Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana continuou a ser preenchida de algumas propostas musicais que constam da minha lista pessoal das 40 músicas que mais curti em 2011. No entanto queria dar algum destaque ao tema "Jealous Guy" dos britânicos Monarchy, a uma nova banda chamada This Many Boyfriends com o tema

Oh Land's (@ohlandmusic) headlining performance this past Monday at Bowery Ballroom was my first time at the venue, and, while it took over an hour for me to navigate coat check after the show, the overall experience was great. For a photographer wanting to walk around and gain different perspectives, Bowery is perfect - a reasonably sized space with an appropriate capacity. Openers Savoir Adore (@savoiradore) definitely didn't disappoint. They spent little time between songs, instead staying intently focused on their music [...]
And so it begins. VillA, I think, is the first to drop a best of 2011 mixes and with the end of the year just around the corner, you can pretty much count on everybody to release their interpretation... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
Sure, Oh Land gave us one of our Top 10 Favorite Albums of 2011 and was named one of our 11 Women About To Pop , but that doesn't mean we're all about substance. To get shallow for a moment, there's no denying that the Abduction singer is a striking Nordic beauty. We've got our hands on exclusive pics of the Gym Class Heroes collaborator from photographer Diana Levine that do a stellar job of highlighting the pop star's amazing bone structure and general all-around gorgeousness is. In anticipation of Oh [...]
This has been a great year for music videos. 2011 saw Thom Yorke's seizure, Lana Del Rey's lips, and Tyler, the Creator's vomit. But none of those come close to what the lesser known artists -the ones with the most at stake- have created. Somehow, directors in countries like Finland are finding emerging artists in [...]

![THE NATIONAL, WHY?, FREELANCE WHALES [SUGGESTED NYC CONCERTS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3924189_lg.jpg)

by teepoo Rather than post you some stupidly generic list of albums you are supposed to expect, I think my top 10 is going to be based on the fact I actually listened to these releases the most this year. Come on , if an album is good, it must be one of your top plays right? These are based on stats according to iTunes and Last.fm plays as well as the fact I physically own them. I don't believe in people's top lists if they [...]

Nanna Øland Fabricius, the woman behind Oh Land , sells herself on being weird. The dream-pop Copenhagen native has a calculated weirdness, though—not quite as organic as her many cited influences, such as the irreverent strangeness of Bjork or the nonsensical images in Michel Gondry's 2006 film, The Science of Sleep . Instead, Oh Land's music is second to her young, blonde, very un weird Heidi Klume aesthetic. In turn, the artist's self-titled LP acts as a glitzy scrapbook of alternative music success stories instead of an original work (the record even includes a brief appearance from the electronic [...]

Did you miss Savoir Adore at our debut New Noise show last week? Well, consider yourself extra lucky that they're coming back this Friday as support for Danish songstress Oh Land at the Black Cat. We've said it before and we'll say it again: their latest track "Dreamers" is a serious contender for the best track of 2011. And if you haven't caught them before then classics like "Sarah's Secret" and "We Talk Like Machines" are sure to impress. The other, yet-to-be-named new material they play live is absolutely amazing too. We've got a [...]

And just like that, the live music scene in NYC picks up again, with a lot of great shows kicking off this week.

Since January, our ears have been privy to the latest LPs from several big-name pop stars, promising debuts from up-and-coming artists and noteworthy releases from overseas. Of course, there was also one juggernaut from a power-house Brit vocalist that shattered all expectations. Naturally, over the months, many of these have sound-tracked the daily duties we here at the Idolator office go about each and every week. And so, like at the end of 2010 , each of the three editors recently took it upon themselves to strap on their pumped up kicks and sift through the records [...]

Savoir Adore have promised a new album sometime in 2012, but before that happens expect a bit of touring for the band. 2011 will end with Savoir Adore hitting the road with Oh Land , which will include two New York shows on December 11 at Music Hall of Williamsburg and December 12 at Bowery Ballroom. Check out the full schedule of dates is below. Savoir Adore tour dates: Dates marked * w/ Oh Land Dec 1 - Washington, DC - Gibson Show Room [...]
This is the standout song from Oh Land's latest album. It deserves a huge video and a lot of media attention. So, we are glad to see the damsel not in distress about it. Filed under: Beats , Clip , Scandi Tagged: album , download , leak , live , new , oh land , single , White Nights
last week i had the jolly pleasure of chatting with the OH LAND . watch the interview as the Danish she-popper runs me through her musical inspirations and her appreciation for pop music, "sometimes there's some pop music i just can't deny. you know i have a thang for Rihanna. i have a pop heart as well. you can't just watch David Lynch films all the time as then you're just gonna go commit suicide." and we also obvs chat about music piracy where the OH LAND reveals that [...]

Oh Land s cover version af The National s Bloodbuzz Ohio har gået sin sejrsgang i musikblogsfæren på internationalt plan. Og det er ikke så mærkeligt. Det er nemlig et utroligt fint lille værk Oh Land har skabt. The Nationals sangskriver og forsanger Matt Berninger formår med sin dybe, mørke, melankolske stemme at fortrylle lytteren. Det samme gør Oh Lands stemme, men melankolien og alvoren er rykket i baggrunden til fordel for optimisme og sødme. De nærmest boblende elektroniske elementer bidrager yderligere hertil. Det er også som melodien kommer endnu mere til sin ret i [...]
This has got to be one of our favorite songs of the year. She does a good job at it while on tour. We know she is busy supporting Katy Perry on tour, but she needs to build more buzz because it kind of died down, didn't it?
