The Suzan: "Home"
The Suzan is a Japanese all-girl band who signed on Bjorn Yttling of (Peter, Bjorn, and John) and indie heavyweight Fool's Gold to produce girls debut album titled Golden Week For The Poco Poco Beat due this fall on Fool's Gold/ Downtown. These girls bring a lot of energy, an create an indie-pop-funky fused that captivated the ears of Bjorn and A-trak. "Home" equipped with xylophone riffs and a rare breed of pop that embraces a strong hearty groove. I'd Expect some giant collabs with A-trak, Trackademicks, Treasure Fingers and Co., With the strong involvement Fool's Gold has on this record.

"HerFavoriteColo(u)r"WillNotBeReleased ContraryToPopularBelief PleaseSpreadTheWord Bless”.

Mic Terror: "It's In The Morning"
Leave it to Mic Terror to make a Robin Thicke song addable to my iTunes list. Sex in the morning is a great thing, and I love it. I mean, many people spend all day thinking about having sex, and when you knock it out before 8AM, the rest of your day is free to think about other stuff. S**t, I had sex this morning then did my laundry and interviewed Chromeo... It was great! Anyway, Mic Terror explains all of the benefits that come with Morning Wood. Check them out here.
props to FSD.
