Music: Foals - Cassius

It doesn't matter how many new Foals songs I hear, this is still my favourite:

Music: Clare Maguire - Ain't Nobody (Breakage Remix)

Because recently adverts have broadcast better music than the radio:

02 Ain't Nobody (Breakage Remix) by claremaguire

Music: Santigold - An Introduction

As I missed yesterday (I'm a terrible person), I have a very shiny artist for you today - Santigold  (originally Santogold but this had to be changed to avoid a lawsuit).  I couldn't choose between all her tracks but I managed to narrow it down to three tracks for you lovely people.  The first is one that I imagine you will all recognise as it was featured on an advert and we all know how much I love to find music through adverts!

I don't know if that's the official video or not, but it is A video.  The next track was the follow up single to Creator:

Finally, I know this isn't a proper video but it's a great remix - my final track is a remix of You'll Find A Way.  This remix is on the album that all of these songs are from, self-titled Santogold.  There are rumours that the next Santigold album is out in Spring 2012 - EXCITED!!

Music: The Naked And Famous

Right, today is a two-for-the-price-of-one day - what a treat!  I couldn't choose between these two tracks by The Naked And Famous.  The first I think is the best song and the second is a good song with an excellent video.

So here is track number one, Punching In A Dream.  I heard the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix of this track first but I think the original is better:

And the second is Serenade.  I love those little paper-foldy-wotsits!  See how long it takes you to forget that the sound isn't actually coming from them.

Music: The Knife - Heartbeats

"Ooh, isn't that that that song of the advert with all the bouncy balls?  You know that Gonzalez bloke..."

No, my misinformed friend it isn't.  This is The Knife and they released this song long before Jose did.  So, because I have been assured that it isn't common knowledge that this is a Knife track, here it is for you as my day two song.

Music: Woodkid - Iron

Right, it's December and I am sadly without an advent calendar.  So let's do it with music.  Everyday for the month of December, I will give you a song to listen to.  And here is the first...

This song should have been massive when it was released back in March of this year and it wasn't.  But then, with all media seemingly terrified to think out of the box and play something a bit different (if it ain't broke... and all that) should we be so surprised?  Until, would you believe it, a computer game advertisement has broken the mold - whoever was on song-choosing duty that day is quite literally, my absolute hero.  Not only is the song fantastic but it fits the game absolutely perfectly - give that employee a pay rise!

If you haven't had the opportunity to hear Iron by Wookdkid yet then here it is:

And as I'm feeling generous today here is the Mystery Jets remix of the same song.  It's OK, you don't have to thank me...
