I think weeks should always start with a post of a picture of a young Christopher Walken. Just because. Also, my daily lyrics have a universal theme to them....but it's mystery. Just like the mystery that surrounds the weird feeling that you get just by looking at this picture. Go figure. Here's the weekly lyric of the day recap - "No one knows what the future holds. If we just hold on maybe life could be sweet" [...]

Oh, Atoms Genre: Acoustic / Folk Rock / Pop From: London, United Kingdom [...]
Oh, Atoms! with their version of Wham!'s classic Christmas love song ' Last Christmas '. You'll either love it or hate it. Personally, I prefer Oh, Atoms when they don't do covers . This cover is included in Where You Are Is Where It's At 's 2009 Christmas EP which is available as a free download at their site.

British label Wiaiwya - whose name I'll make no effort to pronounce - has a 4-song EP of Christmas tunes that you can download for free. Among the bands included is Oh, Atoms - who I wrote kind words about many months ago - doing their take on one of the better Christmas songs out there, "Last Christmas" by Wham!

But as the sitetracker shows, visitors and google searchers have been coming in for weeks with increasing frequency, looking for songs for their holiday mixtapes. [...]

Here I Stay Festival 2009 (cattivi!) Ma si può essere più cattivi di così? Organizzare a cavallo tra luglio e agosto un bellissimo festival in Sardegna, immerso nel verde e a pochi chilometri dal mare, mentre io sono ancora chiuso qui in ufficio. I nomi in programma sono davvero interessanti, a partire da alcune vecchie conoscenze di queste pagine come Strange Boys e Mahjongg , passando per ottime scoperte come gli inglesi Oh Atoms! e i francesi [...]

My always overdue list this week, comes as a result of some recommendations from friends and my craving for sweets - both the food and music kind. These aural treats are best enjoyed with a nice big slice of sweet chocolate cake or an icy cool popsicle or ice cream treat - which I think I need now - boy, is it hot today! 1. Architecture in Helsinki - The Owls Go This song reminds me of my sister, who's long been [...]
