5. Miike Snow
“Miike Snow”

Swedish + existential & metaphysical lyrics. Gotta have my synths!

4. Fever Ray
“Fever Ray”

Creepy vocals + dense electronica = just like I like it.

3. The Dead Weather
“Horehound”

Electric rock and funky backbeats. No bias here. This album/collaboration is one of the best from this year.

2. The xx
“xx”

Minimal and sexy. Pretty much how I live, nutshelled.

1. Florence + the Machine
“Lungs”

Gothic vocals + gorgeous instrumentation. Florence (speaking about her music) says: “I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe.”

5.   “Daniel“
[dir. Johan Renck]

-Bat for Lashes

Natasha Khan always scores big pointage for creativity. And who doesn’t love a creepy chase video?

4.  “When I Grow Up”
[dir. Martin de Thurrah]

-Fever Ray

Karin Dreijer Andersson (The Knife) hardly lacks imagination – a harlequin dancing on a diving board over a dirty pool? She somehow pulls off weird without pretension.

3. “Two Weeks”
[dir. Patrick Daughters]

-Grizzly Bear

Exploding heads are cool! P. Daughters is unquestionably following in Michel Gondry’s quirky footsteps!

2.  “The Reeling”
[dir. Hydra (John Hobbs, Ariel Danziger, Sam Stephens)]

-Passion Pit

A bit too “disco” for me at times, but dig that ripped magazine effect.

1.  “Lessons Learned”
[dir. Taylor Cohen and Otto Arsenault]
-Matt & Kim

This video is my #1 because it involves two of my favorite things: New York City and nudity! (It just sounds good, OK?)

4.  “Sweet Dreams“
-The Eurythmics

One of my all-time favorite music videos. Classic. Annie Lennox was the sh**t.

Let’s bypass the obvious spooky tunes like “Monster Mash”, “Ghostbusters” and “Thriller”, shall we? We like to be more original on this show. Enjoy!

Psycho killers are most definitely scary. And evil. Qu’est-ce que c’est?

4.  “Devil Inside”
-INXS

Every single one of us has the devil inside. The devil is evil.

3.  “I Put a Spell On You”

Synthpop is the subgenre of New Wave and Pop where the synthesizer is the dominant sound. Originated during the new wave – late 70s early 80s – and big time reemerged in the mid to late 2000s — which leads us to today’s show. We’re counting down the top 5 leading solo female singer/songwriter synthpop artists who use 80s-style synths and who embody a sort of futuristic, mythical, or generally outlandish fashion and performance style.

5.  Alison Goldfrapp AKA Goldfrapp

4.  Natasha Kahn AKA Bat for Lashes

3. Victoria Hesketh AKA Little Boots

2.  Julie Budet AKA Yelle

According to Dean Goodman from Reuters, Joe Perry has set the title of his new CD as “Have Guitar Will Travel”, which he hopes will be out in November.
In what is even better news, Perry, who sings on four of the tracks, also expects to tour early next year under the guise of the Joe Perry Project.
His first three solo albums, all credited to the Joe Perry Project, were released in the early 1980s when he briefly quit Aerosmith during the most drug fueled time of the band’s carreer.
If you don’t have those first 3 Joe Perry Project records, GO GET THEM!
