this new website data transmission (bad), promoting itself as THE electronic music service, offers free song to those who join so, as my 2 fingers up to the system (i'm a bad ass), i got them and quit. bam. yeah but i got some new rework (they are too cool) tracks and here one is, get you going. a goldfrapp soft metronomy/teenagers remix which is great. and a sweet old acid house song which came on as i was writing this and i cannot now get it out of my head. love

rework - jogging beat
goldfrapp - happiness (metronomy remix ft. the teenagers)

mgmt are unbelievably cool.
the brooklyn kids' debut album oracular spectacular, described by rolling stone as 'psychadelic synth-pop', is soooooo good times (tinnys tinnys woop). and if you click on their name (pronounced [management] by the way) you can play flashing dancefloor with your mouse and all the websites squares turn MULTTII colour! wow that makes me happy.
sooo...the album is incredible-and with 11 super songs you should definitely start preparing for summer (eeeven though its snowing)- NOOOW
so buy it yeah?
yeah

time to pretend
kids
electric feel

woosh

the animal collective are a forward thinking bunch. of grapes they use more varied techniques and more eccentric rhythms than any band i have heard and their new e.p [water curses] is no different. the realm into which strawberry jam delved has been explored even further and brought a.c onto a level unparred by any of your talented indie bands. well done them

re charge

sometimes you just need to sit back and mellow away, allow yourself to let go, drift away with your thoughts. and be assured you will come back fair and fine, a little more peaceful, and easy.

swedeland

last month dazed and confused described her as the 'nordic musical wunderkind' who wiled away her youth 'writing poetry and ballet dancing on top of portugese mountains to the strains of madonna's immaculate collection'. and after buying lykke li's debut album, youth novels, yesterday- i smiled. the 21-year-old swedish fledgling's certainly got the right sound. hazy, harmonic- full of variety. and mystical; a voice with that edge that just makes you wonder and amaze, float and run, grin and giggle. support her and buy it too, brighten up your weekend .
