The Most Beautiful Music Video Ever Made

This isn't new, but sometimes that doesn't matter. I just really wanted to share this with all of you.

Neo-Tokyo

Yo! Whats the haps, my peeps? Dude, Starcraft 2... shizzzz.

Anywho, Neo-Tokyo. Welsh. Toured with Phoenix. Banger as fuck. They deserve more words than this but, no can do. Maybe later!

Porcelain Raft

2k10, lovers. As the summer quickly approaches, it can be important for one to have a fresh supply of some lush, sunbleached, dreamyassed fuckin shoegaze at his or her disposal. Porcelain Raft, the solo project of London artist Mauro Remiddi, lets it just beam out of his eyeballs directly into your soon-to-be-much-happier chest region. He just released two EPs – Gone Blind and Curve – and you can snatch them from his site for a mere quid. Here's why you might seriously consider doing so:

Oh dear. It's pretty easy to forget about dubstep until you hear someone like Joker. This kid is seriously blowing my mind. Check out some of his mixes.

Jon Hopkins

Jon Hopkins is yet another in a long line of British electronic artists that I have come to enjoy. I discovered him, much like probably way too many other people did, because at some point I listened to the new(est) Coldplay album, Viva la Vida, and then later discovered that the only part of the album I really liked was really just a collaboration between Coldplay and Jon Hopkins (namely, the loop that is used both to open and close the album). And by collaboration, I mean sampling, because it's really just a clip that the band took from the full Jon Hopkins track "Light Through The Veins," which would later become the centerpiece around which his own 2009 release Insides was built. Well, I had discovered that track almost a year ago, but I had never thought to get the full Jon Hopkins album. That was a mistake, because it's fucking good. Why this guy doesn't get more attention is beyond me; Insides was actually his third album. Here's what you're missing out on:

Anjunadeep:02

I recently got turned on to the awesomeness of progressive house and have been aimlessly drifting in that sea endlessly progressive melodies and basslines for awhile now - so prop go to Spencer for introducing me to Anjunadeep. Anjunadeep is is a sub-label of UK house label Anjunabeats that specializes in prog house, giving a home to a variety of artists such as Mat Zo, 16 Bit Lolitas and Jaytech. More importantly, however, the label puts together a compilation of their best music called, not suprisingly, Anjunadeep.

And this shit is real. Definitely one of the strongest collaborative electronic efforts Ive heard in a while, and perhaps my favorite UK Electronic music since... probably ever. If you have twenty minutes on a computer, let this preview play in the background, it gives an excellent sample of how the mix as a whole flows and feels. Deep, epic, inquisitive, booming. Pretty much fantastic.

The Pipettes New Single/What Happened to The Pipettes?

So The Pipettes released a new single and music video, which is all well and good, it sounds pretty much like you would expect it to, maybe it lacks some of the hooks of their older stuff, but hey, what can you do, its got a nice little guitar riff in the middle, right? So I head over to their wikipedia page and - what the fuck? Who are these chicks? The Pipettes have lost almost their entire original lineup. The only one I kind of remember is Gwenno - but according to wikipedia she wasn't even a part of the original lineup! What is this shit? I guess I was always aware The Pipettes were more of a project of the largely invisible backing band but damn. Sad.

Anyways, here it is, plus my own personal favorite...

Our Love Was Saved By A Spaceman

Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me

The Wombats! New Single! Hooray!

There are few things in this world that I love as unabashedly as The Wombats. They absolutely explode with energy, their fast, synthy guitar rock and fucking adorable British accents create some of the most fist pumpingly exciting songs I know. Sort of like British version of Voxtrot that focuses on much simpler themes.

Anyways, they just dropped a new single, which is pretty much the most amazingly excellent news Ive heard all day. Its pretty fantastic as well, at first it seems too move a little away from their somewhat stock tales of Love, Loss and Despair - but really, no. Its classic Wombats. And it works. As always. You should probably buy it, because the 7" looks pretty sexy.

There is also a music video for, which... works. I really dont understand what it is with young british Indie Rock bands doing cheap CG music videos, but whatevs, I suppose

Kill The Director

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.
