Happy new year everyone! Hope you’ve enjoyed 2009 so far. And what better way to start the new year than telling you what will be hot in 2009 looking back at 2008. After we’ve squeezed the last drop of goodness out of 2008, here’s my list of the best tracks. Check out the best remixes of 2008 too if you haven’t done so already. To stay updated with Going Other Places in...
Lykke Li @ Koko, London, Friday 28th November Swedish pop minx, Lykke Li, is in Camden town and is poised to play what must be one of her biggest gigs yet and, judging by the hoards of young females in imitating attire, it is the perfect setting for a triumphant gig. As the designated stage time fades into the distance without us even catching a glimpse of Li, the crowd grows...
Yall. Lykke Li is alright. Does she write her own music or does she just deliver ‘charismatic performances’ over well produced songs. She kinda reminds me of a sexie old woman/cougar or something like that. Does she remind yall of an artistic cougar in this vid? (this is what people are basically saying when they compare her 2 Stevie Nicks.) N e ways, the song “Knocked...
As if arbitrarily ranking one’s favorite albums of the year isn’t an absurd enough task, we leave you for the weekend with our favorite songs of 2008. Check David’s list at the bottom of the post… 50. Karl Blau - Mockingbird Diet 49. CFCF - "Invitation to Love" 48. Crystal Stilts "The Dazzled" 47. Ghosthustler - Someone Else’s Ride 46. Arch M...
In the best, weirdest, wrongest, most poptastic pop, contradictions are the shit. Sweden’s Lykke Li is both pop puppet and producer-svengali-puppet master; awkward and a brilliant manager of that awkwardness. She doesn’t just pull her own strings, she ties them into intricate knots that could keep armies of scouts occupied. Her songs sound a bit like mid-Eighties dance-pop of the...

LYKKE LI MP3s

10. Chairlift - "Bruises"; Talk about your commercial appeal, I wouldn’t have given this album the time of day or have gone to see the band during CMJ without this song taking over my TV on all those freaking iPod commercials. Seriously the album is more or less staid but this song is absolutely amazing. 9. Estelle (feat. Kanye West) - "American Boy"; I can’t...

LYKKE LI Reviews

The last Lollapalooza of the this decade is in the books and despite, what on paper, looked like a less than impressive lineup, it turned out another weekend of exciting and memorable moments just as in years past. Every year going at Lolla, one is expected to battle oppressive heat, but on Friday this year, Mother Nature decided to throw in a little something extra - a rain storm that only...
Venue: The Scala, London Teaser: Emily kendrick investigates the Eurovision contender and all round love-walrus that is Sebastien Tellier, as he brings his naughty pop music to the London Scala… Pull quote 2: there’s is a wiff of Spinal Tap to the virtuoso guitar playing, but its hemmed back by blocky moogs and a lethal snare kick. First para: To say the...
