The event is aiming to inspire people in [...]

Montauk has been described as 'salon-luxury pop' which sounds like an amazing genre, and if that is how they are branded and eventually they begin the salon-luxury pop movement, well, we have last.fm to thank. They have sent me their newest single ' Holiday ', which has been my pleasure to pass on to you, including remix treats of Justin Faust & Visitor . Now everybody sing 'H.O.L.I.D.A.Y!' P.S. - Added bonus, Montauk 's heavily blogged remix of Titiyo - Drunken Gnome . [...]

Mother Nature is one crazy woman. On Friday I was complaining about the pollen situation where I'm at, but that pales in comparison to the havoc that the Icelandic Volcano has caused globally. We're on our fourth day of flights being cancelled, choas being caused, and people being stuck in places they don't want to be. On Friday there was a story saying that over 17,000 flights were cancelled as a result of the ash. That's a massive amount of flights that's going to cost the airline industry tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars. And there's [...]

It's been ages I last categorised a band as 'Sweet Swedes' but this one fits the description without a doubt. Holiday for Strings is a Swedish 5-piece band consisting of, among others, Pony from Thieves Like Us and John form Peter, Bjorn & John . They just got out their second album "Favorite Flavor" which is quite a dark album actually, but it has exactly the right amount of sweetness. Definitely worth checking out. While Two Of You is one of the poppier songs on the album, Unwilling / Not Able is [...]
Its seems like more and more emails pile up in the ol' CoS mailbox everyday. Of course, while this is bad news for us (the work day just keeps getting longer and lonnnnggeer), it's good news for you. Said emails often include links and streams to the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, and, because more emails means more links and stream, the length of our weekly Friday Mixtape also seems to growing beyond our wildest imagination. See, I told you it was good news... for you! Enjoy! (I'm going to now go and answer more emails). [...]

Hoy por la mañana desperté con una canción en la radio de una cantante sueca llamada Titiyo , a quien recordé que conocía por una canción "Drunken Gnome" y por la colaboración en el disco homónimo de Kleerup, en el track llamado "Longing For Lullabies". Ambas de mi agrado. Unas horas después checando de rutina el email, me encuentro con una promoción del sello sueco Despotz Records , quienes están celebrando y dando a conocer su primer lanzamiento en Francia. En el mail se ofrecía la descarga de un remix a "Drunken Gnome" hecho [...]

Sweden is the epicenter of pop perfection. This is a fact that will never change. Case in point: Moto Boy , and his album released today, Lost in the Call . Moto Boy's mournful coos and falsetto cries are nothing if not captivating, at times evoking Morrissey 's sad, solemn delivery ("When My Heart Was High"); at others a cross between a less theatrical Rufus Wainwright and a deeper voiced Jónsi Birgisson ("A Different Kind of Love"). Recorded in Malmö, Sweden, the ten romantic, haunting numbers of [...]

In tribute to the winter comes Tityo with "Drunken Gnome," taken from the recently released (Europe) album, Hidden . Drunken Gnome http://www.myspace.com/titiyo http://www.titiyo.com/

Just a 'lil freebie ( I'mafreebitchbaby ) for your morning! Before you get too excited, control yourself-"Drunken Gnome" is not an ode to Nicole "Snookums" Polizzi . (Although I wish it were, I guess I'll just have to keep dreaming about my fantasy release, The Snook Monster . A boy can dream.) What "Drunken Gnome" is, however, is a gorgeous album track off of Swedish chanteuse Titiyo 's Hidden , her fifth LP released worldwide toward the tail-end of 2009. This is a completely free Christmas present courtesy of her [...]

You may recognize her voice from Kleerup's single ""Longing for Lullabies." This single can be found on Titiyo's 2008 release titled, "Hidden". Heartbreaking track with cinematic flare and hints of Trip Hop flavor. Titiyo - Stumble To Fall

Στο τσακ τον προλάβαμε το Νοέμβρη.. 1. Destroyer - Chinatown [div] Ένα δωδεκάιντσο EP με δύο τραγούδια κυκλοφόρησαν οι Destroyer μέσα στο 2009, ήταν όμως τόσο σπουδαίο που έβαλαν ανεξίτηλη τη σφραγίδα τους και στην τελευταία χρονιά της δεκαετίας. Στην ηχογράφηση αυτή για το CBC Radio ο Dan Bejar μας χαρίζει ένα από τα τραγούδια που, λογικά, θα υπάρχουν στο επερχόμενο άλμπουμ του, ελπίζουμε μέσα στο 2010. Λέγεται [...]

![Titiyo & Moto Boy: If Only Your Bed Could Cry [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2106484_lg.jpg)
Titiyo 's deep vocals are dark and full of mystery. It doesn't matter whether the song is an upbeat Swedish electro-dance tune, as she often creates, or one soft with subtle, heartfelt melodies. Her latest endeavor, Hidden , is out soon on Despotz Records . It finds her collaborating with the likes of Moto Boy, whose Jeff Buckley style guitar/vocals mesh perfectly with Titiyo's for a sound that may be her most moving yet. The video, directed by Johan Tholson and Titiyo herself, finds the duo in a hotel elevator and is quite haunting. [...]
Here comes "If Only Your Bed Could Cry," yet another brilliant track off of Swedish delight Titiyo 's album, Hidden , which will be released in Europe later this fall and the US in 2010. Who knew the trials and tribulations of being a bell boy could have such emotionally draining effects? Then again, if everyone was walking around in Fever Ray -esque masks and making out in my elevator, I wouldn't be too pleased either. As with "Awakening" and "Crystal Clear Mud" before, "If Only" is a mercilessly [...]
This video is dope. Sent over from our friends in Sweden.
