LCMDF - Cool and Bored

Another cool find from my friends at Kitsuné, these three girls from Finland put some bubbles into pop! Their extended name "le corps mince de Françoise" is full of french references that i don't really get.

Enjoy!

Kesha stole it all from Uffie!!!

Biggest rip off in a long time is commited by Kesha and her producers who have blatently stolen the music, voice, attitude and even the haircut from teen-trash diva Uffie.
Uffie has been around with Ed Banger Records and her mastermind DJ Feadz for a few years now. She was the hippest thing is music for a few weeks back in 06, but she never found her spot on MTV.

Kesha - Tik Tok



Uffie - Hot Chick

The XX - crystalised

Laid back rock n'roll played so quietly you can enjoy it one note at a time. The two kids on vocals are a perfect match for romantic tunes.

Enjoy!

Me and the Beast - Take my picture

6 month old London based band, Me and the beast have recently won the BBC's "Live and Unsigned" competition. Sombody please sign them now !!! All we can get our ears on up to now are the band's demos, some very promissing, but horribly low quality, live footage and the homemade video liked below. Anyhow, fresh electro-pop with a playfull attitude you need to discover right now!!!! (only a couple hundred hits on their youtube videos... when i say fresh, I mean it!!!)
Enjoy!

Listen to this this! Pony Pony Run Run!

Hey Pony Pony Run Run! No fooling me! Shooting the video in Thailand was jsut an excuse to take a dream vacation and I know it! I'll forgive you because you are from Nantes, in the same corner of France as me. Pony Pony Run Run has a wide range oof references and i'll quote their PR propaganda on that "We love everything. There is no shame in enjoying a synth line from 2 Unlimited" That's pretty much the spirit i go by myself. When the music is good, no need to label it! Pony Pony Run Run is good good for sure!
Enjoy!
Charly.
