"Miss Atomic Bomb" (Felix Cartal remix) - The Killers

For all The Killers fans out there who have lost hope in the band whose album I consider the biggest flop of 2012, there's still hope in the remixes of their material.  Soon to be electro legend Felix Cartal who has consistently made music beyond his 25 years, cleans up Brandon Flowers & Co.'s recent abortion of a single, Miss Atomic Bomb.  Enjoy:

Monarchy returns with "Disintegration"

Monarchy returns with this nü disco track which is so gloriously synthetic hipster homosexual, it shops at Urban Outfitters.  Vocals by Dita Von Teese - which I'm sure is her real name.

Justin Timberlake returns

JT returns with a decent little ditty. Expectations are high, but at least it all comes in a year where fellow pop titans Beyoncé, Britney, are Gaga are held to the same (nearly impossible to achieve) standards.

Kylie, as many know, is my #2.  She is second only by inches to the great ROBYN, and I will adore Kylie and her influence for years to come (into my world).  She is simply the Empress of Electro, Queen of Club, Down Under Doyenne of Dance, International Sovereign of Synthpop, Prima Donna of Provocative, and our very own Aphrodite.  Here are 41 minutes of 31 songs in a non-stop homage mix to the one and only KYLIE MINOGUE!

fresh: "Skyfall" (Cosmic Dawn v. MAJR edit) - Adele

Ol' tons-o'-fun Adele returns here with her contribution to a tradition even more British than she is... Skyfall for the latest 007 film.  To be honest, I could care less about James Bond, and I've never thought of any single one of his versions as attractive, nor do I fall over for his apparently suave nature.  Give me Frodo with hairy feet, ugly friends, and old gay wizards any day.  

In any case, Cosmic Dawn is one of the most superb producers out there, and once again the Scandinavian sorcerer of synth returns with a dance remix of a track no one else had yet to conquer for the clubs.  And, now that's over.  So, I edited it to my liking, and the rest is history.  It might not be a straight-up crazy Pound the Alarm-esque bloop-blip-bloop-blip-bloop status quo track- but that's why I enjoy it.  It brings a splash of retro trance into the mix in all the right ways.  Not really Tïesto or AVB-style, but more Paul Van Dyk (IMO the king of trance-dance).

So, that's that.  Enjoy the delightfully chunky chanteuse haunting away your dreams until you dance your way into a midnight snack with her:

indie VIDEO overload: 6 fresh sounds for you

During this time off (3-4 weeks...), I really thought about my roots in music... and I know I've dived deeply into quality pop over the last three years to great extent and expense.  

It's time to bring it back a little (balance is good) to focus on the sounds that made me who I am, musically.  INDIE dance, rock, pop, and folk have been my loves, my foundation, and my consolation... and they are what awakened my ears to such an expanse.  

Definitely dive into "Endless Wave" by PARADISE and dive into a rare STROKES sample by Heartsrevolution in "Not that Hard to Explain."  Brilliant.

So, here are a few quality indie rock videos to get your ears and eyes agape to new things (god I hate using the word 'things').  My first INDIE OVERLOAD entry:

introducing: PHEBE STARR

Apologies for the wait between posts.  I've been updating the TUMBLR, in the meantime.  On Wednesday, I'll focus on some new quality indie videos from acts that should be much more popular than they are on this side of the Atlantic, but today I wish to focus on a beaming new star(r)let: Phebe Starr.  Fresh from Down Under, this lovely little minx is ready to claim the ears of lovers of Sia, Marina, Florence, Bjork, Imogen, Regina, et al.  I missed the boat on this particular track, (released this summer), but it's new to me, and I'm in love.  What about you?
