Music...

It's quite late...and I'm sitting in front of my laptop - quite tired, but I don't feel like going to bed. Instead I'm listening to some new music and I realized one thing - it seems 2009 will be the year of Electro-Disco-Pop. Mark my words and remember those names: Frankmusik. Little Boots. La Roux. Lady Gaga. Well, Lady Gaga (gosh, that name is bad, especially if you're from a country were "gaga" is a childish expression for poop) is quite successful already, but my favourites are Frankmusik and Little Boots. Both of them are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Frankmusik's "Three Little Words" blew me away the first time I heard it in august (a demo version). Stuart Price (of Zoot Woman; he produced Madonna and, lately, The Killers) produced Frankmusik's debut album, so I'm quite sure that it will me massive... And a guy who dances on a giant piano in his video has to be good ;) And his other songs are great too... I'm in love with his music right now (When you're around, Made her smile, In Step,...great!!)

Little Boots is a cool girl from England and she was involved in the Dead Disco project and made some homemade youtube videos (mostly cover versions of various songs). So far I've heard three of her own songs - Meddle , Every little earthquake and Stuck on Repeat, all of them are absolutely brilliant! Stuck on repeat sounds like Kylie Minogue, Róisín Murphy and Björk mixed together in an amazing shiny disco-ball dance track. Probably the first single of her album will be "Every little earthquake" which doesn't sound like Stuck on repeat at all...still, it's a very good song :)

Well, and La Roux seems interesting, I haven't heard a lot of her stuff, but I like what I've heard so far (check out Quicksand, her first single).
And Lady Gaga (goooosh, that name!) is quite popular with "Just Dance" or "Poker Face"...I'm still not sure whether to like her or not... Some of her songs are really catchy and good, other's are a bit boring... But she's fierce and has a great attitude, as you can see in this video.

Anyway, I'm sure there are a lot of other great bands/artists having their break-through in 2009, but I just think that 2009 really seems to be full of electronic dance pop music...but probably that's just because I like this kind of music...

Other than that 2009 promises to be a very exciting year in music - apart from those Newcomers Patrick Wolf, Tori Amos...and hopefully the Scissor Sisters will release an album...and some other artists I like will release a new album too (and I really hope that the Hidden Cameras will release a new album...)
Sooo, that's just random babbling...sorry about the lack of private details, I promise that I will write more interesting stuff the next time....
I'm going to bed now, otherwise I will write more dumb and boring stuff...good night,
