The minute I am able to download the She & Him Christmas album I am declaring it holiday music season. #soexcited
Zane Lowe just premiered The Weeknd’s take on Florence + the Machine’s new single Shake It Out. It’s very dark and sexy, obviously. No singing from Abel’s part (unfortunately), just additional producing and baller beats by the xo-crew.
Her voice is mesmerizing. And this remix is hot.
“Hard to Explain” - Owen Pallet
Stereogum returns with another in their series of tribute albums with Stroked, a tribute to Is This It. Owen Pallet brings his experimental acoustic work to “Hard to Explain”. Download the rest of the album over at Stereogum. Real Estate, Wise Blood, The Morning Benders, and more take their turns at tribute.
A really great collection of covers. Worth listening to at least 3 times before you decide if you like it or not. Although I probably won’t download track 9 (NSFW).

I’m in love with her voice. I have listened to this 5 times already.
This week! Stream the new Lykke Li album on The Hype Machine before its release.
Yey! Her voice is tender and determined, precious and strong. Love!
“She Wants” by Metronomy
A final version of “She Wants”…even sexier than I remember…
Agree. You’re not going to be able to listen to this just once.
Today there were more lows that usual. But this video made my day! Guaranteed to make you smile. (And if you don’t you should have that checked out.) This little guy was apparently having a bad day too. All it took was putting Florence & the Machine’s “Dog Days are Over” on and he cheered right up.
Some of the sounds are a little repetitive, but overall this is a really beautiful remix of Snow White.
Nick Bertke (aka Pogo) has just released another masterpiece onto Youtube. This time around it’s the vocal samples, musical chords, and sound effects from Snow White that get sliced and diced.
Hannah Miller is another great singer-songwriter out of the South. Hannah has a smoky, sultry, and easy way about her. Definitely one to watch.
