I still get goosebumps every time I listen to anything Hurts make. Right now I love this cover of Kylie Minogue‘s Confide in Me – she appears on their debut album Happiness too which is out on 6 September. You can pre-order Happiness from Amazon. In the meantime check out the Cajón on this:
He singeth. He’s still scared of his own voice though – hiding it under effects – but Mark Ronson‘s vocals are pretty good from what I can hear on his new track Lost It (In The End). Mark has done it again though. It is an awesome tune. This album is shaping up to be [...]
I’m a huge fan of Wired UK – but never have I expected to find decent music within the geek bible. Yet, tucked away in a corner of one of Wired’s pages, I found a snippet about a young British girl they predict will soon be storming all over our charts. Wired are famously prophetic [...]

Student debt sucks. I finished attempting to increase my brain capacity over four years ago and am still about as close as world peace to paying it off. To avoid paying it back I may soon take the approach of the members of DOM and remove my surname from the face of the earth. Erik, [...]
Synths and glam may have been part of my diet as an 80s child but I never totally fell in love with 80s music. It’s only now – and after the main revival of 80s chic has passed that am I coming to appreciate what the decade of decadence produced. Recently I went to Lovebox [...]
Ok. Maybe premature. A month into 2009 and I might have already found my song of the year. Peter Bjorn and John is made up of 3 Swedes called, Peter, Bjorn and er, John. I bought their previous album, Writer’s Block (iTunes) after stumbling on the track featured in this post. It’s a lot more [...]
