Here's the bomb threat, I'm the bomb

and when I'm on the net I'm the bomb dot com

I got a message yesterday that reminded me of this song. Oh, how I love it. 

If you don't like it. Watch it again. Bass, snare. Bass, bass, snare

I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend 
While you're giving me a hard time

Metric is canadacool. I'm not going to lie, I sacrificed sound quality below, because the official music video is IMVU looking...and who doesn't want to look at real-Emily Haines? 

I'm going in for the kill.
I'm doing it for a thrill.

La Roux is up for the Mercury Prize this year. Rightly so, awesome album.

If you're always on your way out the door,

you'll never have a place to call home

Sebastien Grainger - American Names. I'm stuck in an airport right now. Flights are being cancelled all around me. There is no happy here.

5. Phoenix - Lisztomania, I could listen to this Alex Metric Remix on repeat, repeat, repeat

4. Bon Iver - of course. Seriously...and then Bon Iver and Lykke Li? That's just showing off. 

3. Passion Pit - OH SO MANY REMIXES, SO LITTLE TIME

2. Discovery - I heart it all, but I want to be your Boyfriend featuring Angel Deradoorian from The Dirty Projectors...Killah!

1. Dirty Projectors - all of it. Gosh those kids are cool. 

I have no idea what The French Kicks are saying in this song. Seriously. Can't even pull out a single line.

Sounds like summer though. Abandon off of their album, Swimming. 

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems instead you're running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drive my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

Florence and the Machine! The lyrics remind me of that Neruda poem, "all day I hunt the liquid measure of your steps". So you know...if you're a dude, put this on, then say how it reminds YOU of that Neruda poem, then quote it, then thank me later for making you a dating god.

Tied together with rope and twine

Stuck together with paste and glue

Loving this track off of Dark was the Night, sung by Dirty Projectors and David Byrne.

I love it when I have you in my arms

I love it when you're holding me you make me feel so me

Girls dancing in underpants and fur stoles? Check. High kicks? Check. A track made for summer dancing? Absolutely.

I notice Sneaky Sound System is getting into the user generated content game on their myspace page. My people love crowdsourcing.

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

Such a beautiful tune. The original by Vashti Bunyan is lovely, but Feist AND Bon Iver? Almost too much cool for one song.
