Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime (Radio Edit)

   Gotta love a bit of Adrian Lux; Teenage Crime is probably my favourite of all his songs. It is an odd mix of chill and dance vibes, all in all it is a very nice song. Check it out!

The Naked And Famous Vs. Kids Of 88 - A Source Of Light

   First new material I've heard from TNAF since their album Passive Me, Aggressive You back in 2010, even though it isn't actually a new song... Still I like it. TNAF are one of my favourites and I had the privilege to see them live back in 2011 and it was an incredible gig. This is what The Naked And Famous had to say about this track via their facebook account:

"Hey everyone, we have a new song for you! 

"A Source Of Light" is a collaboration with our good friends Kids of 88, and one of the tracks off our Remixes and B-sides compilation, coming out May 20."

Trophy Wife - Glue

   Trophy Wife have been quiet for a while but they are back now, they have recently released a new song "Glue" and a new alternative version to my favourite Trophy Wife song "Microlite". It's great to hear from these guys again and I'm looking forward to some new material.

Metronomy - The Look

   I am a big fan of Metronomy and they deserve all the popularity they have received. The Bay and The Look are my favourite songs by them, they're both incredible. If you like this I recommend listening to some of their other stuff.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Hysterical

   I don't know enough about these guys to pass a judgement. I found their song Same Mistake, but there were very little videos for it on YouTube so I am sharing Hysterical instead.

Blood Diamonds - Phone Sex (feat. Grimes)

   This song is certainly different, it reminds me of a mix of something from the Drive soundtrack and a cheesy 90's pop song... Still find myself tapping my foot though.

The National - Sea Of Love

   The National yesterday uploaded the first video from their new album Trouble Will Find Me which is due out on the 20th/21st of May. The video is simple but very entertaining and the song is just great. I can't wait for the release of this album; we don't have long to wait now!

MGMT vs. Daft Punk vs. Passion Pit vs. Gorillaz vs. Bob Marley

   This is an incredible mash up of some of my favourite acts. There is a lot going on at times so it is understandable if you do not enjoy it, but I love it! This was shown to me yesterday by one of my friends, he just gets me... Seriously though, decent find, I credit you and I love you xo.

Friendly Fires - Paris

   This is one of my favourite songs and it is by a band I like very much. Friendly Fires are a band I got to see live almost two years ago and it was an incredible gig! I am sharing this video because the audio is that of the album version as opposed o the official music video which has some weird distorted version; it really takes away from the epic chorus. You can search for the music video if you like but I wouldn't bother, the quality of this clip is much better. Enjoy.

Trophy Wife - The Quiet Earth

   Gotta love trophy wife, how these are so unknown is beyond me! They have produced some wonderful, sadly unrecognised tracks over the last few years. Here's another one.

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City

   I was listening to the new Vampire Weekend album (via itunes stream) out in my backgarden being accompanied by the sun, but he had to go... So now I'm sitting at my computer listening to the conclusion of the album and writing about it to you. So far I have been very impressed with the album, they've managed to avoid repetition, which to be fair, they didn't really with the first two albums... I like the layout of each track, the album has a nice flow to it. I really like "Finger Back" and "Worship You", as well as the obvious "Diane Young" and "Ya Hey". All in all this has been a very enjoyable album so far and I am impressed. It doesn't sound the exact same as their other stuff which is good because it was getting boring in my opinion. Personally I prefer this album to Contra even though I am a fan of Contra with immense songs such as "Giving Up The Gun" on it. "Step" is still my favourite song off Modern Vampires Of The City, but this is the first time I've listened to the album and I'm sure I'll find a new favourite soon enough. Anyway, good job Vampire Weekend, you've done it again; see you in July!

The Wombats - Let's Dance To Joy Division

   The Wombats used to be one of my favourite bands and I'd listen to them daily, however I don't listen to them much anymore... Saying that, I still love listening to them the odd time and I often wonder why I ever stopped listening to them as much. "The Wombats Proudly Present: A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation" is still my favourite album of theirs. I'll be sharing more of their songs over time.

The Pigeon Detectives - I Found Out

   This is one of the songs which originally got me listening to indie music back in 2007. It's been a good two or three years since I properly listened to The Pigeon Detectives, but I'm still a fan of theirs.

Quesadilla - Walk The Moon

   This song features in Fifa 13, a game which constantly offers an impressive soundtrack! This is one of many great songs which feature in the game.


~.

Young The Giant - Cough Syrup

   This was one of my favourite songs of 2011, it's been awhile since I've listened to it, but I still love it! 


~.

Hot Chip - Over And Over

   Hot Chip are another band I listen to often and I get to see them in July at Longitude! This is their song Over And Over which many of you Irish and British might recognise from Channel 4 TV series The Inbetweeners. Hot Chip have many great songs and I will share more over time. Enjoy!

The 1975 - The City

   I'm just after buying my ticket for The 1975's show in The Academy Dublin on the 30th of September so I'm sharing their song The City. I shared their songs "Chocolate" and "Sex" over the last two months and I am really excited for their album, which they have announced will be out around September! Can't wait to see them, that' three upcoming gigs, one being a festival; I hope to add a lot more to that list!

Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey (New Song!)

   I posted two tracks a few weeks ago off Vampire Weekend's third album "Modern Vampires Of The City" which is due out in around 10 days time. This is their latest song Ya Hey, and based on these three songs so far, this album is appearing as if it's going to be rather weird and I like it! This is all adding to my excitement for seeing them in July! Ya Hey is a nice track, check it out.
