It's in New Zealand so you probably can't go, unless you're rich. But you can buy them online. 

Look at me, look at me, it's Lykee Li...

Here's a round up of some great new singles. 

First up it's Frenchy electro pop erm, lady Yelle with her funktastic new single 'Safari Disco Club'. Album of the same name is due out on March 21st. 

Second is the stonking new single Lykee Li 'Get Some'. Read an interview with her recently and was pretty impressed at her ballsiness. Here's an equally ballsy song... 

 The Beck remix is soooooo good, as you would expect from his Beckliness. I think I even prefer this to the original... 

Her new album 'Wounded Rhymes' is out in the UK and Ireland on Feb 28th. 

Here's PJ Harvey's new single 'Let England Shake' again incase you missed it on the last post. Check her out bringing back the autoharp! 

Listen Up!

Bon Voyage Aileen! 

Hi there! Haven't been here in Bloggerland in a while as I've been working quite a bit lately, splitting myself between two really fun jobs in moderhn Art and Fashion. Shur I can't complain.

Oh and there was about a month long month of going away parties for my bessie mate, Aileen (pictured above as David Bowie!) who's away off to Toronto for year to become a hipster and join a travelling folk/death metal band or start writing that psycho horror novel that will get banned in 45 countries we all know is in her. You just never know with Aileen. I'll miss her crazy ways!

Anyways check out this awesome (that's awful American isn't it, what's the Irish equivalent? Feckin Brilliant? Bleedin' Deadly. Fucken class boy) January playlist by Dazed and Confused mag. With the exception of about two tunes it's quality...

The PJ Harvey single 'Let England Shake' (from the soon to be released-Feb 14th- album of the same name) is absolutely gorgeous. Her voice sounds so different. Can't wait for the album. Oh and the Sroeng Santi (whoever he is) track is deliciously eclectic and features a ridiculously riff-tastic sample from Black Sabbath.
