What a shocker, I'm really into some new danceable female singer pop, and throwback emo vibes. Never saw that one coming. This track "Cameo Lover" from Kimbra, who is a total thing in her native New Zealand, is going to be my new official music crush for the next 48 hours or so. Kind of has a Marina vibe going on with the aesthetic of the video/dance moves/quirkiness factor, but with the type of bouncy old soul and Motown vibe the kids are digging lately (via Fitz and the Tantrums).
More from Kimbra, The Good Natured and Adrian Lux, Gotye, Into It. Over It, and Dikembe after the thing.

Also she looks like that bird out of the cell phone commercial with the pink dress on, so, you know, fair play. (PS LOL @ the Gavin McInnes sheep-fucking commercial that keeps playing before the video). Kind of spoiling my boner, metaphorical and otherwise, broski.
You might recognize Kimbra from her appearance in Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" a song that I was ignoring for a long time because I figured it was going to be a really shitty Elliott Smith cover, and because it is probably the Platonic ideal of twee, hipster arstycraftwave preciousness, but woops, I've listened to it about 37 times in a row, and I love it now. I want to marry the song, yes, now that you ask. It's also a huge hit down under or in kiwi town or whatever, and in, like Belgium? Holland? I'd check but Wiki is all the way over there on the other tab. It's just starting to blow up here in the States though, so expect your friends to be into it/over it in a minute.
Speaking of Into It. Over It, been really digging the noodly Minus the Bear style 9tz Kinsella-core of their "Proper" record.
On the opposite end of the Tr00 pop punk spectrum, this track from Adrian Lux featuring The Good Natured is a straight banger (thanks to Michael Marotta for the head's up). What if Ke$ha was British, and then, well, that's all we changed really, someone thought. Still, hot as, I dunno, something hot, music writing is hard.
The Good Natured put out another track of their own this month. "When hairdressers make music" reads the first comment on the video, and I don't think you're going to find a better description than that anywhere, so let's just quit while we're ahead.

Decent music but they made Kimbra look like Pete Burns in that first video.
JESUS> Just had to look up who that is. WoW.
Like the Dikembe stuff, but that spoken word part is so corny.

serious question about the bird in the pink dress in the cell phone commercials: why does she almost never lift her elbows away from her body? even if it would be more natural to? watch it, it's really odd once you notice it. i think it's either to make her seem non-threatening, or worse, defenseless. discuss.
This had not occurred to us, dude. I will be on the look out for this intel. What's the commercial for again? Verizon or whatever? You think if I search for "that one hot bird in the pink dress" it will work out?
NOPE. Searched for "bird in pink dress commercial" and I got nothing. "Cell phone commerical girl" however, yielded some promising results. http://coedmagazine.com/2011/01/03/whos-that-girl-carly-foulkes-the-t-mobile-4g-girl-75-photos/carly-foulkes-1/#10
