musical gifts for you

it's been a slow week in the music world (at least for me), so rather than wait until something amazing kicks me in the face, i'm gonna pass on some stuff that have made my blip this week. enjoy!

justin timberlake - what goes around (sebastien leger remix)
[the remixes of the third single are in and the best of the bunch is a pretty sexy electro remix by hot dutch/frenchie sebastien leger. you're life won't change, but then again, you should have used up all your life changing resolutions during the 1st of this month]

kelly rowland - you will win
[yeah, it's cheesy, but tell me you're not kind of curious what she sounds like without powerhouse beyonce by her side]

starless and bible black - hermione
[i have to admit that i've never heard this manchester band before, but the simple atmospheric melodies remind me of early cocteau twins. it also helps that lead singer helene gaultier switches into french every once in awhile]

songs of green pheasant - pink by white
[definitely the best of the bunch, songs of green pheasant is actually duncan sumpner, a 30 year old singer/songwriter who sent out a CDR back in 2002 to the fat cat label but with a dodgy email address. 2 years later, he was finally tracked down and was surprised to hear that they wanted to release that demo as a debut album as is. this song is from his latest EP aerial days which also features a lovely cover of "dear prudence".

Wongie, I am not a Timbaland fan, but I like hearing JT's songs remixed. Any other mixes I would like?

The Pheasant dude is quite good!
