ok this is the best thing i've ever ever ever seen everyone watch immediately

Indila - Parle à ta tête (Official Music Video)

This track just came out and I’ve already listened to it ten times in a row:

I’ve had this bittersweet synthy little ear worm in my head for the last few days. The line ‘is there someone there with you?’ always breaks me a little inside.

The triumph of power metal, alchemy and alto voices!

My friend claimed he could play Flight of the Bumblebee and accompany himself. Then he did this.

Can anyone honestly think of a better trilogy of original hit/hit cover/hit cover than "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by The Supremes, then Vanilla Fudge, and then Kim Wilde? Went from catchy uptempo Motown pop-soul, to a groovy psychedelic rock ballad, and then dancy 80s new wave synthpop. All complete bangers.

i've never even HEARD of vanilla fudge before but I kind of dig it?

(Link to them actually having a bandcamp album but not THAT album because that was a long time ago!)

This Mortal Coil - It’ll End in Tears (1984)

Forty years ago today, on October 1, 1984, It’ll End in Tears, the first album by music collective This Mortal Coil, was released. The brainchild of 4AD label head Ivo Watts-Russell, the informal collaboration of 4AD label mates featured members of Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Colourbox, the Wolfgang Press, Howard Devoto and others. The album reached number 38 on the UK albums chart, but its two singles—Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren” performed by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins and Big Star’s “Kangaroo” performed by Simon Raymonde and Gordon Sharp—were quite successful. Both were top 3 tracks on the UK Indie Chart with “Song to the Siren” spending an impressive 101 weeks on the list. The label would expand the roster to include representatives of more bands and eventually release two more albums—all three are considered dream pop classics.
