PS I Love You - "Facelove"
your love is like a delicious glass of wine thrown in my face
your love is like a naive dream of mine thrown in my face
Chiddy Bang Ft. Kate Nash - "Breakfast"
This song with two parts Chiddy Bang and a dose of Kate Nash is part of a balanced breakfast:
Xaphoon Jones is a genius, but i really like Chiddy's lyrics. They're very intelligent ("Not an SAT so don't test this"), relevant and at times political.

SUNBEARS!
SUNBEARS! is a drum + keyboard + laptop duo from Jacksonville, Florida. I've actually seen them in concert-- they opened up for a Mates of State concert in Toronto in April 2009.
I'm not even joking; I remember the drummer being awesome, I remember they had a projection show, which now i realize was very avant-garde for the time. (see 3rd video)
And i remember being like "who are these people?" because they were playing when we came in. They were the pre-opener act, i.e. they opened for the opening band Black Kids, who ended up being better than Mates of State.

Robyn Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony
Robyn, the quintessential pop princess, performed as part of the Nobel Peace Prize Concert on Dec. 11, 2010:
She performs
1) Jag vet en dejlig rosa, a Swedish folk song.
2) Dancing On My Own
3) Indestructible
This is an unstoppable performance; Robyn is on fire. Not only does she showcase her incredible vocals (i cant get over how could she sounds live!) but also her boundless energy and enthusiasm. The saddest part is that no one is dancing (or even showing the least bit of head movement)-- i guess diplomats dont dance.
You may or may not remember Robyn's 2008 performance at the same ceremony. She sang heart-droppingly beautiful acoustic version of "Be Mine":

Reasons for seeing the new Tron film:
#2. Olivia Wilde's skin.
#3. The light cycle chase scene. (i googled 'Tron car' lol)
#4. The special effects?
#5. The Tourist was sold out.
Conclusion: the only reason for wanting to see this film is the new Daft Punk music. Touche Disney, Touche.
Q.E.D.
SIDENOTE! this is my 200th post! holy fack.

Freelance Whales - "Generator 1st Floor"
did you know you can embed from myspace? neither did i. how can you embed from the lifeless corpse of a social network? fact: the music part of myspace is the only thing keeping it alive; it's its automatic respirator.
Find more artists like Freelance Whales at Myspace Music
Update: the fact that the above embed failed to work only reaffirms my earlier point.
SIDENOTE! that reminds me of this "amazing" joke i once thought up:
What's Elmo's favourite concert venue in Toronto? The EL MOcambo.
