“All Yr Songs” is my indie song of the summer.

Diamond Rings is the electro-acoustic project of John O and his crew. Check out all their vids–they are clever, well-crafted and endearingly goofy.

I tried to get John O to tell me who “All Yr Songs” is about. Heh: Listen to him dodge my questions. He also tells me what he would do to change the look of UK electro queen La Roux, if she fell into his makeup chair.

Every once in a while a new act blows up, demanding everyone’s attention. This year it was Ellie and Ben aka La Roux. Sweet new wave-reminiscent beats and Ellie’s androgynous mystique –not to mention her powerful voice– have made her a star in the UK and an indie phenom here.

La Roux will be back in North America in 2010. Until then, you can check her out on itunes and listen to my tea with Ellie from La Roux.

La Roux on the interview show (Ahhhhhhhh… Uhm… Some interviews… uhm…  just …uhm… get away …uhm… from you, but I am still at my nerdy best, godammit!)

La Roux “Quicksand” (Mad Decent remix) (This remix was commissioned to help La Roux crack the North American market.)

La Roux “In For The Kill” (Skream’s Let’s Get Ravy Remix) (This one is Ellie’s personal favorite.)

Okay okay okay.

It’s back to school time and we need to get together to celebrate something. Soooooo the Winnie Cooper DJs are taking over the Metropole (aka the Met) in Gastown!

I’m gonna wear my best oxford shirt and we’re gonna play the funnest songs EVER IN THE WORLD. That means big time pop joints, cheese rock crowd pleasers, the best electro remixes, dancey indie jams, rap favourites, 90s…

This long weekend Sunday, round up some friends and shine up your dancing brogues. This will be super duper! Plus we’ll bring some candy and you can have a piece.

Dance Area – AA 24/7 (Diplo Remix)

La Roux – In For The Kill (Twelves Remix)

Naughty By Nature – Feel Me Flow

I overheard this… because the guy was talking to me:

“Yeah I like French house. You know, like La Roux and stuff.”

By that logic, Au Revoir Simone MUST be French too. Oh, and Phoenix are from Arizona.
