Lucite Tokki


לוסיט טוקי (טוקי משמעו ארנב) חתומים באותו הלייבל כמו זיטן Pastel Music והם עושים מוסיקת שוגייזינג עדינה ומתקתקה. לדוגמה השיר הבא שנקרא Spring Sping Spring שיש לו גם קליפ אנימציה כל כך יפהפה ועדין:

הנה תרגום למילות השיר:

Blue skies, yellow air
It's the perfect place to talk
So obvious, rushing and becoming hestant
Even if it's a little boring, please listen
Your voice, your knees and eyelashes
Your everything, I like it all
Your cat, your house and mother
Your everything, I like it all
Your voice, your knees and eyelashes
Your everything, I like it all
Your cat, your house and mother
Your everything, I like it all
Blue skies, yellow air
It's the perfect place to talk

Zitten


את זיטן הכרתי לראשונה מהפסקול של הסדרה טריפל, הסדרה השניה שיצרה הבמאית של Coffee Prince, שיש לה אגב טעם מעולה במוסיקה.
הלהקה נוצרה ב-2004 והיא מורכבת בעצם משני בחורים, סונג יון-ווק ויון יון-ריו,
הנה שיר שנקרא By My Side:

Casker


קאסקר הם דואו קוריאנים שעושים מוסיקת לאונג'\אלקטרו-פופ מאוד מוצלחת. לי יון-הו הוא המפיק ולי יונג-ג'ין היא הזמרת. השיר הבא נקרא בערך זמן של אור Time of Light 빛의시간 והוא לקוח מהאלבום האחרון שלהם Polyester Heart שיצא ב-2008

לשיר יש קליפ יפהפה:

Mariée Sioux


למי שאוהב את Alela Diane כדאי לבדוק גם את Mariée Sioux :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPJk-202r0M

גם היא זמרת פולק אמריקאית. היא ואללה דיאן מכירות מילדות והן גם עשו מסע הופעות יחד.

Alela Diane - White As Diamonds


זמרת קליפורנית שעושה מוזיקת פולק יפהפיה שמזכירה מאוד מוזיקת פולק תמימה משנות ה-70.

זהו בעיני השיר הכי יפה שלה, ולמרבה המזל יש לו גם קליפ מקסים.

Jens Lekman – Night Falls Over Kortedala


עוד שיר שנשלף מהארכיון של 2007 הוא גלויה לנינה:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmq3GXsMcHM&feature=related

שיר חמוד עם מילים מקסימות.

Nina I can be your boyfriend
so you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is a sweet old man
but it is hard for him to understand
that you wanna love a woman
Nina I can be your boyfriend
if it puts an end to all this nonsense
First time I see you in Berlin
And you don't tell me anything
Until outside your dad's apartment

Oh God, Jesus Christ
I try to focus on your eyes
we're having dinner with your family now
keep a steady look at your left eyebrow

If it's raised, it means yes,
If it's not it means take a guess
Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs
I'm doing my best
can you pass the eggs

Your father puts on my record
he says: so tell me how you met her
I get embarrassed and change the subject
and put my hand on some metal object
He laugs and says that's a liedetector

he Takes out the booklet and starts reading
So i heard you're moving out next season
I say: Yeah, New York is nice that time of year
almost as green as it is here
He says: I thought you were moving to Sweden?

Oh God, what have I done?
i came to Berlin to have som fun
then it turned into buffalo 66
on your fathers wall a big crucifix
guess thats why he wont let u go
his catholic heart is big and slow
you know I'll do anything for love
but Nina what were you thinking of?

But Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is mailing me all the time
He says he just wants to say hi
I send back "out of office, auto-replies"

Nina I just want to check in
'cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Yours truly, Jens Lekman

Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way

of Montreal: The Past Is A Grotesque Animal


שיר לא חדש במיוחד (מ-2007) של להקה שבאה כמו R.E.M מאתנ'ס ג'ורג'יה.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWIwe4Bu86A&feature=related

The past is a grotesque animal
And in its eyes you see
How completely wrong you can be
How completely wrong you can be

The sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday
Makes you wonder why it bothered

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
Who could appreciate Georges Bataille
Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"
Discussing "Story of the Eye"

It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you
How can I explain, I need you here and not here too
How can I explain, I need you here and not here too

I'm flunking out, I'm flunking out, I'm gone, I'm just gone
But at least I author my own disaster
At least I author my own disaster

Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it
I'm just not available
Things could be different but they're not
Things could be different but they're not

The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
She gets hysterical because they're both so mean
And it's my favorite scene
But the cruelty's so predictable
It makes you sad on the stage
Though our love project has so much potential
But it's like we weren't made for this world
(Though I wouldn't really want to meet someone who was)

Do I have to scream in your face?
I've been dodging lamps and vegetables
Throw it all in my face, I don't care

Let's just have some fun
Let's tear this shit apart
Let's tear the fucking house apart
Let's tear our fucking bodies apart
But let's just have some fun

Somehow you've red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart
And nothing can defeat you
No death, no ugly world

You've lived so brightly
You've altered everything
I find myself searching for old selves
While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells

I've played the unraveler, the parhelion
But even apocalypse is fleeting
There's no death, no ugly world

Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you
Mythologizing me like I do you

We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic
Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
And you can betray me
You can, you can betray me

But teach me something wonderful
Crown my head, crowd my head
With your lilting effects
Project your fears on to me, I need to view them
See, there's nothing to them
I promise you, there's nothing to them

I'm so touched by your goodness
You make me feel so criminal
How do you keep it together?
I'm all, all unraveled

But you know, no matter where we are
We're always touching by underground wires

I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
And none of our secrets are physical
None of our secrets are physical
None of our secrets are physical now
