Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Runaway
From their new, and may I just add, excellent, album, "It's Blitz!", "Runaway" is just a fantastic song. I really like their older stuff but they have softened up a bit, and it's still very very fine. "Runaway" is definitely a new favorite song of mine.

Maria Timm: Dirty Place
I just love this song. It had to grow on me though. But now I listen to it every morning while biking through Copenhagen. What an amazing way to begin the day. I have previously listened to Maria Timm's voice in the band Marybell Katastrophy, but now she has made a little side solo project. She just came out with an album, but here is the video of Dirty Place for your pleasure:

Approaching Easter: Is Europe ready for Flo Rida's resurrection tecnique?
Hitting the charts in US these days is Flo Rida's brand new single: Sugar. And just like his previous one, I'm sure that every teenager and mainstream enthusiast will devour it.
I anticipate that this single also will be a hit among preteens and teenagers in Europe. Just as Flo Rida used samplings from 80's hit Dead or Alive: "You spin me Right Round" in his monster hit "Right Round", Flo Rida has brought a European hit machine from the 90's back to life. But is Europe - and especially the adult mainstream audience - ready for Italian Eiffel 65's "Blue (da ba dee)" not even a decade later?
My bet is: SURE! Just as Europe were ready for yet another round of Moldavian O-zone: "Dragostea Din Tei" just five years later through T.I. and Rihanna:"Live your life".
I'm certain that every teenager that didn't get to experience the music in the 90's will just love Flo Rida's 10 steps to resurrecting the European dance chart.
As for me, don't mind if I skip this holiday. To me, it sounds more like an exorcism than the beauty of a resurrected beloved.
For your pleasure or discomfort you can enjoy both the original "Blue" and "Sugar" below.

Sia: Buttons (CSS remix)
This Australian singer/songwriter has been worked over by CSS, and they have made an amazing remix, to drool over, or maybe to just shake a little rumple.
