So, Roxy Music at Fuji Rock? Possibly like watching a car crash, potentially one of the highlights of the weekend! Lets hope Bryan an the rest of the band pull it out of the bag, If they are anything like they used to be, it could be bloody fantastic!



Here is a nice little tinker of the classic Angel Eyes by Kaos...Perfect summer festival vibe!

This week has also seen me discover two of the best records that i have plucked from the blogosphere this year. First up is the phenomenal and unclassifiable Klaus and Kinski. I can't find much info on this Spanish Indie-synth-dream-electro-pop band, but what i have heard speaks volumes. Personal favourite is the euphoric 'Eres un Singvurguenza' which fires along like Asobi Seksu on speed. I the intro and chorus send a summer shiver down my spine and can't wait to drop it at the next event!

In the same vein is the excellent Swimmer One. Swimmer One first appeared on the radar around seven years ago with the release of two excellent EPs entitled We Just Make Music For Ourselves and Come On, Let’s Go!. However it is on 'This Club is for Everyone, Even You' (great title by the way!) that they really fulfil their promise. Records like this prove that electro-pop does not have to be a slight thing, but a thing of real beauty. Is it a warm-up track, a peak-time floorfiller, an early morning sunrise track? I can't make my mind up, probably all three!
