Ladytron - Ace of Hz

Ladytron will be releasing their new single "Ace of Hz" later this month.  It is on their Soundcloud page, and I managed to rip it from Soundcloud for use on my iPod.  It will be on their greatest hits compilation Ladytron 00-1.

Had to remove link.

The Golden Filter - Memorial Day

This unreleased track called "Memorial Day" was posted to The Golden Filter's official YouTube account sometime last year (I think).  Happy Memorial Day to all the veterans out there!

The Golden Filter - Memorial Day 

Lady GaGa - Judas

I didn't really like the song "Judas", but three of my favorite artists have improved the song by remixing it.  The Royksopp remix isn't the best quality, sadly.  I will repost with a better version if I find one (unless this post gets flagged).

*Sigh*.  Mediafire took down all three files.  I have reuploaded them.  Sigh again.  Now Blogger decided to set the post to "draft" thanks to yet another DMCA complaint.  I should just find another host.  This is getting annoying

I had also found a better quality version of the Royksopp remix.  If you want them, you can email me.

Nicole Scherzinger - Cold

Nicole Scherzinger's solo album Killer Love has finally been released.  I was disappointed to find that the track "Cold" was not included (well, at least on the copy I have).  This is a really good dance ballad that was leaked a couple of months ago (I think).

Sadly, I had to take it down.

iamamiwhoami mashups

First of all, I'm sorry the Best of 2010 post is gone - I got a DMCA notification and it was reset to Draft status, and I got fed up with having to remove all those links.  I will get around to finishing it eventually.

That being said, I am patiently waiting for something new from the iamamiwhoami project.  I have decided to put up some mash ups I've found on the web.  The first one is a mashup of the first prelude video and the first single from the How To Destroy Angels EP called "The Space In Between".  The second one is a mash up of the third prelude video and the song "Arch Angel" by Burial.

The Prelude inbetween

Best of 2010

It was a pretty good year for new music, though.  Some of my favorite artists released new albums this year (Kylie Minogue and Goldfrapp, to name two).  I've also discovered new ones (iamamiwhoami, even though they started releasing their videos in 2009 they didn't start releasing their singles until this year).  Below is a compilation of the best songs of this year (in my opinion, of course).

The criteria for this was simple - it had to be released this year, in some shape or form - whether on an album, b-side to a single or released online (digital only releases through iTunes or Amazon MP3, for example).  I also had to have liked it and played it all throughout the year.  Some of these have not been posted on the blog yet.  I have included individual links as well as all the songs packed into a zip file (it will show up as a compilation in iTunes).

1. iamamiwhoami - o
2. iamamiwhoami - t
3. Goldfrapp - Alive
4. Goldfrapp - Believer
5. Kylie Minogue - Everything is Beautiful
6. Kylie Minogue - Aphrodite
7. Scissor Sisters - Sex Exciter
8. Hurts - Wonderful Life
9. Hurts - Better Than Love
10. Ladytron - Ace of Hz
11. Freezepop - Magnetic
12. Christina Aguilera - Birds of Prey
13. The Golden Filter - Thunderbird
14. The Golden Filter - Solid Gold
15. Spark - Revolving
16. Kaskade featuring Dragonette - Fire In Your New Shoes
17. The Ting Tings - Hands
18. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Bittersweet

Links had to be removed.  DMCA notice again.  Sigh.  You can email me if you want a link to the compilation or the tracks that hadn't been featured on the blog until now.  What's really messed up about this is that this time I didn't get an email from them regarding this complaint, so I have no idea which artist triggered the complaint.

Christmas Music

I just posted a bunch of Christmas music.  The music I uploaded last year can be found in the right column under the heading "Christmas Music 2009".

I have some more stuff to post, but I'll post it in the next week or so.

Girls Aloud - Jingle Bell Rock

Here is Girls Aloud's version of "Jingle Bell Rock", of which is on the bonus disc to their album Chemistry.  I don't have the whole EP, but if I do get it I'll post it.

Lady Gaga featuring Space Cowboy - Christmas Tree

Lady Gaga and Space Cowboy collaborated on this racy version of "Christmas Tree", of which was released a couple of years ago.  It's dance pop, of course.

Download

Christina Aguilera - My Kind of Christmas

Way back in the beginning of her career, Christina Aguilera released a Christmas album called My Kind of Christmas.  It was released after her Spanish language album Mi Reflejo.  I don't have the whole album, just some tracks I downloaded last year from a blog that has since shut down.

Christmas Time

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

This Christmas

The Christmas Song

The Christmas Song (Holiday Remix)

Kylie Minogue - Let It Snow

Album art made by me

I don't know if this is on sale or not, but I've seen it on two blogs now, and it's Kylie's version of "Let It Snow".  It's a rather traditional rendition of the song - no synths or anything like that.  It's good though - her voice sounds nice.

The Golden Filter - White Nights

Here is a Christmas single from The Golden Filter, called "White Nights".  It's a cover of the song by Psychic TV.  Spooky but good.

Owl City - Peppermint Winter

This is the Christmas single from Owl City.  I've only listened to it once, as I'm not that big on Christmas music, but I liked it.

Sigh

Two Goldfrapp posts were taken down due to a DMCA complaint or whatever.  If any of the posts disappear, it's because Blogger sets them to Draft status due to a DMCA complaint.

If any of the links are dead (even in Multiupload) please let me know via the comments or email so I can reupload them.

iamamiwhoami - O by Fleshteque (Einmeier & Ovenbröd Remix)

I found this cover of 'O' by iamamiwhoami in my inbox just now. It's a very good cover remixed by Einmeier & Ovenbröd with vocals by Ben McGarvey. I know the video's a little on the small side, so if you want to see it bigger, you can use the controls to make it full screen, or watch it on YouTube by right-clicking on the video and choosing Watch on YouTube from the context menu. I made it that small because it was messing up the layout.

Freezepop - Doppleganger

A few months ago the synth pop group Freezepop announced a new album...the release date was December 7, and back then I was so sad to have to wait so long, but they did release a new track called Magnetic for free.  Now they've released another free track, called Doppleganger.  It seems that they don't have Magnetic on their site anymore, so I'll upload it soon.  You can use the widget below to get the track, but you'll have to give up your email address in order to get it.

iamamiwhoami in concert

Album art by Stephen Delrose

iamamiwhoami's concert was held yesterday.  It wasn't live but it was an hour long outdoor concert that was available for six hours yesterday.  Sadly, the concert is no longer available at their website.  Nobody knows what's going to happen next.  I am hoping we will finally get an album.  Until then, we can listen to the original tracks, the remixes, and these live tracks taken from the concert film by Stephen Delrose.

New Layout

I'm currently on vacation, and decided to change the layout once I saw how quick and easy it is, thanks to the Blogger Template Designer thing.  I'm going to get around to changing the header someday.

Anyway, Halloween is coming up so I will check last year's posts and make sure the links are good, then I'll post them in the Re-Ups box.  I haven't found any new Halloween-ish songs just yet.
