weekenditty: "Ode to the Bouncer (Fear of Tigers remix)" - Studio Killers

One of the more hilarious songs of the year, so far, has been Ode to the Bouncer by Studio Killers.  I'm beginning to learn that Studio Killers are one of the more hilarious bands in existence.  In their newest single, Eros & Apollo, my favorite line was "all the boys turn gay wherever he goes... wow!"  I. Just. Can't.

In this track, the lead vocalist in the virtual band (like Gorillaz) complains about waiting outside a club to the bouncer.  Best lyrics I've heard in a while, and the first time I have ever heard an act write about a subject matter to which so many of us can relate.  Check out the videos below, as well.  Definitely enjoyable.


Fear of Tigers, once again, have delivered a solid remix.  This is perhaps my favorite remix of theirs, and definitely worth adding to your dance collection.  Below are some little delicious tidbits for you:


"We Are The Drums (Fear of Tigers remix)" - Le Kid

As someone of Swedish lineage (have you read my last name?), I always get excited when I hear something good come from IKEA Proper. Of course, everyone knows my long-past-borderline obsession with Robyn, as well as my great appreciations for Lykke Li, The Hives, The Knife, Teddybears, The Sounds, Caesars, Fever Ray, Miike Snow, Kleerup, Shout Out Louds, Millencolin, Peter Bjorn & John, ABBA, The Cardigans, and (lest we forget) Roxette! Can Sweden get any better, musically?


In any case, the constitutional kingdom of meatballs and allen wrenches produced Le Kid, a dual-female led synth rock band with a lot of spandex and sass. This Fear of Tigers remix has been out a few months, but is new to me, and that's all that matters. Hopefully you dig at as much as I do. Hooray!


Here's a lovely video of them performing the album version live.
