To be honest I'm pretty bored of all the endless popstep that's doing the rounds right now. So thankfully Dr Meaker brings some refreshingly good sounds to the table with new single In My Soul. It's available on Sludge Records NOW so go and buy it yeah? Yeah!
Videos
Madeon - Pop Culture (Live Mashup)
I TOLD you this guy was a hero. Sexy new YouTube look by the way. I like.
The Subways - We Don't Need Money
Latest in the Right Guard street gig series is The Subways. Have to say they sort of passed me by when I was younger but he's actually got a pretty voice. And she's still looking pretty hot.
Kele Ft Lucy Taylor - What Did I Do
I've had the pleasure of knowing Lucy for the last few years, and have seen her grow from a shy (on stage, never in person) keys player with early Citadels, to singing some pretty strong lead vocals and now galavanting around in her underwear with Kele! Go Lucy.
And Kele's shaved his head! (bad move) and there's a little squeeze of dub! (good move, in a way)
Good Dangers - Brasilia
Head over to the main blog for Abigail by Good Dangers, in a minute, in the meantime take in some awesome images and a sexy little number.
Skream - Listening To The Records On My Wall
When is porn not porn? When it's a super weird Drum & Bass promo?
M.I.A - Born Free
It's been banned from YouTube, it's been banned from Scotland, but we have it here. Well, we've poached it from Vimeo actually but whatever. Give it a watch and let us know what you think. It's a strange one, but we like it. We are also massive fans of our ginger friends.

Mr Oizo - Where's The Money George?
Another sugar lump...
Booba - Salade Tomates Oignons
Tes oignons!

Miami Horror - Sometimes
Reminds me of that Pony Pony Run Run vid, and I sort of like it.
Spike Jonze & Kanye West - We Were Once a Fairytale
There are no words for this.
Empire Of The Sun - Without You
Some of the most interesting video content, well, interesting is pretty lame, some of the most bizarre yet amazing video content produced this year comes from Empire of the Sun with their live broadcast of the solar eclipse a few weeks ago, and now their new video for 4th single off one of NMB's favourite albums of last year Walking on a Dream. Here's Without You.. (oh and the single mix is MUCH better than the album version. So well done. But 3m34s? Really? What happened to 5m00s?)
Boys Noize - Jeffer
Analogue can be sexy too. Awesome tune, awesome video, enjoy...
The Bloody Beetroots (Feat. Cool Kids) - Awesome
The tune is a little bit ALL UP IN DA CLUUB for me, especially after Yeah Boy, but this video is da nutz. innit.
Metronomy - On The Motorway
More pretty colours
Animal Collective - My Girls
Best editing you'll see for a while, and somewhat more interesting than the stop motion stuff that's been taking over the internet the last couple of months. Check out audio for the high quality mp3.
Simian Mobile Disco - Audacity of Huge
Look at all the pretty colours!
Hecuba - Suffering
Check this and say it doesn’t make you feel strangely and perfectly aroused. Word.
Hecuba is currently on a west coast tour of the states supporting Bat for Lashes so just jet over and see them, let them know I sent you. I just got back from LA actually, not bad over there. That’s a lie, the first part of that’s a lie anyway, I just got back from Chelmsford. Same same.
Dan Black - Symphonies
Well if it isn't call New Scandinavian Music Blog, it might as well be called Dan Black Blog. This is sweet though. Enjoy.
Fight Like Apes - Tie Me Up
Superb animation and awesome lyrics reign here although the tune is pretty sweet too.
