May Be This


Side A


Zoo Kid - Out Getting Ribs
Zoo Kid is Archy Marshall, a 16 year old skinny ginger kid from London. He has a serious sneer, a ginger mohawk and a unique sound - Ocean Bed is another bit of brilliance. 
Open Mike Eagle - Nightmares

A nicely laid-back rap with hypnotic backing vocals and a lazy beat.


Gold Panda - Marriage (Star Slinger Remix)
Starting to think Star Slinger is incapable of making bad songs - this Gold Panda remix is incredible.
Gold Panda - YouMarriage
Lil B vs Gold Panda (The Hood Internet) - Real You
Germany Germany - Take Me Home
Gorillaz - Doncamatic

Shinichi Osawa - Sylkill
Shinichi Osawa is (according to earmilk) a 'Japanese Electropop God'. Not sure whether I would describe him as a deity, but he's been making music a helluvalongtime and the guy does make some pretty crazy electropop tunes.

Keegan DeWitt - Two Hearts
A cute song and a cute video. I am clearly a big girls blouse.
Matt Pond - Love To Get Used 
Mother Mother - Simple Simple
My Morning Jacket - Circuital



Side B



Keaton Henson - Sarah Minor
Keaton Henson's record label were kind enough to send me over his album to have a listen of. Sarah Minor is definitely my favourite track from the album, but Charon was another lovely one (it also has a very sad video about a suicidal puppet).
Big Scary - Gem in the Granite


Bibio - Lovers Carvings

Bibio - St. Christopher
Gardens and Villas - Black Hills
Alpine - Too Safe

Emiliana Torrini - Birds
A lady from Iceland with a lovely voice.

Another lady from Iceland with a lovely voice! Nice little song with a freaky little video.

May Be That

London Elektricity has a great new track featuring Elsa Esmerelda (that lass wot sung on 'Just One Second'). 

Bachelors of Science - The Ice Dance, Song For Lovers, Strings TrackThe Beautiful Life
High Contrast - Hometown Glory, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Mover Shaker - Empathous (Crystal Castles vs Busta Rhymes)

I'll be going to Vietnam in June. My plan is to find a waterfall, play this song and dance my little socks off.

Washed Out - Eyes Be Closed 
City & Colour - Fragile Bird

Ta-Ku is a DJ from Perth, Australia. He makes FUTURE SOUL HIP-HOP BEATS.

Darwin Deez - Radar Detector
I get the impression that Darwin Deez might be a love him or hate him kinda guy. Personally, I like his happy-clappy summertime songs - even if he is so hipster it hurts.

Darwin Deez - DNA, Constellations
Chiddy Bang & Darwin Deez - Bad Day


Steffaloo - Meet Me in Montauk
Steffaloo has a strange name, but a very nice voice.
