lots and lots of pop songs

I’ve loved Not Squares for years, they’ve always come up trumps with various styles of electronic goodness. This is fun.

Ah while I’m on Daft Punk, the Japan-only bonus track from ‘Random Access Memories’ is real nice.

Listening to the radio in London Get Lucky is on BBC’s 1,2 & 6, Absolute, Magic, Heart, Capital, Kiss, Xfm and possibly more. Has to be the biggest crossover hit ever. Of course I’m sick to the teeth of it, but this is a nice remix of a cover.

Way late to the party but this is nifty, the music video for my favourite song this year is possibly the nicest music video I’ve ever seen.

Hi Austin. Fuck SXSW. There… I said it.
Here, the music comes last. 5 minute set-up, no sound check, 15 minute set.  The “music” element is all a front, it’s the first thing to be compromised. Corporate money everywhere but in the hands of the artists, at what is really just a glorified corporate networking party. Drunk corporate goons and other industry vampires and cocaine. Everyone is drunk, being cool. “Official” bureaucracy and all their mindless rules.  Branding, branding, branding. It’s bullshit… sorry.
