just jack feat kylie minogue - i talk to much
[link 2]

[you are not imagining things, kylie minogue has indeed contributed some accompanying vocals to the now-classic just jack single "i talk too much". easily one of my favorite songs off the 2006 overtones album, this new version is part of the repackaged US release coming out on august 28th. the album rocks, so go out and get it will ya?]

best of 2007: fave acts so far (1/2 year report)

this has been an amazing music year so far with new stuff coming at me daily (much that i've shared back to you). but amoung the batch, a few acts have filtered through and kept on returning to my personal playlists.

since it feels like such a slow week, i figured now is probably the best time to re-introduce some of the artist highlights of 2007 from january to june (in no particular order):

[for friends and fans of wongie, you probably know the class of 2007 (so far) pretty well. but for the rest of you, hopefully you can discover some gems from the list below. also you may have noticed that wongie faves mika, amy winehouse, gossip and lily allen aren't here (since they were loved in 06, i kind of took them out of the lineup just cause i'm a stickler like that!)]

tracey thorn - raise the roof
siobhan donaghy - ghosts
just jack - i talk to much
loney, dear - saturday waits
peter bjorn & john - young folks
feist - my moon my man (boys noize remix)
rufus wainwright - sansoucci
rihanna - rehab
glen hansard & marketa irglova (ONCE the soundtrack) - falling slowly
lil mama - lip gloss (absorb the lip gloss mash up remix)
kate nash - foundations
mia - boyz
cherry ghost - 4am
sara bareilles - love song
a fine frenzy - almost lover
roisin murphy - overpowered

more new videos: cherry ghost, keren ann, just jack

cherry ghost - people help the people [link 2]
[as i mentioned a few days back, this is on serious loop for me the past few days. maybe it's the simplicity of the song, or the fact that it's little slice of americana channelled through a band from manchester. can't wait to check out their debut album thirst for romance next month!]


keren ann - lay your head down
[looking at her myspace page, frenchie keren ann is now an official new yorker. maybe that's why this song sounds very velvet underground-y to me. check out the 1st single taken off her self titled album. also, thanks to brooklyn vegan for the tip]


just jack - writer's block (seamus haji remix)
[a re-release of this wonderful single, now set to the remix of seamus haji. i'm kind of a fan of the original, but if this means more mainstream success, then so be it!]

remix baby: just jack - writers block (seamus haji big love remix)

just jack - writers block (seamus & haji big love remix)

[seamus haji seem to be everywhere these days! the indian/irish remixer is also becoming quite the producer with the single booty luv in the top 10 this week. this time around, he creates a nice low key housed up number on one of my fave uk singer/rappers of the moment. boogie-licious if you ask me]

video of the week: just jack - glory days

just jack - glory days
[cute, simple and literal (with dance choreography thrown in!) i just want some of those cool t's featured in the video!]
