Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich mich noch nie so schwer getan habe wie dieses Jahr, eine - bzw. sogar zwei - definitve Top 10 zu erstellen. Und wie immer habe ich bestimmt wieder die Hälfte vergessen und entdecke einige der besten Platten und Songs von 2010 sowieso erst in zwei Monaten. Deshalb, wie immer, nur eine Momentaufnahme vom Abend des 19. Januar 2011. Morgen früh sieht es vielleicht schon wieder ganz anders aus. Das sagt last.fm Zahlen lügen bekanntlich nicht. Oder doch? Naja, [...]
It's the eighties-inspired promo vid for the latest single from melodic Swedes Elias & The Wizzkids, shot in glorious VHS-Vision. I bloody love this band! In the interests of shameless namedropping I'd like to point out here that Elias himself - owner of the finest moustache in contemporary pop - once signed our guestbook. Aren't we great?! (Oh.) Buy Elias & The Wizzkids stuff Sorry, but I simply cannot let this entry pass without linking to this, possibly the greatest summery pop hit & video combination [...]
Elias and the Wizzkids Elias and the Wizzkids - Waste of time (video) Rférences musicales : Le Sport, Black Kids, Cindy Lauper Elias and the Wizzkids - Waste of time (mp3) I confess I have never really been into Elias and the Wizzkids . I found their music too polished and nice. So, in more than four years of blogging, believe it or not, I have never dedicated them a post. Eventually, it [...]
Indieregissören Mats Udd är tillbaka med en ny video till Elias and the Wizzkids nya singel Waste of Time. Videon är inspelad med VHS-teknologi och dolby hi-fi ljud precis som på 80-talet, och det märker ni nog på den skarpa bilden. Tyvärr så blir ljudkvalitén rätt lidande med tanke på YouTube:s låga bitrate. Så köp singeln, eller kanske hela skivan på Klicktrack !

Elias & the Wizzkids - Waste of time

MP3: Elias and the Wizzkids - Waste Of Time Any of you IAT! readers know in my review of this record , I gushed rather vociferously over the new Elias and the Wizzkids album—and why not? It sure is deserving of such accolades, as their tackling of the pop-rock gamut is done exceedingly well and excruciatingly detailed. A real triumph, and here is the lead song from it—one to kick off the springtime in sunny fashion.
Cor, this is a bit good! Elias & the Wizzkids - Oh These Nights by HYBRIS Oh These Nights is the second single from Elias & the Wizzkids' new album Just Do It , which is out now on Hybris and available from Bengans Record Store (CD) or Amazon (download).

Indie pop is a genre that's so easy for me to fall in love with, but unfortunately also so easy for me to forget about. The bad thing about listening to a lot of music across many genres is you tend to get stuck in one genre for awhile, latching heavily onto it and tuning out the others until you remember, often quite suddenly, how much you loved a genre you'd been neglecting. The dancey, indie-pop track Oh These Nights from Stockholm four-piece Elias and The Wizzkids recently rekindled my romance with upbeat, innocent [...]

Innan NMB går på julölen igen ska det bara bjudas på lite mer nytt. Detta är Elias and the Wizzkids nya singel Oh these nights från kommande albumet Just do it , som ska släppas på Hybris i mars. Pepp! Elias and the Wizzkids - Oh these nights

En sak som är bra med julen är att folk tycker om ge bort saker, som denna nya låt med Elias and the Wizzkids. Denna härligt souliga poplåt är första singeln från albumet Just Do It , som släpps den 1 mars på Hybris. Nästa år kommer bli fantastiskt. Elias and the Wizzkids - Oh These Nights
I've really enjoyed two very different videos today, both brand new, both from Nordic artists. I want to show them to you. I'll start with the long one, a full documentary following the Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds from Iceland Airwaves to a full scale UK tour in October 2008. Highly recommended viewing, and if you haven't bought any of Arnalds' music yet, I recommend everything! Ólafur Arnalds releases his music on Erased Tapes Records , one of my favourite labels at the moment. The Sky May Be [...]
Mr. Right Guy es el nuevo single de los suecos Elias and The Wizzkids . Estupenda canción y divertido vídeo. Como propina y del mismo país, el tema Summerca t , canción de 2004 del sépteto Billie The Vision and The Dancers y banda sonora de un reciente anuncio de cerveza rodado en Formentera. * Elias and The Wizzkids-Mr. Right Guy * Billie The Vision and The Dancers-Summercat

I think Elias and the Wizzkids is one of the most underrated indie bands in Sweden. If you can get past the slightly accented English you'll find a pop band that plays sunny, catchy music. "Mr Right Guy" is an upbeat song about the perfect guy - possibly Elias himself. Not sure if it's ironic or on the up and up. Either way it's incredibly catchy with an almost Caribbean infectiousness. Riyl Montt Maride, Billie the Vision and Dancers, and I'm From Barcelona. Mr. [...]
Elias of Elias and the Wizzkids fame is feeling rather pleased with himself; and why wouldn't he be, frankly, with a new single as utterly, joyously infectious as this up his sleeve (and a cracking video to boot)! Elias & The Wizzkids - Mr Right Guy mp3 Buy EATW music

The above photo has to be one of my favourite things in the world at the moment. It's taken from the back cover of the autumn programme of events for a local theatre in the south east of England. The people in the picture are the staff of the marketing agency (let's call them Marketing Tools ) who are the main sponsors of the theatre in question. So far so humdrum. But what is it about the picture that has me so enthralled? Could it be the toothsome trio at the front (let's call them Binky, Toby [...]
