I´m actually waiting for the new Keane album Perfect Symmetry, because Spiralling is such a good track. Now a new Keane song Better Than This has surfaced. Better Than This is perhaps not a hit song, but it has the same feeling and sounds as Spiralling.

Listen to Better Than This by Keane below:

Here´s Spiralling by Keane once more:

New Stereolab album Chemical Chords is out, check out the video for the second single Neon Beanbag:

I´ve always liked Stereolab, they are an original, intellectual group. Stereolab´s lounge-indie-electro style, female vocals (sung in French or English) and the use of vintage electronic keyboards create melodic, harmonic pop sounds. Listen to some older Stereolab tracks from the 90s, brilliant Cybele´s Reverie and equally fantastic Raibo Conversation below:

Kanye West releases new video Good Morning. The video is an animation about a character a lot like Kanye. It´s animated by artist Takashi Murakami and directed by Kanye himself.

Watch Good Morning by Kanye West below:

The Swedish band Air France have reworked Taken By Trees´ single “Sweetness.” Taken By Trees is Concretes-fronting Victoria Bergsman´s folk-pop project. The Sweetness By Air France is mellow, dreamy, summer - everything lovely.

Listen to The Sweetness of Air France here.

Check out Madonna performing Candy Shop (she´s a bit nervous!), the opening number and Beat Goes On the second number (fantastic!). This is the gangsta-pimp theme of the show, Madonna is wearing a black leotard-style outfit designed by Givenchy and black, knee-length boots.

T.I.´s Swagger Like Us samples M.I.A.´s fantastic Paper Planes and features T.I., Kanye West, Jay-Z and Lil´ Wayne. It´s a pretty cool track but why use the annoying vocoder??

Pink´s new video So What is out and it´s hilarious! Just check out the first scene. Pink has a great sense of irony and comedy, the combination of the tough, so-what attitude creates many humorous situations.
