gobbledigook

a more upbeat and tribal sound from sigur ros on their new single: gobbledigook...get it for free and check out the nude video on the sigur ros site. this is another video collaboration with arni & kinski, the guys from gusgus that also directed a few other vids for sigur ros. their vids for glosoli and hoppipolla are too good not to watch if you've never seen them.

didier in son of rambow

i'm fully into my third swing thru 80s-mania. i can't pinpoint a single cause, but maybe it's the fact that my wayfarers are just about the only pair of shades i can't lose. or the fact that the every time i listen to the new m83, i get taken into some other, even cooler john hughes film i never even knew existed. or maybe it's my excitement about next weekend's graffiti rock at bay to breakers. i could go on, but i saw son of rambow last weekend, and though it didn't live up to my lofty expectations, the 80s soundtrack did. some familiar but favorite tracks from the cure (close to me), siouxsie and the banshees (peek-a-boo) and nu shooz (i can't wait) to name a few. the movie is worth seeing by the way - if only for the ambiguous french exchange student, didier, who is the coolest teenager i've seen on film since john hughes' heyday. clearly a front-runner for halloween 2008.

the black ghosts

check out the black ghosts. this is the newish project for simon lord of simian (pre mobile disco). i heard these guys on kcrw last night, and i like what i've heard so far. 'any way you choose to give' is a good starting point. the teenagers remix of 'face' hits some nice 80s synths too.

santogold

you can add me to the santogold bandwagon...a lot of mia in there, some karen o, and i swore i was listening to a different version of tegan and sara's 'walking with a ghost' the first time i heard l.e.s. artistes, but i still like her. check starstruck and the xxxchange remix of l.e.s. artistes.
