^Yep, just debuted on radio this morning
First single "Elephant" will be out later in the month too
I think my replay button is worn out. The album's going to be great. 
Also really love this one at the moment...
I thought I'd post this song here... at first I thought it sounds too much like other various foreign singers, but the more I listen to it, the less certain of it I am....
Does she sound to you like other artists, and if so, who?

^Tricky to pinpoint anyone specific - I can detect a little of Lykke Li in her voice, but the general approach (resolutely pop but drawing on folk and electro themes) reminds me more of Ellie Goulding. Also thought this song was pretty intriguing (forgive me Don, as it's not from 2012 
). Squint your ears a bit and it could be Kate Bush doing 'It's Blitz'-era Yeah Yeah Yeahs. 
Clearly, I haven't paid enough attention to these guys over the last few months. This one is a bit like The Strokes if they replaced Julian with Napoleon Dynamite, which needless to say, I use as a compliment.
Another bizarro video from Jack White. Look out for Josh Homme at the end. 
Ladyhawke covers Jefferson Airplane.
Gonna go see her tonight! 
^If I'm not mistaken Don, this is your second time seeing her, isn't it? I got to see her back in May, she's a far more confident live performer than I would have ever given her credit for. Very good stuff. Do let me know how it goes. 
New Bat For Lashes! 
^Gorgeous track

Indeed it was. I just got back, and it was terrific - leaps and bounds above the first show of hers I saw. She's definately gotten better as a performer over the past few years, and of course when you have two albums to draw songs from rather than just one, it makes for a better and longer show. Not only that, it was in a much better venue, and I got to rock out right up the front
She also pulled out the White Rabbit cover in the encore
I also scored a ticket to Regina Spektor the other day, for her tour this December. Can. Not. Wait.

:Dinah:
Lovely beautiful song.
new xx sounds a little Beach House-y and I ain't mad
btw I saw Jack White live. I HAVE BEEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A GOD. It was night and raining and there were sound issues but when it was fixed, and those guitar sounds came out full blast, the skies filled with lightning and thunder for there was ROCK to be played.
and along with Jack I saw The Killers, Black Keys, Death Cab, John Legend, Young the Giant, Ra Ra Riot (no Allie Lawn 
), The Head and the Heart, Grouplove, and an up and coming indie pop sensation Penguin Prison (think Passion Pit but more wigger/less gay)
all for $20. volunteer for music festivals people. you won't regret it
Good call on the Alt-J too, Matt. I've been smashing this album lately
It's just one of those albums you don't get tired of isn't it! They're coming to my city but they're playing the same night as WHY? so I won't be able to go 
I'm not sure if I ever fully got the hype about the first xx album, but I really like that track. 
Bloody love Tame Impala too. There'll be no getting 'Elephant' out of my head for about the next month and a half. 
Also, currently kicking myself for not giving this album a shot sooner...
^Very nice! Must go investigate more.. 
The Shins cover The Magnetic Fields' Andrew in Drag
Metric cover Willie Nelson's Always On My Mind
^Very good stuff. Treated myself to the new Metric album just this week.
Here's another tune I really like at the moment. I'm reliably informed that they supported School of Seven Bells recently.... 
Quite like this one too. Apparently, there's a full album due next month.
^Interesting combo
(Y)^Very good stuff. Treated myself to the new Metric album just this week.
Clone is one of my favourite songs right now 
New Mumford has me looking forward to the new album too
I like Jack White live too . Its also suddenly dawned on me that I've unintentionally abandoned her thread 
. Since I couldn't find it, I guess I'll just post here .
