Plastiscines

I know my teenage years are way over and if I could I would but I couldn't help but get hooked on the Plastiscines' new record About love. Every one of the songs of this album is driving me nuts enough to jump and dance on my seat with a giant smile on my face.
The reason for this is that they remind me of a sound I particularly like (dirty guitars and crystal clear voice with punky back vocals) and that I experienced last with the indefinitely on-hiatus riot grrrls of Sleater-Kinney. The Hot Rock is such a great album. And to think I almost forgot. Thanks Plastiscines for reminding me!

Plastiscines "Barcelona"


"Bitch"


Sleater-Kinney "Start Together"

blast from the past

I forgot that Luscious Jackson was once my favorite band and I also forgot how their music was AMAZING!!!

This band from the 90's, backed up by The Beasties Boys who took them onboard their label Grand Royal, with a really great street sound that mixed all kinds of music pop, hip-hop, mellow, jazzy rock and what-not blew my mind one day when I stumbled upon "Naked Eye" on TV.

The side-projects of each member of the band (Kostars, Dusty Trails) was also of great quality and Jill Cunniff (only the most amazing voice on the planet) released a great solo album a few years back.

And to think I almost forgot that makes me a little sad...

VIDEOS:

Naked Eye
Under your Skin
Ladyfingers

Kostars "Never So Lonely"


Jill Cunniff "Lazy Girls"

new Dima album

Dima Bilan's new album in english is out. It's called Believe and it's rather good. Here is the goth-inspired cover that has absolutely nothing to do with what is mostly a RnB album. WTF Dima?

Spinnerette "Baptized by Fire"

Brody looks good in her new video for "Baptized by Fire". The song itself sounds pretty good and is far from the punk that the Distillers were playing. Sunny Californian Rock at its best, up there with Queens of the Stone Age!!! If you like them, stay tuned for supergroup "Them Crooked Vultures" featuring Josh Homme and Dave Grohl. Promising!!!

another Zhasmin video (+1)

It's been around for a while but I never came across it. Zhasmin looks cute in it. It's called "Bol"



This other one is called "Nochy" and is much more recent, 2009 I reckon. Is there another album in the works? I sure hope so. Zhasmin has been pretty prolific before and her last album was released in 2005... These two tracks were never released on a CD before and they are good.

presenting Nastya Prikhodko

She was a winner of the russian Fame Academy, she is from Ukraine and her voice is incredible. She sounds like no one else and sings pop like the traditional ukrainian singers sing their folk!

She represented Russia in this year's Eurovision contest and I absolutely love her music.

This is her official website: http://anastasya-prihodko.com/

And a few of her songs:

Tri Zimi


Vera


Mamo (Eurovision 2009)

new Sogdiana

Vspomenay Menya

Can't wait for a new album!!!

oh I forgot

Yes I forgot to post the Metric video for "Sick Muse" which was release some time ago now. Sorry.

new Shy'm

Step Back

Nice dancing. Nice hair!

Alsou is still in my ♥

yeah it's been a while since I posted...anything really! But I kinda want to pay tribute to my favourite russian singer whose carrier is on hold at the moment (or is it not?)
Well, any of you can now enjoy this wonderful, nature oriented, video for Alsou's first single out of her tatar language album "Tugan Tel".

last but not least

My beloved Metric have finally released their third album "Fantasies". Amazing music that deserves to be heard by millions.

They have released this video for "Gimme Sympathy":


Funny video too!

so much music so little time

*I barely have time to think and there's all this great music coming out* Brody Dalle is back with a new band Spinnerette (sounding a lot like her old band the Distillers) and she's got a video for her "ghetto love" track. The music sounds fricking good, I can't wait for the rest...

Here is the video:

You can also listen to more tracks on Spinnerette's MySpace or the Spinnerette's website.

Miss Platnum

I came across Miss Platnum on french TV totally by mistake and I love her. She is curvacious and sassy! She is also Romanian and she mixes hip-hop, RnB and tzigan folk. Sounds good? It's great, funny and oh-so entertaining you'll listen to her album "Chefa" for days.
Try it you'll adopt Miss Platnum!

Give it a listen on Deezer or her MySpace.

SHE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND...

SEREBRO finally

Yes! They have released it! SEREBRO the über russian girl group powered by the producer Maxim Fadeev (a music genius) have released their album. It is called Opiumroz and features tracks like "Opium", "Dirty Kiss", "Song #1" (from Eurovision back in 2007) and a number of previously unreleased tracks that are well worth the wait. The album is brilliant pop and could give international stars a run for their money if it was to be released worldwide. Could be huge!!!
In short, WE LIKE!!!!!!!!!

Alesha, why in thy name?

I mildly like the new Alesha Dixon song "The boy does nothing". It is finally a success for my favourite Mis-Teeq (actually, when Mis-Teeq was still a band I didn't really have a favourite). You can't spend your afternoon in a public place without hearing it at least once an hour. A great song to shake your booty that is... Mind you it's an almost impossible thing to do when you're waiting for a doctor's appointment. Slightly move my feet was the best I could do anyway!

What I wanted to say is I much preferred her earlier work. Her previous album was never released and the song "Knock Down" was really great. It features the lyrics "Woowoowoowoowoh", "Ohohohohohoho" and "Ahahahahahaha". Brilliant! The dance routines were superb too and none of this average mambo sh***t."Lipstick" wasn't bad either. I guess her genius had to be taken down a notch for the general public. Shame that!

I can prove my point... now!

Here is "Knock Down" followed by "Lipstick". [the future is really amazing]

lovegame

This is Gaga in full soft-porn/weirdness mode. I can't say what confuses me the most about this video but what I know is that when Lady Gaga puts her sequinned pants on top of her tights, she means business. And this video IS busy: too much makeup, too many hair extensions, too many outrageous outfits, too many pouty dancers, too many dance moves rescued from the 80's, too much, too much, too much. But I wouldn't expect anything else from the newly crowned princess of pop. Bring it on Gaga and don't skip on the nasty!!!

bb boys

Performance from the french boys rock band BB Brunes at the french music awards.

The singer even winks at the band Naast (their archenemy in the rocknroll world) who seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth when their lead singer stuck a fork in the eye of one of his rivals. Ouch, that's gotta hurt!

if you seek Amy

This is the new Britney video. I'm not quite sure what message she wants to send with it or if there even is a message. Anywho, it's Briney so I love it! I mean, who doesn't?


Also: Great shoes!!!!
