The Saturday Mix #5 - It's TIMEEEE

Sally Shapiro - Miracle

The Most Serene Republic - Heavens to Purgatory

Fever Ray - Triangle Walks

The Decemberists - The Wanting Comes In Waves

Animal Collective - My Girls
reminds me of the Home Video - I Can Make You Feel It video.

Dan Deacon - Snookered

The Knife - Neverland

i think Snookered is a fantastic song, and I think he's one to look out for. Incredibly talented and worth checking out. May feature him soon, look out for it.

Home Video - I Can Make You Feel It
papermag.com describes this song to a T. "a pulsating number characterised by solid drumbeats, killer keyboard, tambourine accents, haunting harmonies and an eerie electro current." totally true.
at the same time, you can grab their EP "It Will Be OK" here which includes the above song.

Uh Huh Her - Explode
yet another electro-pop group/band. of late, i've been listening to a lot of them, like Ladytron, Au Revoir Simone, Fever Ray and now Uh Huh Her. Part Leisha Hailey, who's acting in "The L Word", and Camila Grey, they got their name from an album released by PJ Harvey.

Priscilla Ahn - Astronaut
her. voice. is. very. good. and she sounds as good as in the studio version, if not better. really looking forward to her sophomore effort.

Priscilla Ahn - Dream
enough said. i think this is the first time that i'm featuring 2 songs by the same artist in one post. it brooked no further delay that i introduce this most wonderful singer and songwriter to my limited number of readers. lay your hands on her album "A Good Day", by hook or by crook.
