Am I the only one who thinks they chose the wrong producer to work with for this album? Regardless, there are some VERY solid songs on the album. I guess I'm just not a huge fan of "mellow" Kooks.

Per request - Lana Del Rey:

The Kooks: I only heard 2 new songs yesterday on the radio and an interview. They said they wanted "a poppier" album this time. That explains the mellow, soft sound I'd guess.

It's not a bad album and I tend to like it but it doesn't stick out for me like the first two do. (I entered the contest)

 

The Sore Losers: Your Smile

Alice Gold: Runaway Love at Stubru Session

Intergalactic Lovers: Queen of the Sighs - acoustic @ Jim TV

 

dEUS: Constant Now - Live at Villa Vanthilt national tv show

 

Gabriel Rios (with Jef Neve on Piano): You Will Go Far

 

Seems like it was released in their country Australia back in 2010, but was a radiohit this summer in Belgium:

Miami Horror: Holiday

 

Stromae: Peace or Violence

Emeli Sande: Heaven

 

Jonathan Jeremiah: Heart of Stone

 

Fantastic album! I had to import the EP and album online due to domestic unavailability.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds: The Death Of You And Me

Thumbs up for Miami Horror! Some nice "feelgood" dancemusic coming from Australia the past 5 years.
Waiting for a second "Empire of the Sun"-album right now. No news yet?

 

The first 5 songs on the Empire of the Sun were great -- the first 4 songs are perfect. The rest of the album was a disappointment and sounded nothing like the first 5 songs. Boring world music approach.

When the second album drops I hope they go for a more indie pop theme all the way through, unlike last time.

The first 5 tracks were phenomenal

 

The Flaming Lips with Lightning Bolt - I'm Working at NASA on Acid

 

A classic song but a "2011 Live version".

dEUS at Lowlands, their concert was a tribute to the Pukkelpop-victims covered by the dutch National TV and afterwards also broadcasted on the Belgian TV.

dEUS and their 1999 classic Instant Street

The Flaming Lips are always welcome in this topic

 

Ariel Abshire: No Great Pretender

Marina & the Diamonds: Fear and Loathing

 

The supergroup of 2011 including Joss Stone, Mick Jagger, Damian Marley, Dave Stewart and A.R. Rahman

Superheavy: Miracle Worker

 

Aloe Blacc: Green Lights

 

This one gets loads of airplay on the radio lately:

Gypsy & The Cat: Jona Vark

A bit of 80's, a bit of Empire of the Sun, a bit of MGMT, etc.

Edit: Forgot I posted this one before.

 

Broken Glass Heroes: Delphonic

From their album "Grandchildren of the Revelation", which sounds great (no loudness wars).

In fact, they're not a real band but two musicians who made this album as a soundtrack for the tv-series "Benidorm Bastards".

Full of nostalgic 60s & 70s sounds: from Beach Boys and Beatles and Moody Blues to the more psychedelic stuff.

 

Wolf Gang: The King and All of His Men

SBTRKT feat. Roses Gabor: Pharaohs (Most played record at Stubru last week, great 90s vibe).

 

One of the 2011 hypes:

Little Dragon: Ritual Union (live at Jools Holland)

The scandinavian popscene keeps us surprising over and over again! Catchy as hell, and very radiofriendly.

 

Mr. Know It All ~ Kelly Clarkson

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C_oNMH0GTk

I love that Clarkson and director Justin Francis used the video to kill two birds with one stone.
The song itself is about a misinformed individual, but the clip takes a swipe at the media and blogosphere.
The video features Clarkson singing behind a wall full of newspaper articles about her music career and personal life.
The video continually cuts to Clarkson confronting a man (band member Aben Eubanks) as a metaphor for "Mr. Know It All" by singing angrily at him.
The lyrics itself are powerful, but her meaningful looks into the camera and bold demand for independence really help to drive the message home.

By the way, here are seven recent live versions of "Mr. Know It All" to help drive home the point that this chick is the most powerful vocalist in the biz...
