Home As A Romanticised Concept

Woodpigeon are described by the Guardian today as "Canada's best-kept secret … the most unjustly overlooked band in Canada" which I completely agree with. Their melodic and instrumental Indie music can easily be compared to Belle and Sebastian or Arcade Fire with a huge group of people playing a huge amount of instruments to create some lovely music.
They recently played at End Of the Road festival near my parents home in Dorset in possibly the most amazing setting for a folk/indie festival that you can imagine, check that out here and book your tickets for next year if you're into that kind of genre. I highly recommend it.

Repeat.

You must must must sign up for Palms Out Sounds weekly remix/mash up mp3. This week it featured possibly the most blogged about artist at the moment (according to Hype machine anyway...) Little Boots. Not that I'm bias but this is pretty brilliant:

Little Boots vs. Opus 3 - Stuck on Repeat (Richard X Blend)

P.S I am not stalking Little Boots I promise.

FatBoy WHAT?

Welcome to Brighton, fans.

Sex Up My Brain

Designer Drugs are those kind of DJ's that seem like their high school acid dropping days will never end. Funnily enough, it was their school days that inspired their name. They make storming club, electro remixes of really well known songs and recently have remixed Little Boots' Meddle which if you know this blog at all, excites me somewhat.
Here are a few of their amazing remixes to kick start your weekend. And yes, it does feature Mariah Carey.



Little Boots - Meddle (Designer Drugs Coke Jam Remix)

Mariah Carey - I'll be Loving You Long Time (Designer Remix)

Hail Social - Heaven (Designer Drugs Remix) This one is on another old blog post...

Mission Control - Interspace (Designer Remix)

Fake Shark Real Zombie - Fake Shark Real Zombie (Designer Drugs Remix)

New Machine Addict - Sex Up My Brain

Jupiter One - Countdown (Rmx)


A nice little mixtape they did a while back:
Designer Drugs - DATAMIX02.mp3

Scala & Kolacny Brothers

Slightly unusual to my taste in music, but never the less, well worth writing about. Scala and the Kolacny Brothers are a Belgian choir famed for their slightly haunting versions of well known pop and indie songs. Here are a few of my favourites from their quite impressive collection.

Teenage Dirtbag
Heartbeats
Creep
I Touch Myself


I think you'll agree that they are definitely worth a listen on a wintery day and it's clear we have plenty of those coming.
