Sébastien Tellier

Another favourite of mine that precedes the blog. I was walking down the street one day listening to this and for some reason felt the drum track could only have been played by Tony Allen. Sure enough...

Outkast

2008-11-16T14:35:00.003Z

According to reports, these guys are due to drop three albums next year. I love brass on this track.

Broken Social Scene

2008-11-13T22:27:00.000Z

Speaking of Feist...

Feist

2008-11-10T19:11:00.004Z

One of those occasions where a song becoming a single makes you re-evaluate the track. I love this now.

Julee Cruise

2008-11-09T22:33:00.002Z

Keeping with all things 80s, this eventually got used for the Twin Peaks theme.

Global Communication

2008-11-08T04:40:00.003Z

(Again, no official video, but it's all about the music anyways).

This is off the GTA IV soundtrack. Sounds like the best 80s movie montage I've never seen.

Crystal Castles

2008-11-07T21:30:00.003Z

Mm vocoders.

James Yuill

A bit late with this one, but I only got the blog set up yesterday.

School Of Seven Bells

2008-11-05T13:48:00.002Z

Not an official video, but this is lovely.
