Catchy retro electro cut that stormed to number 1 on the UK charts. How, I'm not sure. Good track? Yes. Incredible track? No. I'll let you judge. This is the third single taken from the self titled debut album by this British synthpop duo...

Fleet Foxes - Your ProtectorVideo:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O52raYzXvkBrand new single from their spectacular full length self titled album. This is on Bella Union Records. No video as of yet to go with this 7 Inch...

First Off....Happy Canada Day.Bat For Lashes - Pearl's DreamBrand new single from the fantastic new album Two Suns. This single definately makes me think Kate Bush. Nice track...

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgTJtdn6VjMGrungy return for Dinosaur Jr. The new album Farm is getting huge hype and this is the first single. The video is a clever shot of the band reliving their youth by doing skate board/bmx bike tricks for 3:46 including some crazy spills...

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsOACFA3sXANew high energy single from Ash called Return of White Rabbit. One of the better things I have heard from them in years. Not sure what the strategy is but it looks like they are going with a new strategy...

Having been about 10 when ABC put out their first single I was quite excited about the opportunity to check them out live about 30 years later. On arrival I just caught the tail end of another 80s ikon Wang Chung...

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1j1HTulCGcOkay, I will admit that I do not know much about this Swedish band, but this story caught my eye. They decided to sell the original master dubplate vinyl (the only existing copy) on ebay. Presumably this track is recorded from the 12-inch vinyl...

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxmrKav8gUMLittle bit of a cheezy video but a nice song once they kick into it. This is the side project of Stuart Murdoch of Belle And Sebastian and it does go with the typical Belle and Sebastian type vibe. Nice!

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci40ae8BlcEDizzie tears up the track while Armand (Van Helden) slams the club vibe. Not an amazing track but definately would make the dance floors move. And can Dizzie go wrong?
