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
