I only saw them perform with The B-52's (unfortunately on Youtube), so this day-damper was compensated by this new track from this amay-zing group. I'm glad people are paying more attention to them! Most bands make albums with only a few good songs, but Dressy Bessy doesn't have a single album like that. All the songs are good as hell. I loved Electrified so much. And Simple Girlz likewise liv...

NEW TRACK:Dragonette - Competition (Whip Vocal Remix)
I always loved Dragonette, and in my opinion, they are poorly overlooked as a group. Martina Sorbara's voice is sugar to my ears. Their melodies are hard to get over with.Although they are constantly compared, to, say the likes of Yelle and the Scissor Sisters, they have earned my respect well enough.Here is a Whip Vocal Remix of Dragonette's "Competition".

THE DAILY: The Streets
-
Artist:
It was late 2006 that I heard of what I thought was a rap/hiphop group. Who would've guessed that The Streets was composed of only one individual--Mike Skinner, a rapper hailing from Birmingham, England. He has already released 5 albums, and the best one that I have heard yet from him was The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living . But wait... there's more! (in standard Home Shopping Channel ...

Katy Perry , the Santa Barabara, California native does what everybody is doing---covering MGMT songs. After The Kooks, its the pop diva's turn to put her imprint with MGMT 's hit song, Electric Feel . Her raw voice makes it sound fresh without trying too hard.

FEATURE: Does Ernest Hemingway's 500 words a day help my writing?
There is no easy way to perfect a varying and subjective skill such as writing. Some people find it hard to write a simple letter while others make novels in a span of a month. Where is the justice in this world?Complaints were all that I could make once my weekly, if not daily, batch of writer's block arrives, and this doesn't help me improve or lighten the burden of finishing a writing duty. ...

Such is this version of Panda Riot, more subtle not only in the vocal quality but also the melody. You wouldn't even recognize they covered the song if you haven't seen the title because it sounds...
