Beirut covering Caetano Veloso
Everything about this is gorgeous. Beirut is awesome. Also now I wanna learn Portugese.
Quite apart from the fact that this song rocks, this compilation album raises money for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, so everyone should go buy it straight away.

Cat's Eyes have the potential to become my new favorite band.
Or maybe Cat's Eyes is just one guy. It seems like it could be just one guy. I'm not sure.
Point is, how gorgeous is that song? Cat's Eyes have more like it.

summer music.
Seeing as I've nothing new to say but feel the need to blog anyway, I thought I'll give you the obligatory list of 'summer songs'. Okay? Woohoo.
1. The City by Patrick Wolf
I've been waiting to show you guys, one way or another, this song for ages. Months. While, when it comes to music I am prone to hyperbole, I think I'm speaking with sense when I say that this might be one of the best pop songs I've ever heard. Apparently his new album, Lupercalia, is full of great pop songs. If I were you, I'd buy the record based on its awesome name alone, but Patrick Wolf is something of a Pop Song Master soooo I'm sure you're in for a treat. It's not released physically in the US yet but I'm gonna get it the moment I go back to the UK.
2. Mornin' by Star Slinger
Trip-tastic hipster electronica, why not. One of the best bands of 2011 so far. Sounds like never ending summer days, heat waves, and friends.
3. Five Years Time by Noah & the Whale
I'd pay more attention to this than their recent work. This song will never leave my Summer Playlist, I reckon. It's just so damn adorable.
4. Crave You by Flight Facilities
Again, this is hipstertastic, but it has tribal drums and sounds like midday heat.
5. With Love by Elbow
This is only an excerpt, you'll have to deal with crappy audio or buy the record if you wanna listen to the whole beautiful song. But, my god, go buy the record because it is soooo good.
6. In the Water by Beat Connection
Yeah, I listen to too much chillwave for my own good. Oh well.
7. Kiss of Life by Friendly Fires
Let's grab some African drums, go to a beach, and dance like Thom Yorke.
8. Pensacola by Manchester Orchestra
Alcohol, dirty malls, pensacola, florida bars. Nothing about this song makes sense or fits in with anything else this band have ever done, but let's drive down a highway and scream the lyrics with the windows down.
9. Hair by Lady Gaga
No matter how many times I listen to this, I'm still not sure what to make of Lady Gaga comparing her freedom to her hair. *shrugs*. But this is an AWESOME pop song, one of the best on the new album. Endless fun here.
10. Let's Stay Together by Al Green
So, er, don't judge me by putting a soul song on this list. It's just...good, okay? Okay I'll leave now.
Hope you enjoy something, as always. I'll post more songs in the future, I'm sure.
Now, to magazines and the Office. night!
Okay. Bye.
