oh no, I'm posting on christmas

Ok, I give up, I'm defeated. The urge to post at least one Christmas song was so overwhelming, that I couldn't resist, but who could resist a Christmas song from Belle & Sebastian? Yeah, nobody, because you either love Belle & Sebastian or you've never heard of them, there can't be anybody on earth who actually dislikes B&S. Anyways those, who don't check up on B&S regularly, might not have noticed, but the latter have put up a new song on their myspace, escpecially for Christmas! And it's free! How could Christmas get any better?

MP3: Belle & Sebastian - Are You Coming Over For Christmas (YSI)

happy holidays 'n stuff

I don't like celine dion

this is a fact.
Celine Dion is just awful, her music is disturbing and she probably is also a very disturbing person. The world would be so much better of without her. I mean, in the music scene, of course, I don't want her to die, I'm not a hateful person.
But there are so many things, that I hate in this world, like: cyclists, parking tickets, cyclists who take in the whole street while I'm driving a car, people who make a fuss about parking tickets, spiders, daft politicians(uhh), plastic spoons, joghurt that has small pieces of fruit in it and most of all, people who talk very slowly and gesturing pretty wildly.
No thanks, I can perfectly understand you, there's no need to hit my face with your smelly fingers or to imitate a horse galloping, if you're trying to explain the meaning of a race. Not for me, no, no and if you could speed up your language a bit, that'd be excellent, because I don't have time for you to analyse, why the weather is so crappy or your politicians are so daft and incompetent, for I know that pretty well, just tell me the danmn time in three seconds or faster, sir. Thank you, even though I could have said everything you expressed like ten times faster.
These things drive me nuts, even more than the simple being of Celine Dion - oh wait, no, Celine Dion is unbearable.
Anyways, there are also a lot of things that I love.
For example:

MP3: Belle & Sebastian - I Love My Car

Nevermind, coming to the actual purpose of this post. The Presets have a new song!
And a new single, which means a new record coming up soon! This is really great news. I can't stop listening to My People, after someone gave me a little hint, that one of the most awesome Australian dance band has a new record waiting to be released. You know, the amazing two piece band, whose Down Down Down was also remixed by my latest favourite Midnight Juggernauts
Well, first, there's the single My People, which will be released on December, the 18th via Modular People. You can sign up here to the MP mailing list, to get the exact date to preorder the single. Also check out The Presets' website and, of course, this:

MP3: The Presets - My People
someone deleted the z-share link
-buy the single!!!!!

and just for the awesomeness of this remix:

MP3: The Presets - Down Down Down (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)

well, what else is there? Dntel has posted a new remix of the band People Press Play on his homepage and I can say, that I like it very much. So should you:

MP3: People Press Play - These days (Dntel Instrumental


so, I've been listening to a lot of Mgmt, Midnight Juggernauts, basically everyone, that the Midnight Juggernauts did a remix for, lately a lot of The Cribs again, some random Muse b-sides, The Black Ghosts and lot of other stuff. Here's a small part of it:

MP3: Midnight Juggernauts - Ending Of An Era
MP3: Mmgt - Kids
MP3: The Cribs - Tri'elle
MP3: Shitdisco - Ok (Yuksek remix)
MP3: Refuge Kru - Letting Go
MP3: The Black Ghosts - Am I Too Late
MP3: Muse - The Groove

I'm gonna go packing, because I'm going home tomorrow morning.
g'bye

no dance on saturday

Whilst in the mid of last minute packing, I find some time to do some sort of good-bye sweet home post. I'm moving in like, half an hour and thought that I could do aswell another mix.
It's kinda weird, after having lived for the past 19 years in only one single place(Swanage doesn't count for me) now to finally move away. But it should be interesting.
For the past week, my blog has been quite electronica and dance dominated, well not yesterday's post, but most of the week. I needed to change this, because my blog shouldn't focus on only one musical genre. That'd be very boring.
So, today, it's mostly indie pop or indie folk that I could find in my iTunes library, except for Bromheads Jacket and yes, I couldn't resist, The Strokes. It's my good-bye post, so The Strokes are necessary. Sort of.
Enjoy!

MP3: Bedroom Eyes - Norwegian Pop
MP3: The Zutons - Pressure Point
MP3: Belle & Sebastian - I Don't Love Anyone
MP3: The Zombies - A Rose For Emily
MP3: Blood Red Shoes - It's Getting Boring By The Sea
MP3: The Holloways - Two Left Feet
MP3: The Boyfriends - Remember
MP3: Mystery Jets - Diamonds In The Dark
MP3: Bromheads Jacket - Pinch Of Psalt
MP3: The Strokes - Red Light

get the tracks @ amazon
For further artist information, check on the sidebar under artists you should stalk this week!
- I hope, I can get my internet back the next couple of days,
otherwise, see you next weekend!

too tired for everything - oh wait...

... not too tired for another mix for this wonderful but exhausting Thursday evening.
I'm finally back from my camping having spent the past days in suffocating heat, excessive downpour and compensating this with exorbitant alcohol consumption. This means, also regarding my post title, that I'm far too tired for a regular, long and detailed post so I'll just pick the lazy way. Besides, for a lack of sleep I find it quite difficult to concentrate right now.
Anyways, this mix contains most of the songs, that I wanted to post the past week(then-found-out, they-were-all-over-'blogland'), songs that I've been listening too quite insanely and simply bands that I think you listen to if you haven't already.

So here's a Thursday Evening Mix:
