Some Boogie Musics
I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, so right now I’m just a big puffy mess. Although my huge face is highly uncomfortable, it has allowed me to do a lot more browsing on the google-internets than I am usually capable of. And thus, I have found some glorious music with the aid of sites like Last.fm and The Hype Machine. First off, you have to watch the video below. It’s by Janelle Monáe, who just released her album The ArchAndroid in May of this year. She is super cool, and she has incredible hair. Her music is really different and refreshing, as is the video below. Take a look!
If you think you might be interested in some of her other music, these are some of my faves: Sincerely, Jane; Many Moons; Violet Stars Happy Hunting!; Cold War; and Locked Inside.
Another artist who I just discovered and am quickly falling in love with is Marina and the Diamonds. Check out her myspace page here. She is a Welsh singer-songwriter who is popular in the UK but is quickly gaining fans in North America. Her video to the song “Oh No!” is quite nice. Give a lil listen! Oh, and please post any links to songs you really like too. I wanna hear ‘em!
Wowza!
First, two postings in one week!?!?! I couldn’t be happier! Second, how did you know I’m obsessed by Janelle Monáe right now?
Great discovery.
She’s great right? But I can’t stop listening to Marina and the Diamonds… she’s driving me crazy! “Seventeen”, “Hollywood”, and “Hermit the Frog” are my favorites. She sounds like a really sexy witch.
