like stars burning holes right through the dark



Well, here's a lot of music to compensate for the lack of music for the past couple of days, been celebrating.


Nedry - Apples & Pears
Pretty interesting song with quite haunting vocals and electronic-ky stuff going on. Sometimes it's semi/full acoustic-electronic, if you get my drift. Oh like another song, Clouded which is terrific in my opinion. A little ambient, if you discount the whole blips and electronic thingamajig.

Ayu - Marching of the Night
She's the vocalist of Nedry. This track was her solo work, which shows how good her vocals are.

Discovery - Orange Shirt (mp3)
UBER cute, sweet little love song, just don't die on the sugar overdose. I really didn't expect this when clicking play. Neat touch that most can appreciate.

The xx - Basic Space (mp3)
For those not on The xx bandwagon yet (when are you ever gonna get on it huh?), get right on now with this download offered on their parent label site. You'd be hard-pressed to not love their music.

Run Toto Run - Sleepyhead (Passion Pit Cover)
Holy crikes, check this awesome cover of Passion Pit's song. Fantastic rendition without ANY synths or electronica or whatever. Just the guitar, xylophone, simple keyboard which she almost doesn't seem to use, a banjo or ukulele (i can't really make it out in the shadow) and violin. Damn it, it's good man. And the two guys in headmasks playing their instruments, esp the violin made me burst out in laughter. The whole juxtaposition is hilarious. Props much to Run Toto Run.

Here's what they said on myspace under this embedded video, "Email mail@runtotorun.co.uk and we'll email you the mp3".

The Big Pink - Love In Vain
All nice and slow, good change from their usual sound.

Anya Marina - Whatever You Like (T.I. Cover)
Really sexy and breathy cover of T.I.'s popular dance floor song. A collab for the two and a single, how about that?

The Polyamorous Affair - Merry Go Round
Belle du jour, rigga rigga? Party till the break of dawn. Solid track that's as good as New York City.
