Groove Armada’s new single is ground breaking. Not because it’s released as part of their deal with Baracardi instead of via a traditional record label, but because it’s really good.
ElectroRockCandyGoth
Watch this video of The Veronicas, Untouched. Starts off Goth. Quickly turns ’80s synth-pop. Then the guitars come in and it’s Euro-Goth-Rock. After the first “I go ooo, ooo” of the verse though, you know it’s full-on, spangly electro-pop. Until the chorus, where it turns into Avril Lavigne. It’s also very, very annoying.
But I kinda like it. Or maybe I just like them.
Do feel free to share your thoughts.
PopMusic’sNotGonnaDie
“Pop music’s not gonna die/It just has no direction.” Bis, Action & Drama.
So true.
IKnowWhat’sTheDealWithMe
French Horn Rebellion. Up All Night. Best pop song I’ve heard in ages. This should be No.1. Or at least No.2.

Goodbye George. Don’t let you door hit you on the way out.
Can’tGetItOutOfMyHead
MirrorKicks’ debut single, “Podium”. Love it, love it, love it. Can’t stop playing it. I’m playing it so much I’m even starting to annoy myself. There’s a higher resolution version of the video over at Facebook, but for some reason I couldn’t get it to embed. Which is odd because I am usually a technical whizz.
TalentGoingToWaste
I’ve long maintained that Lemar is an amazing talent desperately in need of a good song. I’ve also long maintained that the mark of a good song is working in any genre. Am I right or am I right?
Ticker
My second favourite short film.

Great track from Free The Robots. Even better video. If only all the world’s conflicts and crises could be settled with such style and politeness.
