Check it: mp3: Friendly Fires - [...]

I saw Lykke Li last May at the Middle East upstairs. At the time she was opening for El Perro Del Mar, except that was not really the case. The show was a sell out, but by midway through El Perro Del Mar's set the place was empty. Even at the beginning of El Perro [...]

There's been a lot of love on MOG for Swedish pop startlet Lykke Li as of late so I'm thinking most of you will be psyched to check this new video for her Youth Novels track "Breaking It Up." It's the (sultry) dopeness.

I can't help it, I love Lykke Li remixes! I haven't heard the original versions yet, which will change when the lass' debut album Youth Novels drops in the US on August 19th.

Of course, I've been sharing them with you, so here are the latest 2 to add to the mix: "I'm Good, I'm Gone" Black Kids Remix"I'm Good, I...

It seems everyone is ga-ga over Lykke Li lately. That is, everybody but me. I appreciate her music and her voice is darling too; it just isn't my cup of tea. But a new diskJokke remix of her "Everybody But Me" tune popped up today and finally I found the facet of Lykke Li that I love! Her voice is enchanting and haunting at the same time while the music is minimal electronica in a Matmos or...

Confession, I'm a HUGE fan of 50's and 60's doo-wop music. Dion & The Belmonts, Vito & The Salutaitons, Little Anthony & The Imperials, The Chantels, Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers, and of course, The Shirelles, just to name a few. So, I'm pretty stoked to have come across Swedish singer and favorite of The Round Table, Lykke Li, covering The Shirelles "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." Lykke L...

Lately I've been wondering about international album releases and the music industry's grip on outdated business models. Now that the record biz is largely an online enterprise and albums are reduced to electronic files, shouldn't new releases be available everywhere at once? I've actually been in awe of a few of my music transactions this last year - GONE are the days of blowing a whole payc...
