Man. Moving up from the bottom to the top, there's a section there in the middle that's awesome. Then K$sha shows up. Nice to see the love for Sleigh Ride, Caribou and Danger, though.

And it just cannot be stressed enough how fucking terrible that Adam Lambert album cover is. Wow.

[Dr.ciski77]

People! Listen to Ellie Goulding! FYCFYCFYC the awesomeness!!!!

'Under the Sheets'

[Greg]

- Eight ballots used this week, for those who are wondering. Double the amount from last week. But, hopefully we can get back into the 20's soon.

[TitsMcGee]

Just a plug here for a couple of songs:

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
(already on the chart, but deserves to be higher):

Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home
(barely missed the chart this week, so let's put her on there next week!)

Ugh, I forgot to get a list in.

LMFGAO, Cascada. Holy shit.

STOP! THIS BEAT IS KILLING ME!!

[Ditty]

May have already been pushed here last year not sure but it's sort of only just getting some notice this way.

FYC:

Salt Air - Chew Lips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va0njQFvFEk

and a gorgeous little ditty very bon iver-ish, plus the boy is an absolute cutey and surprisingly, considering his music here, an Australian Idol runner-up.

Letters - Matt Corby

FYC: Massive Attack - "Splitting the Atom"

Reminds me of the Gorillaz.

I'm not sure if the video is official or fan made, but it sure is purty.

That's one cool frickin' video.

[diplomatic machine gun]

That Massive Attack video looks like the opening credits of some awesome movie that I'd really like to see. Cool that they are releasing new music again.

Finally getting into some 2010 music. Big FYCs:

BEACH HOUSE - "ZEBRA"

HOT CHIP - "ONE LIFE STAND"

JAMIE LIDELL - "COMPASS"

THE KNIFE - "COLOURING OF PIGEONS" (Okay... this one is just really friggin' weird and will not be everyone's cup of tea, but I find it mesmerizing and strangely captivating. Basically, it's the centerpiece of The Knife's score for an opera about Charles Darwin, called Tomorrow, In a Year. This track is an 11-minute clusterfuck of just about everything you would expect from The Knife.)

...and on The xx front, I'll go along with the "VCR" love but I'm a bit more partial to "Night Time" right now and I'm still totally digging "Crystalised." Really, the whole album is quite awesome.

[diplomatic machine gun]

Also, I just heard a couple of tracks from Charlotte Gainsbourg's new album IRM, and I'm in love. Quite a year she's had.

It's produced by Beck, and you can tell. It's beautiful and weird. The title is "MRI" backwards - you can hear the sounds of magnetic imaging machines in the background of the title track. FYC that!

CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG - "IRM"

[Ditty]

Sia - You've Changed

Two voters have returned this week already, bringing our grand total of ballots up to 10. Would love to have a bunch more by Tuesday!

[Smithie]

You re-use ballots for a few weeks if you don't get a new one from a particular user, right?
_________________

[Greg]

Yessir! I usually re-use them for 3 more weeks if nothing new is submitted.

[Greg]

This one's quite lovely:

YEASAYER "O.N.E."

[Deet]

Um.... here's a song by Sharam. He's one half of Deep Dish and gets a little help from Kid Cudi... and Patsy Cline.

Sharam (feat. Kid Cudi & Patsy Cline) - "She Came Along"

Other FYC's...

Yeasayer - "O.N.E."

Marina and the Diamonds - "Hollywood" (Gonzales version)
A really... odd song. Very pretty, though. Just listen to it once all the way through. Give it a chance. It grows on you. Like pretty... barnacle. Not sure why this is the "Gonzales version", though.

the Mynabirds - "Numbers Don't Lie"
Soooooorta awesome, blue eyed soul throwback. I have a feeling Smitherton may like this one. Been wrong before. Maybe again. But, I'm diggin' it.

The Magic Kids - "Hey Boy"
And if you thought THAT was a throwback...

[Greg]

haha. Great minds think alike with that 2nd pick, Deeter. Someone...maybe DavidJay?...had that Sharam and Kid Cudi song on their list last year and I dug it, but then totally forgot about it. Really cool stuff.

[Greg]

Also, I'll definitely echo the love for "One Life Stand."

[Deet]

Another song that's prolly gonna figure into my top 3 next week: Lo-Fi-Fnk - "Marchin' In"

And, I just saw this. Apparently, Peaches just released another single off her last album. It's called "Mommy Complex". Here is the video.

I swear, if you didn't tell me that was Peaches, I'd have thought Amy Poehler made a music video. Oh, and be sure to stick around for the glow stick bukkake.
