The new additions
Julie Delpy "Waltz for a Night" from Before Sunset. Both grounded and ethereal --how the hell does she pull that off? Miraculous.
Mika "Grace Kelly" Great song. Great lyrics plus, hello, the title. Is Mika an actressexual?
Björk "Earth Intruders" from the upcoming CD Volta. I read a horrifying thing at Electroqueer wherein they stated they'd taken a break from Björk after Post. You don't take breaks from Björk, people. I can't even begin to describe what you've missed the past decade if you haven't been listening. She is a genius. genius. if you stopped listening when the radio stopped playing her you've missed her two best CDs (Homogenic & Dancer in the Dark) and one beautiful undervalued one (Vespertine) Oh, the movie connection: she was in one once.

I posted the video for "Earth Intruders" at my blog (not just the SNL perf) and it is almost as amazing as the song. But the song is pretty darn amazing so it's hard.
Grace Kelly. LOL. It's my favorite song of the year so far -- Mika really does sound like Freddie!
I have no idea, is Mika as big in the States as he is over here in the UK?
Gay artists have an easier time over here for some reason, and with his second song 'Love Today' about to become his second number 1 and the Scissor Sisters still get chart action I am curious as to why? Is it just US radio?
It's because American radio is frightened shitless by dance music that isn't Fergie or the Black Eyed Peas.
The Mika CD is pretty great, although the falsetto can get a bit tiresome (like on "Love Today").
YAY!!! It's JULIE!!!!
*smiles and does happy dance*
May will be quite a month as Bjork releases Volta while Tori Amos releases American Doll Posse. :)
Yeah, I can't wait to hear Volta, but I especially can't wait to hear American Doll Posse after hearing some preview clips. Tori's new single is rocking!
Sniff. Sniff - Yeah, we got a little sidetracked when it came to Bjork...However we have all her CDs and we'll give them another whirl. Very very excited about her Volta though! We loved Dancer In the Dark though and her soundtrack to that was good...see we didn't miss everything!
