Mowgli’s Road

I don’t know what to make of the new Marina & the Diamonds video.. It’s just basically very, very weird.

Marina and Wolf Gang

Last night was WELL good. If you saw the flyer below a couple of posts, I went to the Neon Gold party at the Sanderson Hotel last night in London. Yeah, THE SANDERSON. It’s a joke in there, amongst all the obnoxious rich boys and their far too attractive girlfriends, we managed to slip in a nice space at the front of the courtyard to catch some really good acoustic sets from the singer from Wolf Gang, and Marina & the Diamonds doing a stripped down version of a few of her hits.

It was chucking it down with rain and with the ‘hostesses’ running around trying to throw towels at anything even resembling rain so not to fuse the entire night, we had a really good time. The highlight was Marina covering Gwen Stefani’s What You Waiting For to a far too over enthusiastic crowd.

Here are some photos taken by me at a jaunty angle.

All in all it was rather a good night, especially for free.

Neon Gold Tomorrow

Hoorah! I finally get to see Marina & the Diamonds AND Wolf Gang. It’s tomorrow evening at the Sanderson hotel just off Oxford Street. Come down, it’s going to be ace.

New Marina Video

The new video for Marina & The Diamonds I am Not A Robot has been leaked today,  it’s pretty much amazing, and glittery and very very good.

New Marina, For Her Diamonds.

Hey y’all.

A couple of new remixes of Marina’s I am not a Robot. Plus, a nice acoustic version to start you off.  If this is your kind of thing, then get over and order Crown Jewels out on Neon Gold records from the other day for $6.

Bargain.

Busy Me

Some new(ish) remixes and a couple of new songs for you, and for me. Sorry i’ve been a bit shit recently. Been working more than this lady:

 

Little Boots – Meddle (Old Money Edit) <— They have done two remixes, but this is the best, I love how Little Boots’s songs are so great when turned to Grime remixes.

Calvin Harris – I’m Not Alone (Deadmau5 Edit)

Daft Punk – Harder, Faster, Stronger (Deadmau5 Remix)

Marina and the Diamonds – The Outsider

Music Go Music – Warm in the Shadows

Royksopp – You Don’t Have A Clue <—- My favourite from the new album, now i’m waiting for Senior to be released.

Quickly, please.

In my absence from the blogging World, I’ve had time to go through some amazing emails from artists, have raided Hypem and been incredibly vigilant in reading other people’s blogs…  I’ve collected an amazing amount of new music that I want to share with you, lucky.

My latest obsession seems to be inspired by this remix:

Obsessions – Marina and the Diamonds (Aspirin for my Children Remix)

Not much information on this lady, other than that she is from Poland…. Cool little remix from the power electro re-mixers:

Dark Circles – Avain X (Designer Drugs Remix)

Everyone knows who Fleetwood Mac are, so no introduction needed there, I hope… Cosmo Vitelli is another amazing French artists, with his own record label which has released records for Simian Mobile Disco and Yuksek, needless to add, he is pretty good and so is this:

Keep on Going – Fleetwood Mac (Cosmo Vitelli Edit)

It’s Drum and Bass time! I rarely listen to this genre, but always keep an eye out for High Contrast remixes:

Time To Pretend – MGMT (High Contrast Remix)

I hate the Ting Ting’s, probably why I welcome a remix every now and again to make their music bearable. After Tom Neville’s amazing remix of Not My Name, Bimbo Jones puts a great spin on their new(ish) song:

Fruit Machine – The Ting Ting’s (Bimbo Jones Remix)

Amazingly hard to find this one, featured on Annie Mac’s Mash Up a couple of weeks ago, it’ll be hitting the blogosphere hard, as most associations with La Roux do:

In For The Kill – La Roux (Skream’d Let Get Ravey Remix)

Their remix of Grace Jones’s Williams Blood was amazing, one of my favourite records of 2008 in fact. I jumped at the chance to listen to this one, and I think you’ll see why:

God Only Knows – The Beach Boys (Aeroplane Bootleg)

The Police, Disco Tech, need I say more:

Roxanne – The Police (Disco Tech Remix)

Any excuse to post a Fleetwood picture…

Hello Diamonds.

This wonderful lady has been on my Myspace radar for quite some time now.  She introduces herself as Marina, and we, apparently, are her Diamonds. Her blogs on Myspace are probably the most open and honest that I have read from a ‘celebrity’ and sometimes maybe a bit too personal, but then hey, that is what blogs are for right? In summary ” I am not some fad or premeditated trend. I am Marina, I have built my dream from scratch and I am going to create something brilliant. I wont disappoint you.”

And how right she is.
