Summit

Skrillex has been pretty much killing it with his most recent releases, including this collab with arguably my favorite female artist, Ellie Goulding.
If you haven't heard this song already, take a listen:

Happy Holidays! I know it's been a while since my last post but I brought you a good one, promise.

It's a new single from Kid Cudi:

Miike Snow

Miike Snow is not a person, but a Swedish indie electronic pop band comprised of Christian Karlsson,Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt.

Their single "Animal" was an instant blogger favorite in 2009. Since then everyone has been looking forward to hearing some new tunes.
The bands second album is due out sometime in 2012 but until then take a listen to their newest song "Devil's Work"

Lykke Li

Lykke Li ("Lick-ee Lee") is a 24 year old singer-songwriter hailing from Sweden. Her songs speak of love and of growing up, reflected in the titles of her albums: Youth Novels and her sophomore album released earlier this year, Wounded Rhymes. A couple of years ago I heard her song "Little Bit" and fell in love with the creativity of her songwriting and the uniqueness of her voice. Her music is a mix of pop, indie rock, and electronic, but there are elements of her sound that make it difficult to classify into any one genre.

I saw her front and center at Lollapalooza this past summer and she blew me away. She's just as lively and crazy on stage as you could imagine by listening to her music.

Here are a couple photos I took at the show:

Check out this video of an acoustic version of her song "Youth Knows No Pain".


Lykke Li has come a long way since 2008 and even made it as far as the moon. Yup, you read correctly:

Metric - Eclipse

I have had this song on repeat for days, finding it very fitting to the place I am at in my life right now. The original is an amazing track but nothing compares to the the rawness and emotion of the acoustic version.

From one of my favorite bands (I'll probably be posting more Metric in the future) comes one of my favorite songs written for a movie soundtrack:

Metric - Eclipse [All Yours] (Acoustic) by elmoudy

I also love the beginning of the song's official music video.


Okay okay so just because this song was written for the 3rd movie of the Twilight series does not degrade its excellence.
