Feist - 1 2 3 4

Youthful, fun and campy. Feist's voice is reminiscent of Cat Power but with a livelier, more optimistic tone rather than Cat's melancholic and wistful tone. Definitely worth checking out.

The Dresden Dolls - First Orgasm (Live)

It is a Thursday
I get up early
It is a challenge
I'm usually lazy

I make some coffee
I eat some rice chex
And then I sit down
To check my inbox

I only read a word or two
I stare across the street and see the churches and the blue

The first orgasm of the morning
Is cold and hard as hell
There won't be any second coming
As far as I can tell

I arch my back cause
I'm very close now
It's very cold here
By the window

There are some school kids
Yelling and running
I barely notice
That I am cumming

The first orgasm of the morning
Is like a fire drill
It's nice to have a little warning
But not enjoyable

I am too busy to have friends
A lover would just complicate my plans
So I will never look for love again
I'm taking matters into my own hands

I think I could last at least a week without someone to hold me
I think I could last at least a week without someone to hold me
Won't you hold me, won't you hold me

This is really disturbing....

Akon outdoes himself once again. I can't help but agree with blogger pam on this issue; this was really going too far. It's staggering how the girl is apologizing for her behaviour when what irritates me is that her parents allowed her to go to the club in the first place. The video itself is disturbing and in throughly bad taste.

Everyone - from Akon to the club to the family - is to blame for this. It's far too convenient to let the girl take almost all of the responsibility.

Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position

Eccentric, flamboyant and campy, Patrick Wolf displays these characteristics and then some. His recent album is much more accessible than his first two outings, and will likely win him more fans who may have been ambivalent about his first two albums. Definitely worth checking out.

The Bird and The Bee -

This song is very addictive and the video's cute to boot. My first discovery of 2007... heh!

The bird and the bee

The bird and the bee is not about well, the proverbial education of sex. It is a musical duo who construct pretty 60s influenced melodies that lilt and float and catch you with their hooks. Think of a more mellowed-out version of The Pipettes and you have a good idea of what their music sounds like. HMV played their album the other day and I was struck by how catchy and laidback it all was. Worth a look.

I am definitely considering getting their album. Now that exams are over, I really feel like a burden has lifted off me.

Exams!
