Song from their masterpiece "Funeral" album, featuring David Bowie, Montreal-based remains as one of the best bands in the year 2005. It's a song makes you reach to the stars!

On Madonna's new hottest song, you see similarity between Andy Warhol designed Marilyn Monroe picture right away. This was the first important thing to ignore Madonna once again. Because we already know who is Andy Warhol or Marilyn Monroe and Madonna.

However my reason writing about his song is great lyrics. The lyrics look very simple to me at first listen like any pop song singing 'Let's Get It Started'. After a while, i realized that it's fulfilled with great lyrics telling about new generation, fashion and lifestyle. That's why Madonna rocks. She's so intelligent even if her music started to suck long time ago.

For me, "Celebration" tells how we turned to only-party persons. We change our clothes to be showy, and everything becomes show in our lifes. We gonna only party, and for some reason we see a hesitation about our feelings what is wrong or what is right. We only gonna party and it's a celebration like Madonna sings.

'If this is the last dance/if this is the last dance/Then save it for me baby'

The Raveonettes releases their latest record "In & Out of Control" on October 6th 2009. First single becomes "Last Dance", like every The Raveonettes song which doesnt know how to feel, happy, sad, ironic, teasing... you decide how does it feel. Melody exploding like sun, however lyrics seem a little sad.

This music reminds me a lot noise pop bands such as: My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Sonic Youth, Jesus and Mary Chain, and maybe Galaxie 500. Sharin Foo's hairstyle is very similar to Velvet Underground's icon member Nico in press photos.

They'd asked to the audience to title the upcoming album. I don't like when artist asks for making a video or album-title. Because it sounds like they are not serious about the album. They better not to ask audience how to do things. As guitarist, singer and instrumentalist Sune Rose Wagner reported us 'We never asked our audience for anything, that's a wrong statement! We know what we want and don't need any help' I have to say sorry for the mess, before i get a bashing from Sune. So this is the last dance! 6/10

I promised not to listen genious musician anymore. However i couldnt give up my bad habits. Two new single (they're previously released and these two songs are new versions “Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses” backed with “The Hollow Earth” released at 21th September. I was not in a rush to write something. I listened more than ten times these horrowful tracks. The results are amazing. The Hollow Earth” is also one of the best songs from his solo record The Eraser. Dont let a clever dick blog change your taste in music, listen and decide yourself:

mp3: Thom Yorke "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses"

For me he's 21th century's Elvis Presley, Richard Hawley released five great records thus far. Coles Corner (2005) is his the golden classic record which includes all the love from Scott Walker, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash he blends these names well with his style. "For Your Lover Give Some Time" is the new single from the sixth studio album "Truelove's Gutter" which is inspired by the dark moments of Richard Hawley's memories. I feel some John Lennon atmosphere when I'm listening this song more and more. Not great as the song "Hotel room" which is included "Coles Corner" album. You love this very much, if you like blue songs. 8/10

Welcome to Mika's colorful and dreamy world!!! He sings "We Are Golden", his teenage dreams in a teenage circus. Mika is self-confident to express his feelings, and he thinks that he's golden. That's for sure Mika loves glitter and boxers. We are not what you think we are/ We are golden/ we are golden. Yes Mika, you're right that appearance doesnt give a full opinion of the personality.

Video of "We Are Golden" is yellow, green, red, blue and golden. Best parf of it, I loved the golden shoes!

We blog writers are like little mice, hanging around to find our cheese. When I find some cheese, i dont wait to share with other mouse. Massive Attack is too cool for dark music, they call this style as trip-hop. Whenever i hear thw word "trip-hop", Portishead comes to my mind. However this is Massive Attack's new song "Splitting the Atom ". England based electronica trio search how to splitting the Atom. Hey it may be the end of the world, The Cure help us!

PAX-AM Digital Single No. 1 is a digital-only single by singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, released on Septeber 11, 2009 on Adams' own label, PAX-AM. Lost And Found reminded me Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians songs from Queen Elvis which is a great album. You can download "Wax Doll" below and you will see the similar voice of Robyn Hitchcock and Ryan Adams.

The single comprises two previously unreleased tracks, "Lost and Found" and "Go Ahead and Rain".

There's a new video to go with Glasvegas' second single, 'It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry'. I love that brogue but he's almost impossible to understand! Nonetheless, I think this is my favorite Glasvegas song, other than 'Cruel Moon' on the Christmas EP. Bono called it "one of the best songs (he's) ever heard". Give the video a watch....

A violinist and singer/songwriter, godgiven voice, cinderella of indie rock, Joan Wasser covers Britney Spears' mega hit "Overprotected". For my first listen, i can't believe my ears, because this is a great cover song. Upcoming album "Cover" already surprised me with its nasty artwork which features a big hip and a ring.

Britney Spears song "Overprotected" has been little far away from its teen pop melody by Joan As Police Woman. "What am I to do with my life?/How am I supposed to know what's right?" These lyrics find soul by her velvet voice. 8.5/10

That's for sure it's not chart topper such as Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feelin' or Kanye West (I think Kanye sucks with his recent songs), Rihanna and Jay-z collaborate "Run This Town". They singing "Too sexy in this Club". I remember when Sugababes are three little girl singing their first great hit "Overload". Now they sound between The Black Eyed Peas and Missy Elliott with "Get Sexy". However, this nasty disco-pop hit works well!

"Uprising" is a song by English solid alternative rock band Muse from their upcoming "The Resistance" LP which drives me crazy for one reason. I hate to write that they borrows from Queen or Chopin. Because they simply don't borrow, they take same melody of Queen. I'm talking about the song " United States Of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)", yes it's been a song like borrowing from everywhere. It's like songs which have taken melodies of a band's recent playlists. They listen some songs, and try to put lyrics on, then here it comes another album.

She hit the music world with "I'm Like a Bird", and with her latest song "Manos al Aire" hits #1 on Billboard.

I'm listening her fourth studio album and first full Spanish language consists of eleven spanish songs. She collaborates musicians such as: Alejandro Fernandez, Josh Groban, Juan Luis Guerra, Julieta Venegas, La Mala Rodriguez, Buika And Alex Cuba.

After her disco pop hit "Maneater" (2006), this song "Manos al Aire" has been quite soothing melody.

Favorite indie folk dude John Darnielle had to say about the new record:

"I guess the obvious question is going to be: 'John, have you had some sort of religous awakening?' and while I guess lots of people might want to be coy about answering that, that's never really my style, so: no. It's not like that. It's not some heavy-narrative-distance deal either, though, and it's not a screed. It's twelve new songs: twelve hard lessons the Bible taught me, kind of. More than that I'd want to wait to say until some people have heard it, which won't be long. Will there be more news soon, quite soon? Like, next week, even? Oh yes there will!"

The album also features Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett. I'm loving the latest song release "Genesis 3:23" which you can download below.

Whitney returns to sing in her heavenly way. I saw the album cover when google about some other music. Then, the album caught me again another nice music source Billboard. Decided to check her official myspace page, Million Dollar Bill was the first hit which shined through my body. It made me to remember Heartbreak Hotel, I Am Your Baby Tonight, I'm Every Woman which are Whitney's disco-soul moments. The title-song has been a very nostalgic song, it's written by R.Kelly, and proves she can still sing.

The Artists such as Whitney are stars, they come and their music shine through you. Don't be sorry for them after the big loss. I dont like it, they organized some kind of party-like funeral for Micheal Jackson. Make this world a better place to live, appreciate someone who you love before he/she goes away.

It's the opener song of same-titled Black River Killer Ep. Black River Killer is one of the darkest moments of their 2008 release "Furr". Like my other favorite lo-fi and indie rock gazers Smog, M.Ward and the Fleet Foxes, Blitzen Trapper is worth a listen.

No it's not Madonna's Holiday, it's a song by British grime vocalist, Dizzee Rascal featuring R&B singer, Chrome. A Calvin Harris production, and we're ready for "Holiday" not "Ready for the weekend" this time. Results are shiny cd single cover and a terrific hit song to crash charts.

"New Moon Rising" is the thundering first single from Wolfmother's sophomore album, Cosmic Egg. Whilst the original track does it's business over the radio now, herein lies a mystic re-brew from Goteborg duo Fontan.

Their self-titled album achieved great success, winning Grammy Award Best Hard Rock Performance (2007). I'm excited to listen New Moon Rising, Fontan Version has been marvellous.

1. Titiyo - Come Along With Me (2001)
When "Come Along" peaked at number 3 to music lists at 2001, Titiyo evitalised her career with her successful fourth studio album Come Along. It was a great song of the year.

2. Holly Golightly - Tell Me Now So I Know (2005)
If you have seen movie "Broken Flowers", you know this Ray Davies song. It's the most charming moments of the movie. Some Tom Waits, some Ray Davies, and this is a great song to listen when you drive.

3. Keane - Somewhere Only We Know (2004)
Tom Chaplin's best and rich vocal performance can be found in this song.

4. Chris Bell - I Am the Cosmos (1992)
Every night i tell myself I Am the Cosmos, I Am the Wind/ That don't bring you back again...No need to praise the classics.
