www.theasteroidgalaxytour.com for updates

For all you Gogol Bordello lovers, I present to you...FIREWATER! And for more Gypsy Punk, check out Balkan Beat Box, a band formed by an EX Gogol Bordello band members (boo or yay?)

For the ultimate collaboration album, check out "In the Reins-EP," an album by Calexico and Iron & Wine. It's symbolizes beautiful loneliness. 

Sadly, after Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" single, the world turned against them. This song is one of my favorites from 2008, and their album "The Odd Couple" was no disappointment. If you're into the hand-clapping, bluesy, funk sound, you'll definitely reconsider supporting these guys. 

I GOT KLAXONS FEVER! HEY! YOU GOT KLAXONS FEVaaaaah! 

Put on dem roller skates cause this one takes me back to my days in the disco rinks (well, at least that's what I would've said if I was actually alive in the 70's)...oh shurup it's just a really fun song...

This girl is BADASS! She released her debut album "Santogold" this year and BAM! she's soon to replace M.I.A. (who the masses killed after Paper Planes...& never recognized for her other sweet tunes). She's dub, she's reggae, she's new wave, she's Santogold (TADAAAA!) Check her out www.myspace.com/santogold



That's it for now. BE GONE. <3
