VERONICA FALLS video/ TEETH video

what an exciting day!
finally two songs i've been in love with for about two years are out there in the world!

the first is Veronica Fall's 'Come On Over'. A song I first heard when VF performed at the club MÏLK & These People Are Squares all dayer in Herne Hill way back in August 2009. Despite only managing to record the last half of the song on my digital camera it was enough to get me hooked. I even tried to learn the guitar parts by ear, despite not knowing how to play the guitar, AND NOW IT'S HERE in video and as a FREE DOWNLOAD via pitchfork (link below).
I heard today that the promo of the album is getting considerably rinsed by Rough Trade and will probably be in the running for album of the year (Out September 20th via Slumberland!). It really couldn't be anything but, could it? Gush Gush Gush. Listen / watch. this is the best song of the year, three years running;

----------------------------------------

NEXT up in the best day that youtube has ever had in it's history is the video for 'CARE BEAR' by TEETH!!!. This has been a personal favourite of mine for years, i was adament I wanted to release this song. It's a hit. It's the neu pop. Moshi Moshi got that honour AND will be releasing TEETH!!!'s much anticipated debut LP (September 19th!! what an amazing couple of days that will be!)
Lots of top drawer moves happening in this video, special guest appearances galore!

FOLLOWER [download]

In september this year i made another trip over to New York to immerse myself in that city's awesome community of young musicians/ creative people. well, actually i guess that was more the side project to the US visit, objective numero uno would be taking my mum on holiday. but in between the shopping trips to bloomingdales and sightseeing (no we didn't go to ground zero) i managed a night out, got totally wasted, alone, and saw some wicked bands.

so i head to a warehouse bordering queens and brooklyn, downstairs is bar and array of diy computer games (!?), upstairs was wall of sofas and floor space for bands, backdrop was giant murals of monstrous creatures, of course. this place was trendy to fuck but pretty dead. a chance meeting a few weeks later, in london, with one of the guy's that lives there goes a ways to explaining it's apparent lack of a crowd, as despite being well known amongst bands and musicians as one of the places to play an awesome diy show in new york, it never quite caught the attention of the natives being as it was almost outside of brooklyn!
anyway, i'm settled on the sofa-wall, post first band, pouring another whiskey into my already 2/3rds whiskey filled bottle of diet coke when MIRROR MIRROR take to the floor. These three guys are really great live, recordings on the website/spotify in no way do them justice, they're really involving and electric live. and really seemed to give a fuck, despite literally a max of two rows of people watching them at the height of the crowd's interest. killer.

Following them were... FOLLOWER. i was totally out of it by their set but this duo almost brought me back to a state of lucid consciousness with their heartfelt, demanding but minimal electronic hip hop.



the music cut through the fog of whiskey and weed that was my mind, just enough so that I might force myself to remember their name.
and that's all I remember... that and the sense that i've just seen a fucking incredible new band.
