Ella Mueve La Cintura Y Tambien Los Pies



Spring Break is 2 weeks away. Where are you going? If I had it my way, I'd like to go to some hot Latin country but I can't. So tequila, a red dress and these songs will do.

Prediction: Summer 2010 Song





I present to you, Foster The People. I came across them from watching some videos on the Anna Sui FW2010 show on NYLONTV. I am confident that their song "Pumped Up Kicks" is going to blow up by summer time and will probably end up on some CW show like Gossip Girl or HBO' How to Make it in America, trickling down to mainstream Amuuurica. The band is quite new that I couldn't find any information on them. If MGMT and Peter, Bjorn and John had a lovechild, Foster The People would be it. You can hear their album or I guess EP at http://www.fosterthepeople.com/.

The XX: a band I wish would be kept a secret


The XX:
It's been awhile since I've listened to a band and their album consistently. This all changed when I came across The XX this past summer. The south west London band made NME's (the British equivalent to Rolling Stones magazine, if not better) The Future 50 List. The band has already toured with Florence+The Machine (another great act to check out) as well as the U.S leg of the Friendly Fires tour. Their songs are dark, moody and brilliant, featuring both male and female vocals. The original state of their songs are already amazing enough, but the remixes that have surfaced the net just add more of an edge. Their music is already spreading like wildfire across the globe and I can't wait to hear more from them.



This isn't the original video or version of the song but this remix is one of my faves at the moment and it's also accompanied by a sweet Godard clip.

The XX-"You Got The Love"

The XX-"Shelter(Death to the Throne Rmx"

The XX-"Islands(Nosaj Thing Rmx)"

Brooklyn We Go Hard

Even though I love being back home & don't really want to leave, I do miss NY, specifically Brooklyn! I miss the flea markets on Sundays, having drinks w/friends at the bars and chilling out at the waterfront park down the street from my apartment that has an amazing view of Manhattan. I live in Williamsburg, a melting pot for aspiring musicians and artists. Some bands that hail from Williamsburg are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on The Radio and MGMT. Notorious B.I.G 'and Jay-Z' childhood neighborhood are a couple of stops away too. So this post is dedicated to my favorite borough: BROOKLYN! & songs that remind me of it!
