Marina and the Diamonds

Melodramatic popular song.

It's good to know that Good Weather For Airstrikes didn't die when it died. Our favorite dead blog became Neon Gold Records.

I am officially giving NGR the title of "Cheetah Love's Favorite Zombie Blog." *cheers*

Not only is the man behind the magic still blogging incredible music, he is grabbing the pop genre by the balls and injecting it with awesome. That is to say - he brought delicious Passion Pit to the world. And now,

Marina and the Diamonds will smack the world in the face with their debut single in mid-december, proudly sporting the Neon Gold label. Hopefully before then we will be able to hear the single in all it's poppy goodness. For now, it's stuck in the studio with Mr. Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps, y'all), and will likely emerge in an even more godly form than the hot demo version of the song, which is attached to this post.

Marina, the lovely English girl, reminds me of Regina Spektor just a tad, with obvious heavy pop punches. It is: very lyrical, driven like a fallen angel would drive the "Bitchen Vocals Bus" - if ya know what I mean - in the best way possible. I have been into the type of music lately, the kind of music with vocals that could break your heart alone - but the the words are arranged so perfectly they grind your heart into a fine powder - only to be packaged together in a wonderfully delicious cocktail of a song.

The song is called Obsessions, and your spine might tingle a tad (fair warning). The demo version of the song has been around for a while, but rest assured, when the Sneaker Pimp'd version comes out, you'll hear it.

NEON GOLD is my hero.

PS: You might have noticed a lot of dead links. I got slapped in the face with a DMCA notice and my hosting site was shut down. Too bad, but oh well... the cheetah marches on. Cheetah just wants to love music, why won't they let the cheetah love music!?!
