miike snow ft. lykke li - "black tin box"

i referred to this as "a track made in heaven" last week on twitter when @ModernStyleCo posted a link to it - whereupon i was quickly corrected...

same difference.

keep shelly in athens - "just like honey"

KEEP SHELLY IN ATHENS cover of THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN's "just like honey" is pure bliss.

still...

you know it's true audio love when a whole week later you're still bangin' it on repeat.

adeptus

niva - "dirty water" the remixes

found these a couple of days ago via no modest bear - rarely are all of the remixes worthy of writing about.

cubic zirconia - "take me high" (bart b more remix)

and you can dance.

azealia banks - "bambi"

seems YUNG RAPUNXEL can do no wrong - musically and lyrically speaking of course.

tennis - "origins" (live in portland, or)

their new album "young and old" leaked yesterday - but for those of you who hate leaks - it'll be released on 2.14.12

sleigh bells - "comeback kid"

Get More: Sleigh Bells, Comeback Kid, Music, More Music Videos

azealia banks - "needsumluv"

AZEALIA's new joint was produced by MACHINEDRUM and contains a classic vocal sample of Alliyah (who would've turned 33 today). seems like she's smartly diversifying in very few directions that other "start up rappers" ever have before.

grimes - "genesis"

GRIMES is the BJORK of today's younger music-savvy generation.

kornél kovács - "down since '92"

i caught this on the NO MODEST BEAR blog yesterday... i can't get enough of that old-school-chicago-house-vibe coming from none other than this young swedish lad in the video - big ups kornél kovács.

yelawolf ft. kid rock - "let's roll"

i'm posting this video for a lot of reasons - but mainly for the mere fact that it exists.

julian holter - "marienbad"

loving this new track and video.

evian christ - "thrown like jacks"

the anonymous producer going under the name "EVIAN CHRIST" is causing quite a frenzy in some sections of the musical blogosphere.

being described as "ambient meets juke" as well as some others musical categorizations, i prefer to file under "TRIPSTEP" which, if i'm right, will be the next big music category surfacing in '12. (#tripstep)

you can hear other of EVIAN CHRIST's tracks on his/her youtube channel where they were posted just before the new year.

jj - "vi"

one of the few worthy releases of the 2011 holiday season.
