Happy weekend my lovelies! This week I bring you Sleigh Bells, a kick ass duo from New York who take noise pop to the next level. Their video for “Comeback Kid” is all kinds of awesome, so grab your leather studded jacket and get ready… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXP4Rhu5pJo Their second album Reign Of Terror comes out this Tuesday (the 21st) and they’re currently on tour stopping by Toronto March 26th! See you there? Enjoy! xo Kate

Happy weekend everyone! How are we all dealing with the February blues? Alright I hope! It’s nearly Valentines day so I thought I’d post something sweet.  Whether you’re happily one of a pair or single like me, there’s no harm in a little lovely song.  So here’s a recent indie classic to sing-a-long to. Grab a pizza and a bottle of wine, it’s ‘Lust For Life” by Girls! Enjoy! xo Kate

Happy February! As some of you may have noticed we were lacking in a Weekend Tune last week, and for this I apologize. Alas I was off in New York City celebrating my birthday! So now you must forgive me. Besides, I’ve got an awesome tune to make it up to you. It’s a basket-case of a music video backed by a good beat. It’s Miike Snow (fitting band for the recent weather eh?) with “Paddling Out”! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzxYUsnZV6M Their second album Happy To You comes out March 27th. Enjoy the Swedish electro-pop insanity! xo Kate

I’m not really bad or do I want to die young but I AM listening to this right now and liking it.This first while get ready. Managed to find the perfect dress in my ol’ closet. You’ll see it tomorrow later. This too. I have always loved her music. Have a good night. Keep fit & have fun 🙂

Just last night they played Wrongbar and me oh my was it crazy. Like… so crazy. Like… I only just woke up right now crazy. Yeah. Crazy.

Hey hey hey! Weekend tune time! This week I decided to post the latest video from the oh so talked about Lana Del Ray. Here’s her deal… Once upon a time there was a shy girl named Lizzy Grant with blonde hair, a pretty voice, and dreams of being a star. Then she met some industry types, and her lips magically grew as big as her dreams. Before you knew it that shy indie girl with the pretty voice became latest hipster hottie! And who doesn’t dig Video Games? Whether you love or hate this manufactures hipster pop star, you gotta admit that this music video for “Born To Die” and Miss.Lizzy/Lana are both pretty amazing. Tigers and tattoos and fire oh my! Enjoy! xo Kate
