"Here we go again, give you more, nothing lesser"

When my boyfriend described the new Beastie Boys video as having "everyone in it", I had no idea what he was talking out.

While what he said is true (seriously... EVERYONE) what he should have said was that it is fucking amazing.



Oh, the song is pretty amazing too. Bonus.
30 years on and still kicking arse.

Beach House, 'Teen Dream'

I have no idea why it took me so long to buy an album from Beach House. Released in January this year, 'Teen Dream' is a vision of the sleepy melodies that landed Beach House on the map when they glided into the music scene with the debut self-titled album in 2006. Great way to relax after a long day of classes, or to set the right mood for intense study (yes, my life has revolved around uni lately and I'm sick of it too). If you like Grizzly Bear or Cat Power then you should check this out. Will definitely get the complete back catalogue if it's as good as this!

This week's must have...

...with the news I've been waiting for...

That's a class of our own, my love...

Yesterday and today, I find myself feeling one of those occasional pangs of sorrow about Pete Doherty. He's such a talent and gentle soul. Eloquent, charming, and a genuine poet, his work the Libertines and Babyshambles shows a purity that manages to cut through all the drama and sensationalism around his life. I long for a reunion of the Libertines and, more importantly, a return to health for Doherty. He's got too much talent for him to completely fall apart from his own self-destruction.

Short and sweet.

Last night, three of my friends and I battled through the wind and the rain to see Vampire Weekend at the Prince Bandroom and it was definitely worth it. They apologised for not having more songs (the self-titled debut album is only half an hour long) but were entertaining all the same. No, they are not a death metal band. Who knew that African-inspired drums and heavy bass would work so well together?

Oh and check out the lead singer's head of hair and the bassist's awesome moves.

I'm in the Magic Position.

Today's post is dedicated to one of the most beautiful men in the world - Patrick Wolf. For those of you who haven't been introduced - you are missing out on a lot.

Patrick Wolf released his debut album Lycanthropy at the tender age of 20 (which makes me feel like a pathetic under-achiever at 19) after immersing himself in music at an even earlier age. He even made his own theremin at age 11 and, like David Bowie, can probably play every instrument under the sun. His soulful, melancholic tones have a haunting sense of yearning that anyone can relate to, whilst still being raw and gutsy enough to not be too miss-ish and pretentious. In his latest album, The Magic Position, Wolf experiments more with pop, with wonderful results, such as the title track (and my current ringtone). He's also amazingly incredible live, as I had the absolute privilege of seeing the man in action at one of my favourite venues, the Corner Hotel, last year in November.

Here are some clips for your viewing pleasure. You'll wonder what you ever did without him.
