Moloko - The Time is Now
Moloko - The Time is Now.
Moloko - The Time is Now (Bambino Casino Mix)
One of my favorite songs, ever ever ever ever. EVER. I remember the moment I found out that the vocals behind Moloko and Roisin Murphy were one in the same. I cannot even tell you how quickly my synapses reacted and in such a positive way. Pure endorphins. She has a voice of a goddess. Original and remix both good in their own right. ENJOY!

I think we all know that the greatest show of our decade is Fox's smash hit, "So You Think You Can Dance." Often, they supply their viewers with an excellent mix of music, special remixes, and moments that are seared into your memory, forever linking dance to song. This song IS IT. It's dangerous, so proceed with caution.

Sometimes when you google yourself, embarassing things pop up. This is one way of covering that up and posting a great song. I remember running through the wet grass falling a step behind.

Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair
Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair
I had to embed the video from MTV, so I can't control any awkwardness resulting from pre-video advertising. Sorry.
This song will cure what ails ye--but I ask myself, why didn't you go to the talent show, Antwone Fisher? You said thanks, but no thanks, to Alicia Keys in favor of cards and dancing with some jezebel at the pajama party? Fool.

Dear Karen O, your penchant for studded leather and screaming make me want to be a rockstar.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around The Bend

So we recently just had another meteor. This song has nothing to do with that other than the name of the group, but I must say, their sound is somewhat astral. Gimme good good times around the bend.

Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions Ft Beth Ditto
Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions Feat. Beth Ditto.
Ok, I don't mean to be a fanboy, but Im really liking the musical stylings of this Simian Mobile Disco with the chilling voice of Beth Ditto. It's just a winning combination. The title also makes me think of Sebastian and tiny crosses filled with coke.

Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You.
This is the kind of song I like to hear at any moment of any day. Yeah, its a little bit roller disco, but get over it. It's been remixed so many times, but the original is still the best. Happy Birthday H & S.
