Dance number

Just stumbled across the Brooklyn electropop group Infernal Devices. They have noice beats. My favorite track from their EP, Lost in Sound, has got to be "Fast Enough."

killer beats

I love songs with killer beats.

The list goes by artist and then song.

The songs I immediately thought of in terms of killer beats are:

1. Fabian - Heatwave
2. Chilly Gonzales - You Can Dance
3. Phoenix - Lisztomania (Classix remix)
4. Washed Out - Feel It All Around
5. Jim Rivers - I Go Deep (MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE? MAYBE.)
6. Friendly Fires - Paris (Aeroplane remix ft. Au Revoir Simone)
7. Major Lazer - Hold the Line ft. Mr. Lexx & Santigold

 And there's a couple more that probably wouldn't be what you'd expect. You can discover them for yourself.

people I'd like to see on tour/in concert

I've never seen a concert in my life. Ever. Isn't that blasphemous and ludicrous?

Sure, I've seen the occasional Kennedy Center piano recital and classical music sort of thing, but by concert, I mean I've never seen any of my favorite singers/groups/musicians perform live.

Lately I've really wanted to see certain people live. Here's my list for now:

1. Anna Calvi
2. Ladyhawke
3. Lykke Li
4. The xx

I don't want your money
I want your trust
I want your faith
I want your love
I want your support
But even if I don't have it
I'm gonna go my own way anyway.

mixtape #1

Lately I've discovered a handful of people who have really awesome music tastes and I find myself wanting to post music on everybody's Wall all the time, so it's easier to do a compilation post here instead of flooding everyone's Facebook...

I really like discussing and sharing things I like so this is pretty much what I'm gonna do with music, too, from now on...

People who I (always) keep in mind about music: Kanna, Astrid & Dylan, Shannon, Lynh
