wongie top songs of 2007: #30 shy child - drop the phone
shy child - drop the phone [link 2]
[this new york duo have been on the verge of "buzzdom" for the past year and though i've heard a gazillion remixes, the original (with it's silly lyrics) still gets me going every time. the song that just won't quit, maybe 2008 will be their year then...]

new video wednesday: rilo kiley, jose gonzalez, the bees, shocking pinks, the shins, new buffalo, wisely, the go team, handsome furs, shy child
hey guys, may i bring to you this massive batch of awesome videos that came out in the past week! so enjoy this big post while i go on a work related assignment through the weekend.
rilo kiley - silver lining [link 2]
[now this is more like it, the 2nd single off the just released under the blacklight album is pretty darn catchy (possible song of the week?). jenny lewis sounds amazing and looks fabulous as the runaway bride. thanks to spinner for the world premiere!]
jose gonzalez - down the line [link 2]
[swedish argentinian singer songwriter (that's alot of hyphens) jose gonzalez returns to our stereos with his upcoming long player in our nature. it's been almost two years since his last release and well, he's still as mellow and introverted as ever (in his case, that's a good thing!).]
the bees - listening man [link 2]
[i can't believe i missed this video two months back! it's like watching a wes anderson movie set to music. directed by dominic leung, this is easily my video of the week!]
shocking pinks - end of the world [link 2]
[originally developed as a side project for new zealander nick harte (the brunettes) has now become a full fledged buzz act now that hip label DFA have jumped on board to release his last two albums as one collection. i'm digging what i hear so far!]
the shins - turn on me [link 2]
[the most 'shins' sounding track off their last album wincing the night away. i'm surprised that it's taken so long to release (and a 3rd single to boot!), but better late than never right?]
new buffalo - cheer me up thank you [link 2]
[new buffalo is actually melbourne based singer songwriter sally seltmann's alter ego. with her sweet vocals and catchy pop tracks, it's always nice to discover something cool from aussie-land. taken off her 2nd album somewhere, anywhere, just wanted to thank to ifmv for the video tip!]
wisely - through any window [link 2]
[when the ever cool actress jenna fischer (aka pam beesley from the office) fawns over a band, she's pretty whole hearted about it. so much so that when california singer songwriter, willy wisely asked her to be in his latest video, she agreed instantly (even though 80% of it is through a bunch of polaroids which she happily posed for). told you she was cool! wisely's album parador is available through itunes.]
the go! team - doing it right [link 2]
[i talked about the go! team two weeks back and have nothing new to add, so here is the new video for their album proof of youth.]
handsome furs - cannot get started [link 2]
[yet another side project from an established band member, this time it's dan boeckner from montreal's wolf parade and his wife alexei perry. the duo, handsome furs, try to make as much beat driven noise with their music but through sparse instrumentation. i kind of dig it! check out their album plague park if you like what you hear too.]
shy child - summer [link 2]
[ny duo shy child continue to find buzz abroad with their nu-rave, rock, dance sound. noise won't stop is the album to find this latest gem (can you tell my brain is fried? see you guys in a few days).]

jools holland approved: adele, ben westbeech, cherry ghost, air traffic, shy child, richard swift, bellowhead
for the past 15 years, musician jools holland has been the bandleader and host to an amazing bbc musical program called later with jools holland. bringing together some of the biggest names in music mixed in with a collection of up and coming buzz acts, later has become THE show to be invited to perform on.
i've gathered some new and exciting artists from the most recent series that both you and i should really come to know:
adele - daydreamer (demo) (live on later with jools holland) [mp3]
[what a gorgeous voice!]
ben westbeech - so good today (yorba suite mix)
[smooth soulful vocals that deserve to be heard!]
ben westbeech - hang around
ben westbeech & dj die - get closer (lovers remix)
cherry ghost - people help the people (live on later with jools holland)
[can't explain this, but i'm obsessed with this song at the moment!]
air traffic - just abuse me (live on later with jools holland)
[any guy that plays the piano in a rock band is a plus on my side.]
air traffic - shooting star
shy child - drop the phone
[brooklyn in the house!]
shy child - the noise won't stop
richard swift - song for national freedom (live on later with jools holland)
[nice singer songwriter. gonna have to do more research of this guy]
richard swift - kisses for the misses
bellowhead - rigs of the times (live on later with jools holland)
[this is totally folky, but there's something about the gypsy style band that draws me in.]
