The xx: Basic Space

The xx's self titled debut album is a great album for the fall. Moody furtive boy/girl duets is the new black.

If you can't wait till October for it to hit U.S. stores click here to download through Amazon.

Video of Lisztomania off of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

The new album from Phoenix is currently on constant repeat on my playlist at work and in the car. It's one of those rare albums where I don't have a favorite track; every song is a highlight.

Reverie Sound Revue - An Anniversary Away

Amazing video and song from Reverie Sound Revue.

Reverie Sound Revue: Arrows Video and Self Titled LP

I purchased Reverie Sound Revue's self-released EP years and years ago after seeing Lisa Lobsinger with attendant hairdo perform with Broken Social Scene. Recorded or live she simply has a gorgeous ethereal voice.

It's been a long while but they've finally released their first studio LP and the first of a series of online video blog tours from www.boompa.ca.

Check out the first video of their acoustic rendition of Arrows here.

Note: I'm patiently waiting for Boompa to disable their non-embed Vimeo code so I can repost all the vids.

The Go! Team - Milk Crisis

Just came across this gem of a music video from The Go! Team. Great song to get the day started.

Department of Eagles: No One Does it like You

Patrick Daughters' last two music videos for Feist are among my favorites in recent memory. His newest music video for Department of Eagles song “No One Does it like You”, co-directed with Marcel Dzama, is an eerie green screen montage of colonial desert warfare, choreographed dancers and spooky singing ghosts. Great video.

Röyksopp: Happy Up Here

What do you get when you combine Röyksopp and Space Invaders? Total nerdgasm.

Lily Allen: The Fear

So glad it's Friday. Pretty busy but quiet in the cubefarm. This song has been on my playlist non-stop for the past week or so, makes me want to skip and spin down the sidewalk if it wasn't so foggy out.
