Tame Impala

Tame Impala reminds me of a band from the 60's and 70's, and the lead singer of a guy with round specs married to a crazy artist. It's about time someone dared to take this genre on again!

Boat Houses in Hamburg

When I visited Hamburg a few months ago I had a look at these amazing boat houses. Most of them for accommodation but some were architects offices (note to self!). They're situated close to the city centre on the Eibek-canal, but the entrances are permanent. It seems it's not so much about the need to move your home,  but about the scenery you surround yourself with. Certainly the homes get a very special expression with the restrictions and possibilities of the site. Which one is your favourite?

I think its hilarious how all the houses try to reinterpet the idea of home and boat, but the guy on the end just made his own spaceship looking box! 'Id love to hear how the other boat houses talk about the new guy:)

major lazer

I wish either Dirty Projectors or Major Lazer could make more tracks like this one:

Metronomy + Grizzly Bear =Dan Croll

Dan Croll, who used to play in the Norwegian band "Eye Emma Jedi", has gone solo and has pulled the greatest musical tricks from my favorite bands: the simple organ beat by Metronomy to the dirty guitar riffs of Grizzly Bear. He might be a little music thief, but I love his latest single "From Nowhere". 

Everything is embarrassing

A couple of years ago I think I blogged about her song "One", since then her hair aint as nice, but the sound is even better. As you notice from the video Sky Ferreira has discovered she's one foxy lady.
My latest posts have been very 80's influenced, I guess the 80's really are back- but arent they always?

Solange

Well someone's outdone their big sister...!

push and shove

I was No Doubt's biggest fan through their previous albums. It's been 11 years since "Rock Steady" and today their new album is released. I already love this song, especially the chours. I love the play on tempo, almost like a mix of reggea and drum-and bass beats. Now I'm off to get the album for my collection, I'll let you know if it's a comeback to pay attention to.

purity ring

Cant remember if I've posted this before, but this song (and the whole album) is super duper!!

Grimes 2

I wrote about this girl about a year ago, now her album "Visions" is out. It's such a careful sound, but I feel like this is what old hipsters in Tokyo or Shanghai would listen to. Claire Boucher (which is her real name) is from Vancouver and "Visions" is actually her third album. Fun facts about Grimes: 

-She used to live on a houseboat. 
-She did ballett for 11 years. 

Jamie Cullen prints

Don't really blog too much about art, but I'm in love with the prints of Jamie Cullen (not the little monkey who's married to Sophie Dahl). How great are these prints!? Check out his website www.jamiecullen.net

                    

See that's Tom Ford up there!!

Ingeborg

Especially for one of my most loyal readers!
 "Dillon" is very pretty too. And she has a poetry link on her website, and a visual diary-

Tycho

I've gotten really in to this electronica/house genre lately, but a track takes a few "listens" in order to know if you like it or not. Well I love this one! Tycho is a project from the artist and producer Scott Hansen from San Fransisco. Since 2006 he's released a bunch of EP's, singles and now an album "Dive". Check them out from his website (links to soundcloud there as well): http://tychomusic.com/

Likable

Of course I love the xx, who doesn't?! The new album is pretty similar to the self titled debu-album, but  I've listened the shit outta that cd anyway, so about time I got a new one:)
Angels is one of my favourite tracks from their new album "Coexist":

Did you know that in the gap between these brilliant album, Jamie Smith from the xx made an album titled "Home" with Gil Scott-Heron. This is one of my favourite tracks form that album:

smitten by Goulding

This is probably the girliest music, and when I listen to it I imagine Kate and Wills dancing to this on their wedding day (miss Goulding was preforming at their private celebration). But it's a good track, though once I've listened to it like 200 more times I'll probably remove it from the blog as it shutters my non-romantic image:p

Bryan Florence

I love Ceremonials, the newest album from Florence and the Machine. She fearlessly channels my musical heroes, like Kate Bush and Bryan Ferry. The latter is really present in this song, and I'm trying to find out which Ferry song it reminds me of...? Or perhaps a Roxy Music tune...

Memory Monday

This tune has been brought back to life, and to survive 2012 critics, by Hudson Mohawke. Its like vintage clothes or retro furniture- right?

tip of the day

check out Youth Lagoon, saw them in Copenhagen in March, they're perfect live. Sometimes it's nice to know a band before all the radios do. 

confidence

but then again you just listen to this on your way to your presentation and you're a badass G!

outta place

but studying ain't easy when you feel like this! 

study

Back to school, back to blog, back to "study-music"
