MID-WEEK GEEK

TV On The Radio - Staring at the Sun (Diplo Remix) <--- Hip Hop spliced. Drum machines and harmonies. Brilliant. 

Sharkslayer - So Sincere (Renaissance Man Remix) <---- Renaissance Man touring with Stereosonic '09. 

Trentemoller - Miss You (Interval Remix) <--- Jonny's remix. He's been working on this for a while now and it's now perfect. 

Amanda Blank - Might Like You Better (Rusko Remix) <--- Return to form that garnered so much attention in the first place (The Pro Nails remix).

See this.

In the running for best soundtrack ever.

Oh Zooey..

The Xx

Thought I'd devote a post to these guys as they've been on repeat all week. Hailing from South-West London "The Xx" are bringing dreamy pop thick and fast. I was lucky enough to have been sent their demo a few months ago and it saddens me to say that it sat collecting dust for a while.

Sharing the same alumni (London's Elliot School) as Four Tet, Hot Chip and Burial, The Xx blend simple serrated guitar riffs with wondrous vocals, yet still manage not to take themselves too seriously...covering Aaliyah and Womack & Womack. Drum machines and boy vs. girl bouncy vocals feature heavily in a basement-folk rock-shoe-gaze-a-thon. Expect nothing, but enjoy listening to them for now...

Xx - VCR <--- Cute song of the year.
