Lykke Li - I’m Good, I’m Gone (Black Kids Remix)
Lykke Li - Dance, Dance, Dance

Well, she’s totally buzzing. She just released her first album ‘Youth Novels’ in the UK, and Lykke Li is destined to come to the US sooner than later. If you missed her at SXSW or the handful of shows she booked over the nation afterwards, keep your head up. She’s all booked up across the pond until mid August of 08, but has about a month where she could ‘possibly’ come to the US. I’m thinking with the buzz that I’ve been getting about her, it’s gonna happen. Maybe not then, but maybe for a winter tour.

Currently, there are no slated plans to release ‘Youth Novels’ in the US, so your best bet on getting your hands on this music is by hitting up here and here and here. (visit 5. Secret Chapter)

It’s amazing that this girl is only 22 years old, has her own record label, and has music that I actually enjoy. Another artist makes it big from Myspace, and this time, I’m not even mad about it. I hope you aren’t either.

Grand National Vs. The Bee Gees - Dancing in the Distance

Possibly one of the finer things in life that I’m beginning to enjoy. Mashups. This is where a DJ or just a music maniac will take two tracks of incredible music, and mash them together creating one massive, this is too good for radio - track. Today, in lieu of Grand Nationals 2nd album release, ‘A drink & A quick decision’ I’ve found a mashup of their first hit single ‘Playing in the Distance’ mashed w/ The Bee Gees ‘You should be dancing.’

Check it out, love it, live it, etc.
