![[PLAYLIST] The Best Party Songs of 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4696095_lg.jpg)
2012 was a fantastic year for party songs. It seems that music is having more fun than ever and I couldn't be happier to share it with you all. We've all had some epic parties set to some epic party playlists and tonight is the night to top them all. (Or not, really. Nothing worse than NYE pressure.) So take a trip down the hazy cobblestones of party-song memory lane and get amped for the best party songs of the year. Download the whole 3-part Playlist HERE Phase 1 [...]
With all of the veritable chart fodder, auto-tune misdirection and overly used phrases & refrains dealt out over a collective amount of mainstream releases entering the UK Top 40 / Billboard Top 100 of late, it is with continued relief that tracks & producers like ‘I Love It’ and Style Of Eye help trailblaze an alternative avenue for real, credible music that will last for a lot longer than a mere year or an active trend. Arguably one of the few dance tracks of this past year that can be called a bonafide 2012 anthem, Stockholm’s Caroline [...]
Photo credit: Fredrik Etoall We are gearing up for 2013 here at MFR headquarters - a year guaranteed to overflow with great music and standout acts. One in particular to keep an eye on is the fun-loving Swedish duo Icona Pop . The pair of synth-goddess fashionistas, made up of close friends Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, have experienced a crazy whirlwind of success in 2012. They released the single "I Love It", written by Charli XCX and produced by Patrik Berger ( Robyn, Lana Del Rey ) which just [...]
10. Foxy Shazam - Holy Touch Carrying on the best of glam rock, this is the kind of over-the-top, stirringly produced single that doesn't come around much these days. 9. Icona Pop - I Love It They came out of what [...]
2012 began with me being lost in the proverbial music desert. I drifted from track to track with no real rhyme or reason. I longed for an album (like Fucked Up from 2011) that would just capture my attention and not let it go. On June 5th I got just that when The Japandroids' Celebration Rock came out. Through the summer I played this album religiously (not to mention loudly). Then fortune smiled upon me as, on October 9th, I got another album to capture me when Macklemore's The Heist hit the market. Along the way I [...]
Philly hip hop duo Chiddy Bang released their debut LP this year ( Breakfast ) and with it continue to produce some of the most fun and original hip hop out there. ♩Chiddy Bang - Mind Your Manners (feat. Icona Pop) [from Breakfast ] web // facebook // twitter // soundcloud // shows // iTunes Collaborations with the likes of RZA, Danny Brown, Ab-Soul, Beck, and even Tina Fey, have made [...]
When the fabulous ladies of Icona Pop invited us to hang backstage, we simply couldn't refuse — so we caught up with the Swedish duo at Terminal 5 in New York City just before their show. In addition to offering us hugs and snacks, Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt also shared with us their favorite album of 2012. What a shocker — the gals love Swedish-born music as much as we do! Watch as the "I Love It" sirens explain why they loved [...]

A nossa obsessão pelo duo Icona Pop não é de hoje. Desde o lançamento do primeiro EP das suecas, o Nights Like This , a dupla vem conquistando nossos ouvidos com seu som futurístico e ao mesmo tempo acessível, que este ano se desenvolveu ainda mais graças ao lançamento do EP Iconic , que trouxe o hit "I Love It". Para celebrar o fim de ano (e o nosso amor pelas garotas), iremos sortear aqui no blog DUAS CÓPIAS do EP Iconic autografados por elas , com uma [...]
Sometimes, I just feel like shooting. I made some last minute requests with venue people and mgmt. to get access into the Marina & The Diamonds show last night at Emo's , ended up getting to shoot Icona Pop . I caught a little of their set at Fun Fun Fun Fest . It was a party, a way too early in the day dance party. So what the hell, got done with a happy hour with photog friends and headed over to Emo's for some synth jams and dance party anthem noise. [...]
(photo by cubagallery ) These are 50 tracks that delighted, inspired and fascinated us in 2012 and that we think are worthy of remembering long after the year is over. We present them here in highly unscientific ordered list form, with Matt's songs marked with a "-MG" and my choices with a "-TJ" next to them. To better spread the love, we've stuck with the one song per artist rule. Click here to download all the tracks in a zip and subscribe to our Spotify Playlist to stream them all. Enjoy y'all! [...]
In the spirit of the holiday season, our writer's have a present for each and every one of us: their top picks for albums and tracks of the year. ...
As far as pop is concerned, 2012 may be remembered as the year that there were more exceptional EPs than albums. While we had to scrape to come up with 10 LPs we truly loved this year — at least, loved enough to feature in our Best Albums of 2012 list — there were more standout EPs than we had space to include. Call it an indication of the shifting music industry that the most promising artists have to drop EPs first to test the waters before they'll get the chance to shine on an LP, [...]

On HBO's Girls , music is the unseen fifth member of the ensemble, and the accompanying cuts are often just as au courant as the lead characters. So it's not surprising that Girls – Volume 1: Music From The HBO Original Series (out January 8) includes new tracks from Santigold ("Girls"), fun. ("Sight Of The Sun") and Tegan & Sara ("Fool To Cry"). The compilation also has energetic tracks from Robyn , [...]

On Santigold 's latest album The Master Of My Make-Believe , she might've been hit or miss and delivered a paltry second album compared to her debut, but she's just dropped this two minute bomb of a track that'll appear on the HBO series Girls soundtrack. The first season of Girls was jam-packed with kickass tunes and the second season is no different, featuring tracks from Icona Pop , Belle & Sebastian , [...]
