Love?

With all the Ellie Goulding on the 1'' right now you'd think I had some sort of stalker tendencies towards the English lass. Perhaps I do. I do want to be the little spoon while we lay in bed and she sings sweetsweetlullabies to me...  

Why all the hype? Well, apart from stellar remixes of late, her debut album 'Lights' leaked yesterday, and it's full of gorgeous electropop melodies and sweet harmonies. In particular 'The Writer', which has the sweetest refrain in pop music, "Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer, and decide the words I say?" is an emotion-sickening, heart-melting tune of twenty10. Need I say more?

And just because I'm a lovely person, have this amazing cover of The Temper Trap's 'Sweet Disposition' she did for the Brits. MWAH. X

Bang Gang Fun.

I have a Bang Gang 12 Inches fetish, so when ever there's a new release via the Bangers I must have it. Latest in the long line of perfection is Hystereo's 'Cityspeak', that is an absolute monster of a track. Highlight of the release for certain is the Arveene & Misk remix of said track, turning a monster into an absolute horrific mess of destruction. Expect blood. X

It's incredible how one label can continue to get things so right. I (hart) the Bang Gang.

On A Saturday Night.

Van She-gone-solo-Modular-playboy Matt Van Schie is hitting all the right notes with his debut EP 'Balmy Nights', out now on iTunes. Lead track 'Saturday Night' is a must-play every Saturday by DJ's, the underground 'I Gotta' Feelin' if you will, but it's the tragic 'Two Love' that tickled my fancy, being a hopeless romantic afterall. Get on it. X

Dwnld: Two Love

Sex With Yr DAdelaide On The Scene.

South Australia's never been known for it's musical exports, nor it's originality or, in fact, it's never been known for anything positive. Until now that is, with the creative kids shirking from the hip hop bullies and expressing themselves.

The Swiss are a band on everyone's lips, after playing the Big Days Out and Laneway Festivals all over Australia, they dropped their 'Bubble Bath' EP a couple weeks ago and it's been destroying dancefloors. Bringing disco back to the clubs, the Knightlife remix of 'Bubble Bath' is utterly incredible, with loads of laidback beats and improvised synths, with the added cowbell, brings a joy to my heart.

The Shiny Brights are a personal favourite of mine, being the first act I ever seen live (in support of The Wombats), and have stuck in my mind ever since. Their debut EP was full of upstart indie pop, and their latest track, courtesy of the jjj Unearthed website, continues with the frenetic pace and shouty-shout vocals, 'Not Too Old'

Dwnld: Not Too Old

Electro-fused-indie-rock-twats The Touch are another amazing live act, who I've seen multiple times but can never seem to get my hands on any of their tracks. Everyone's favourite EC DJ's Loot & Plunder have done up their new track 'Shot' to great effect, adding to the already sharp beats and yelly-yell vocals, L&P dress down with their lovely synth work and ear for a break.

Dwnld: Shot (Loot & Plunder Remix)

New kids to the Adelaide scene, or new to me anyway, perhaps I've been a little slow on the uptake, are jjj Laneway Unearthed winners The Salvadors. Akin to The Holidays, Salvadors cling to their rocky/bluesy type tone and deliver a kicker in 'Atacama Disco'. Get on it. X

So We Burst Into Colours.

I'm loving the dreamwave/pop shazam business that's in the scene, and right now I can't think of anyone doing it better than than the Monarchy boys. Hitting it with Gold In The Fire, followed up by some stellar remixes (including this one of Ellie Goulding's 'Starry Eyed') and the hype that surrounds them at the moment, don't be suprised if they aren't on everyone's lips come the Winter chill. 

Let's not forget the lovely Ellie Goulding either, who is utterly delectable on 'Starry Eyed', which will probably be the new 1901 and get remixed by absolutely everyone on the Internet.

And for good measure, have a bit of swirl in yr life with the Monsieur Adi remix.

The Good & The Bad.

I despise David Guetta, but I’d give my left testicle to be Kid Cudi. Don’t get me wrong, that Guetta lad’s done some good stuff in the charts lately, but it doesn’t do it for me. So, to my absolute shock horror, I seen he hooked up with the oh-so-trendy Kid Cudi, and they produced a club-smashing, floor-filling, romper-stomper of a tune.


Dwnld: Memories (Feat. Kid Cudi)

Yeah, I Forgot...

Yep, I totally forgot about my committments to the cause of bringing this shitely run blog to the people who follow it religiously, which is about 0 of you at this stage. However, this is all about to change when I mention the improvements I've made:

1.) It's wittier than ever.
2.) New colours!
3.) Uploads to MediaFire instead of the headfook that is RapidShare.
4.) I'm going to be giving you everything I find, not just the golden wasteland that is Australian music, so be prepared for the best things that tickle my fancy.


However, for now be content with the shite design and the somewhat obnoxious ramblings of myself. Anyways, here's a golden track from Art Vs Science. I love the French language, and to hear a bunch of Aussie lads shout to me over loud crashing noises makes me happy.


Dwnld: Parlez Vous Francais? 

I would like to point out, I draft this about four months ago, but thought it was too good to delete whilst cleaning up. As well, I'm seeing Art Vs Science next week, and I absolutely adore them.

Ping Pong's Shite.

If you had a world-wide smash with a song about the art of table tennis, tour with some of the world's biggest acts, play festivals all over the globe, lose a member to the pornography business, allow the fit one in yr group go from blonde to black and above all, have the world on yr shoulders to produce a stellar second-album, how would you react? That's right, you'd kill all expectations and throw out 'Logic', a more mature, polished sound to let everyone know yr not just that band that wrote a song about ping pong. Get on it. X

Dwnld: Logic

I'm Obsessed...

"... with the mess that's America-ah-ahhh." And the lovely Marina of course, the 'it' girl of twenty10. Ride the Diamonds train and get on Hollywood, her latest NME Chart Topping success. 

Dwnld: Hollywood

Also, an extra incentive, The Juan MacLean destroy the pop and implement the house with their lush remix.
