I'm afraid it's one of those highly original music video blog posts again in which I throw a ton of music at a make believe audience and hope it sticks. Like velcro.
First up is Lana Del Rey with Video Games. She's been described as looking like a cross between Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman. Can you see it?? She has that ruggedy voice that soon spirals into a sex kitten kinda tone that I would cut my imaginary balls off to own.
Now for a little bit of domestic heaven/hell with CocoRosie's 'By your side'. Seems to be an ode to being a hausen frausen at first till the line 'I'll wear your black eyes'. Wah? Shit. I just thought you wanted to iron clothes. I like the kooky, gospel-ish voice playing alongside. No idea if it's Bianca or Sierra but it's so cool. Listen and spread like a virus.
Something with a bit of bounce but again, very, very cool. Saadi- Pollen Seeking Bees. I love this song. No idea what the video is about but this is the only version of it that I could find on ootube. The entirity of this song is somewhere floating around on the t'internet. It's worth it. I want her album.
And finally, a great song to end this blogosphere mini mix tape. Ultra Orange Emmanuelle's perfect 'Don't Kiss me Goodbye'. It being sung in a French accent just adds to the appeal. Totally pinched from the soundtrack of 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. Swipe.
FINIS bruva.
