the griswolds - beware the dog
i love the indie party pop sound of these aussie boys! you can hear their musical references throughout the song, but when it's this happy, who the F cares!


george ezra - blame it on me
4th single off george's wonderful debut album 'wanted on voyage' which is accompanied by this funny video directed by roger guardia. nice one!


saint raymond - i want you
at only 19 years old, callum burrows (aka saint raymond) is definitely getting people buzzing over his music. it helps when the songs are as catchy as this one!


tove lo - not on drugs
we buzzed about the single a few weeks back and now here is the trippy video to accompany it!


lights - portal
what a pretty dreamy evening drive soundtrack of a song from the canadian chanteuse. is this your end of the summer anthem?

WONGIE INDIE DRAMA SONG OF THE WEEK: the temper trap - trembling hands

the temper trap - trembling hands
[you cannot tell me that lead singer dougy mandagi's voice doesn't border on caberet! it's his highly emotive vocals that just cuts through the rest of the band and offers something so dramatic for the fans. i'm not complaining, i just find it so alt to the world of alternative!]

WONGIE'S BEST OF 2009: #1-10

[as you can see, the top 10 features alot more pop tracks than the rest of the 'best of' list. these songs are not compiled for their 'cool' factor, but more for their songwriting perfection (hence how taylor swift and jordin sparks got so high, cause these songs are really pop perfection!) as for the rest of the 10, most are probably not major surprises if you're a fan of this site. as you can see, 2009 was an amazing year for music and i can only assume that 2010 will be just as exciting and eclectic!]

#2 Florence and the Machine – You Got The Love
