A TigerInfadels - Love Like Semtex (Fear of Tigers remix)(Mediafire)
And this ones from Anoraak who I've never heard of before. They sound a little like The Teenagers but maybe that's because they're both French. Listen to this whilst driving at night down an empty motorway if that can be arranged.

Robots in DisguiseGod knows why I didn't switch on to these guys when I heard thier Disco Sirens remix a while ago. Billion Dollar DJs are lining up dancefloor tracks for us and here are just a couple that blew me away. Crack this one out at your next house party and be prepared for heavy smoke machine congestion:

The Faint have had more than their fair share of blog time recently but the possibility that I might get to see them on my upcoming Berlin trip has excited me enough not to care and tell you about them all over again anyway.
Its all borderline dancefloor stuff, slightly distorted vocals and upbeat tomfoolery. Seriously, there's sweet basslines jumping out of windows in these tracks. Tune in below for some catchy hooks and licks (what's a lick? I don't know. Sounds impressive though).

Earlier today, in a moment of desperation, I combined jacket potato and strawberry jam as part of a mid-afternoon snack. Needless to say I left the kitchen unsatisfied and actually fairly angry.
So! How glad I was to listen to Lykke Li who very much calmed me down. Her voice is very...soft.
And she's the very epitome of cool, taking over the blogosphere in the last week or so and appearing on Urban Outfitter's playlist and I'm quite sure there's is nothing cooler than that. Except for this.
Here's a couple of her tracks to preview and a couple of remixes to download.
Preview Lykke Li - "Little Bit":
