Since I listen to iTunes while I’m drawing and exercising every day, I have a tendency to listen to a song or album until I wear it out too quickly.  So I’m constantly on the lookout for new music.  The self-titled album of Norwegian singer, Annie, was one of these recent purchases.  It took me a little while to warm up to her, but slowly I’m finding the charm in her breezy, bubble gum pop.

Indeed, a song off her old album, Chewing Gum , describes her sound perfectly. Upon finding the video on Youtube today, I realized that I have heard this song before, and it just wafted through my mind without leaving much of an imprint. But now, I get it, and perhaps I like the video even more. It’s simple, but clever.

Here’s a cool new Space Invaders themed video from the Norwegian band, Röyksopp, and their upcoming album, Junior.

…And just for the fun of it, here’s a great music video I found today.  Very creative, and a great song, too.  Reminds me a lot of the 80’s stop motion videos like “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel and “And She Was” by The Talking Heads.

 

The newest Kylie Minogue video has been making its way around the gay blogosphere.

I haven’t really liked much off her last two albums, but I like this video quite well. The movement, the kaleidoscopic design… it’s all very… Goldfrapp.   Read more »

This is one of the most striking, creative, and innovative music videos I’ve seen in a while, coming from a woman who helped define the look of the 80’s. Simple, but extremely effective, and thoroughly modern. On top of that, I really dig the song, too.
