Foreign Friday - Ballet School "Ghost"




Origin: Denmark
Genre: Pop
website: balletschoolband.com

Their style seems to go from more traditional pop to more modern experimental pop. I'm not sold just yet, but I like this track because it sort of reminds me of an Utada song.

Foreign Friday - Disa "Sun"



Iceland Airwaves is in less than two weeks, so I want to post some of the artists that will be there. Disa is an Icelandic artist that has at bit of a dark Bjork, who is also Icelandic, sound. Check out more of her music here. And check out the line-up for Iceland Airwaves here.

Throwback Thursday - Britney Spears "Gimme More" VMA performance



This was an iconic moment in the history of Britney Spears, and it shall not be forgotten. Watching the performance now, she really wan't "fat." I remember them making a big deal about her weight gain, hmm.

Lol, 50 Cent looks like he was trying to figure out if her performance was real or not. Of course Rhianna was cracking jokes when the camera is on her.

TERRIBLE. She had no energy, her lip-synching was worse than it normally is. Those had to be pre-recorded applause. Good for her for coming back from this.

Throwback Thursday - Limp Bizkit "Rollin'"



I am not ashamed to say I throroughly enjoyed Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, it is a classic! Don't act like you aren't rapping along right now, haha. Stephen Dorff and Ben Stiller are in the video, you can't deny their pop culture significance, haha.

Music Default - 10/15/14


Here is the latest Music Default list:
"Starting off today with dance track "Desire" followed by the smoothest track on the list "Saint Claude" a remix of Christine and the Queen. Halos' "Dust" is a bit dark and ominous in contrast to Penguin Prison's latest single "Calling Out", which is pure, fun pop. I've been waiting for more music from AYER and his latest collab with my personal favorite Keljet doesn't disappoint. "If It's Not You" is super groovy and I highly recommend checking out some of the remixes to it as well. Finishing this week's list is Shura's "Indecision", which feels like it could be on your 80s pop playlist, so enjoy and dance away. Remember you can stream today's entire playlist on musicdefault.com."

Year and Years - Desire
Christine and the Queens - Saint Claude (Dim Sum Remix)
Halos - Dust
Penguin Prison - Calling Out
Keljet and AYER - If It's Not You
Shura - Indecision

New Discovery - Joseph Salvat "Open Season"




"Open Season" is one of my favorites from Spotify's New Music Tuesday playlist. It's not showy, it doesn't have a DJ dance beat, it's a good background song. Check out more of his stuff here.

They are pretty funky, I can dig it, haha. Check them out here, and catch them on Halloween at Rock N Roll Hotel.
