i do love you, but it’s alright…

June 5, 2012 by MD

After that last heartbroken note I feel compelled to give you something to get you moving again. Check out Kill Paris. I Do Love You has this build up that sort of coaxes you out of the fetal position, and then the beat drops and before you know it you’re all bobbing your head, shaking your shoulders, and bouncing whatever booty you got saying “You know what? Fuckit. It IS alright.” Kill Paris – I Do Love You

may the God of me protect my soul…

March 28, 2012 by MD

I had all but given up on this blog after a brutal round of finals and a winter break full of hospital visits, but after watching these videos I am sufficiently inspired to give it another go. iamamiwhoami is the best thing I’ve seen in years. Take the Knife, Bjork, and Roisin Murphy, and give them all a whopping dose of the hallucinogenic mandrake root, and this is what they might come up with. The videos are totally mesmerizing. Even calling them […]

Oh the night is my world…

November 6, 2011 by MD

Sunday Girl is probably in the same vein as a lot of what you’ll find on stronglikemusic. Taking her name from the 1979 Blondie song, former model Jade Williams offers ethereal vocals over an indie pop sound, and puts out a good cover here and there. Well, actually, mostly covers. Whatever, this boy knows what he likes. Her trance-y cover of Love You More (which I thiiiink was originally by Steps?) is good… and while I’m sort of partial to the piano and […]

Worth a thousand words…

October 23, 2011 by MD

Or frequent flyer miles? Listen, just because I couldn’t come up with a decent title for this post, doesn’t mean you aren’t obligated to check out Pictureplane. I first heard his track Goth Star one day in Opening Ceremony and was like HARK?! What sound…?!? Anyway yea so I’ve been wildly into the song ever since (it’s fantastic when you need to get in the right state of mind as you’re on your way to a party). But I always […]

I wish nothing but the best for you…

October 14, 2011 by MD

In case you haven’t heard, the lovely Adele has had to cancel her tour due to vocal cord hemorrhaging. Sorry, lady. Wishing you a speedy recovery. To tide us over, here’s a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s timeless I Can’t Make You Love Me (although I still think nothing beats the original), a STOMPING disco-dancey Villa remix of Rolling in the Deep, and a rock-out version of Someone Like You that has garnered surprisingly little attention, maybe due to the low profile […]
