An echo in my head.
I have a guest blog over at the Whore's.
Rock it 'til you drop - on the iPod this week:
Be Mine! (from Robyn) - Robyn
Swedish popstar Robyn (you may remember her 1998 hit Show Me Love) will begin her re-breakthrough in the UK next year. Since her 1998 debut she's been absent from the international pop scene and has released three critically acclaimed albums in her native Sweden. The most recent, the independently produced and released Robyn shows why the Swedes do pop music best: a mish mash of genres that shouldn't work together but do, tied together with her surprisingly expressive vocals. A pop album with depth and tunes - wicked.
Rehab (Hot Chip Remix) (original version from Back to Black) - Amy Winehouse
One of the year's best singles gets a delicious Hot Chip makeover, turning the sassy throwback-pop track into an understated electro stomp.
