  • My Album of the week:

    Digitalism - Idealism



    Everyone knows tracks like zdarlight or idealistic. This are old house releases but the album is much more then only house music. there is so much Daft Punk in there so much Electroclash and Synthpop. There are tracks you have to dance to like Pogo or homezone and other (indie)tracks like Apollo-Gize for a little break. The perfect album for a great home party. All in all I think it will be one of my favorite elctro releases in 2007 and at least they are from Hamburg...

    Pick of the week...

    New Young Pony Club - Fantastic Playroom (2007)



    I guess you could call these the English CSS.

    They were fantastic at the Reading/Leeds festival, top performance, as spritely as champagne bubbles rising.

    Today's Lyrics

    Chicks On Speed - Euro-Trash Girl

    Well I've been up to Paris
    and I've slept in a park.
    Went down to Barcelona
    someone broke in my car
    And I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl.
    Took the train down to Athens
    and I slept in a fountain.
    Some Swiss junkie in Turin
    ripped me off for my cash.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl.
    The CRS on the metro
    shook me down for a bribe.
    On my knees for the sergeant
    when my passport arrived.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl

    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl

    Called my mom from a payphone
    I said "I'm down to my last."
    She said "I sent you to college
    now go call your dad."
    And the waitress that he married
    well she hung up the phone.
    Ya know she never did like me
    but I can stand on my own.
    Sold my plasma in Amsterdam.
    Spent it all in a night
    buying drinks at the Melk Weg
    for a soldier in drag.
    And I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl

    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl
    my Eurotrash Girl

    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl
    Got a tattoo in Berlin
    and a case of the crabs.
    A rose and a dagger
    on the palm of my hand.
    And I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl.

    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl
    Eurotrash Girl

    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for my angel in black.
    Yeah, I'll search the world over
    for a Eurotrash Girl.

    Does It Offend You, Yeah? - You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into



    The band were recently slated by NME for "not meeting the new standard as set by The Klaxons". However, this is far superior stuff.

    Just goes to show how screwed modern music journalism is.

    Choice Video Cuts:

    "We Are Rockstars"



    "Let's Make Out"

  • Klaxons have at least one catchy tune.

    Too bad it's a cover version.
