With the dog days of summer upon us, we felt it appropriate to start looking ahead towards what the fall had in store (musically, that is). Here’s a look at 5 albums we can’t wait to listen to while the leaves change colors, the air gets colder, and the clothes get heavier:              July 22, 2010
Swedish pop chanteuse Robyn continues her quest to do the impossible: release 3 amazing albums in just 12 months. The first, Body Talk Pt. 1, was released in June to rave reviews and we now have both a release date and album art for the second (the appropriately titled Body Talk Pt. 2). Set to be out stateside on September 7 (via Cherrytree), the 8-track mini-album will feature collaborations with Diplo, Kleerup, and even Snoop Dogg. Listen to the album’s lead single “Hang With Me” after the jump. July 12, 2010
DJ Schmolli did a pretty awesome mashup of Swedish electro-popper Robyn’s latest single/masterpiece “Dancing On My Own” with AC/DC’s classic “Shook Me All Night Long”. Listen and enjoy: July 9, 2010
This is definitely my favorite song off the duo’s slightly underwhelming sophomore album Volume 2, and the video is appropriately retro and melancholy. Is it just me, or is this an homage to German expressionism a la The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari? (It’s just me.) [EDIT: The youtube vid was taken down by the user, so head over to P4k to watch it.] June 8, 2010
It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! To recap:
Sounds like a standard, run-of-the-mill pop video to me. Seems like something Ke$ha could have done (it does not). Thoughts? Is it better than “Telephone”? June 3, 2010
James Mercer and Danger Mouse unveiled their video for single “Ghost Inside”, which features Mad Men star and Hottest Woman On The Planet Christina Hendricks as an android in the near future, today. It’s pretty much as good as you would have thought. Hendricks is great, and the subversion of her status as a current sex symbol (she gradually has to sell off body parts as the video goes on) is also great. So much great in this! Watch and agree: May 31, 2010
The new music video for William & Mary alum Thao Nguyen’s latest single “Body” has hit the web, and it comes with a nice introduction for her sponsor charity Oxfam America. The clip’s director, “Glee” star Dianna Agron, also joins Thao to discuss Oxfam’s inspirational and important work. Watch it here, then go donate to the cause: May 27, 2010
The web has been hit with a bunch of high-profile stuff the past few days; I will now recap:
