George Michael - Freedom > The Video!!!



CLASSIC!

Chris Isaac - Wicked Games > The Video!!!



Chris Isaac, Helena Christensen, the beach, in black & white, can it even get better than this?

Rammstein - Stripped (Depeche Mode cover)



As a true Depeche Mode fan, I worship Martin Gore and all his songs. When I discovered the Tribute To The Masses album, I was stunned! Not only their songs still sounded good through different bands but also the artists who did this were also true fans and it shows!

I do have two songs from this Tribute album that I really love:

1- Rammstein - Stripped
2- The Smashing Pumpkins - Never Let Me Down Again

Speaking of the SP, they're back in studio.

Enjoy the strong German accent! I love it!!!

Grace Jones - Walking In The Rain > The Live Video!!!



Grace Jones, "feeling like a woman, looking like a man". "Walking In The Rain" is to me the song that defines Grace Jones. The music sounds like it could have been Serge Gainsbourg's.
Not her most famous song but it is one of my favourites! Enjoy!

Lady GaGa - Telephone feat. Beyonce > The Official Video!



That GaGa is awesome! Another great video from the wonderful Jonas Åkerlund.

Brand New Robyn - Dancing On My Own > Check it out!!!



This is the new Robyn, available mid-June, thoughts?

BLUR IS BACK with a brand new track!!!



Blur is back! Check out their brand new track above!
One of the best Brit Pop acts is back, FINALLY!
With the Gorillaz project sucking all Damon Albarn's time, we weren't very optimistic about a Blur reunion but it happened!!!

According to the Daily Mail (for the whole article CLICK HERE) they will distribute copies of their new single in selected privately owned record shop.
I think it's a great thing because private records shop are a dying breed.

Ellie Goulding - The Brit's Revelation of the Year - Starry Eyed >> The Video!!!



Meet Ellie Goulding, Revelation of the Year at The Brits, climbing up the British charts with her track "Starry Eyed".

I don't particularly like the video but the sound of this track is just brilliant. The rhythm is energetic, the sound effects are amazing, it really gives you this gentle kick that you need in the morning.

Her album Lights is pretty good but unfortunately, and that is my own opinion, all these songs sound a bit the same and there's not much musical differences that makes this album stands out. But "Starry Eyed" is definitely her strongest track!

Way Out West - We Love Machine



I was at home when my boyfriend started to play some of his music.
This sounded really good so I asked him "Hey! What is this?", "It's Way Out West" he replied.

This track is called "We Love Machine" from their 2009 album of the same name.

This is such a real "feel good" song. Perfect for the wonderful shiny days that are now here.

Slash - The Biography


I am currently reading the biography of Slash (Guns'N'Roses, Velvet Revolver) and this is one of the best book that I have read so far this year!

Lots of pictures, details, well written and easy to read. Love it!

Go get it!

The Libertines are back together!


THE LIBERTINES ARE BACK... TOGETHER!!! C'MON!!!

It's been years since they've officially meet up but this time, no secret gig, no "last Libertines reunion ever", Reading and Leeds festivals are booked!!!

This time, it's going to last for a while. But for how long? God only knows. With Pete's drug abuse, he became the unreliable one (which he has been for years).

But best of luck to them!

Now, let's see if I can get us tickets!

Kraftwerk - Autobahn > The official video from 1974!



My boyfriend is into synthpop at the moment. I thought that he'd like to watch what I've just found!

Now you can say "OK, Daft Punk stole the whole concept!"

Owl City - Fireflies > The Video!



The above video is the official version of Owl City's "Fireflies".

I've found this song while listening to KMFM and I instantly fell in love with it. It has this "feel good" vibe about it which I love.

Funny enough, it makes me feel like a teenager again! Love it!

Back from the 20th century

I am back! Didn't have the Internet for a while.
Moved home but here I am!
With a faster connection, new ideas, ready for Spring.

Speaking of which, time for some Spring Cleaning. I need to get rid off all the spam crap people left in here (enlarge your p***s, etc... little do they know, I don't need it).

Thanks a lot for all the nice messages people left me. I am always glad to help with school assignments!

The Smashing Pumpkins - Stand Inside Your Love >>> Video + Lyrics!

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love

Brit Awards 2010: HIGHLIGHTS - KASABIAN - Fire (live) >>> The Video!!!



Great act!

They won the Best British Group of the Year Award.

Funny fact; when the lead singer Meighan ran towards Peter Kay (the host - seen introducing the act in the above video), he just slipped and fell on his derriere while being broadcasted live all around the UK.

Hot Chip - Boy from School >>> The Video!!!


Hot chip - boy from school
envoyé par popefucker. - Regardez la dernière sélection musicale.

When P and I met up in Sthlm for a "Donken fika" on a cold winter day, I told him about Hot Chip. "P., listen to this band. I wanna sound like them!" He never heard of them. He then listened to their album The Warning and this was his feedback: "Boy from School" and "Over and Over" are brilliant! The rest... so so!"

I love the whole album! It's catchy, fun and has such a positive vibe in its overall which makes it one of my favourite summer albums. The Warning is a great album for the gym, barbecues, listening while travelling. It is just so light full of laughter that it is impossible to feel depressed once you've finished it.

Robbie Williams - Brit Awards 2010 performance + Lifetime Achievement Award!!!



I know somebody who just luuuuuuuuuuuuv Mr Williams! Who doesn't anyway???

Valentine's day songs, can't find any really...!



I have been looking for that Valentine's Day romantic kind of songs but wasn't really inspired.
What really inspired me was the Smashing Pumpkins's "Ava Adore". But with the intro "It's you that I adore, You'll always be my whore", I thought that my boyfriend might not like it. Even though the song is brilliant: the guitar is loud, the lyrics are good. You really feel something. It's just that intro that might turn him off (and probably Billy Corgan's voice as well).

Then I thought about "Today", again from the Smashing Pumpkins. Not bad but not my first choice for a cuddle. At least I didn't fall for Daniel Beddingfield's cheesy "If You're Not The One" song that might have been played over and over again at weddings. Or even Robbie William's "Angel" over-played at funerals!

Then I thought, let's go 70s with 10CC's "I'm Not In Love" but what if Boyfriend thinks I don't love him anymore? A little bit further in time was "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes" from Korgis. It's nice, relaxing but again, damn cheesy!

Scissor Sisters have a couple of great songs on their first studio album called... ermm... Scissor Sisters. Songs like "It Can't Come Quickly Enough"; "Laura" and "Return to Oz" are musically awesome but the lyrics are far from being romantic. For example, their song "Return to Oz" is about drug abuse within the Gay community.

And just before dark, then came a briliant idea: ZERO7! Why haven't thought about it earlier???? Their whole abum When It Falls is a triumph of love. Perfect for a romantic night in with Boyfriend. Ending the album with Morcheeba's "The Sea" and then Groove Armada's "My Friend", this is going to be a great night!

If there is ONE song I would recommend for that type of "evening", this would be Zero7's "Over Our Heads". This songs is really special!

What is your favourite love song of all time?
