Gold Panda - MPB

I keep repeating myself saying that "This-or-that artist, whose album this-or-that from last year was MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE album of the year, has now released a new track."
The way things are going it seems I've got loads of favourite albums of last year and they're all releasing new tunes.
Seeing as I didn't do an end of the year top-list you'll just have to take my word for it.

Anyway here I go again: Gold Panda whose album Lucky Shiner from last year was (one of) MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE album(s) of the year, has now released a new track MPB (mp3).

MPB by Gold Panda

MPB is basically just Gold Panda giving a xylophone a good hiding backed with a banging beat. Simple, but with astonishing results when done properly.

And just for good measure let's post his remix of Lykke Li's Sadness is Blessing, just because it's ace. Oh and because as everyone obviously knows, sadness IS a blessing.

Alas I shall be leaving you wonderful readers for a few days as it's midsummer in Finland and midsummer over here is yet another great reason to get completely shit-faced for three days (like you need an excuse). So in true Finnish spirit I'm either going to pass out in a sauna and wither away, crash my non-existant car into a moose or simply drown after trying to piss over the side of a boat. Looking at statistics it seems like whatever I do, I'll probably die.

So hey! Happy midsummer people.

Everyone, I need your help

Hello, I'm about to reveal a secret that not everyone knows. Yet.
I have an alter-ego. Yes that's right, as well as being this super awesome music blog guy, I also do normal day-to-day stuff.
During the summer that involves taking part in the runnings of the family business: a quaint little local shop in the countryside for local people. This is all fine and nice but I've just got the tinyest beef with what tunes the matriarch wants to plays in the café. All day, every day we listen to Radio Nova. It's what I like to call the parent-friendly, grand-parent friendy and great-grandparent friendly radio station. Not Thomas-friendly though.

Today, through the seemingly endless torrent of Laura Pausinis and Eros Ramazottis and Bruno Marses (how did this guy get so big?) I caught an advert saying that the top-200 most voted songs will be played on Radio Nova on midsummer's day ie. Saturday ie. the day i'll be really flipping hungover. So I want everyone here to make my day just that tiny bit easier and vote for something I want to listen to. How does that sound ladies and gents?

All we have to do is head over to
http://www.radionova.fi/ohjelmat/radio-novan-yo/Juhannuslista-Top-200-tulee-taas--Aanesta-suosikkiasi--21300.html


IT'S EASY! We can do this.
The only bits that need filling are the two first boxes:
Nimi: Your name
and the bit where it says: "Ehdota omaa suosikkia" you type in, um, I don't know how about, Gang Gang Dance - Mindkilla seeing as that's where we left off yesterday
and then just press 'Lähetä'

Brilliant. Thank you!
Everybody have a Gang Gang Dancey midsummer
