mariah carey - almost home geez... has it come to this for mimi? a sub-standard non-song that feels like it has nothing to do with mariah, instead it's more like she was just hanging out that day in the studio and they asked her to fill in. like the movie 'oz the great and powerful', it's belch... http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

sorry folks, but i gotta take a week off. will be back or will post sporadically if there is a massive video to share! remember to keep coming back! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

biffy clyro - biblical i always need to be reminded that the music of simon neil and his band biffy clyro is usually good to my ears (i just need to get over their hard rock persona that they've cultivated over the past decade). in fact, they actually craft really wonderful songs such as their current single taken off their UK #1 album opposites. with a catchy chorus culminating into a massive singalong, i'm definitely curious to check out the rest of the album now. don't say i'm not open minded! [...]

french montana feat nicki minaj - freaks actually, i'm not sure if the 'naughty' refers to the lyrics or the fact that nicki has her tata's out throughout the vid! i love how this video comes out right on the eve of her supposed bid for legitimacy (firing her creative staff / getting MUCH mainstream respect on idol), but then with a classic groove like this, who the F cares! wind down folks! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

eddi reader - vagabond written with the lyrics of english poet john masefield, eddi decided to write a song with her partner john douglas in conjunction with her current tour. loving the song so, she's decided to also offer it as a free mp3 for fans of her music (click on the download arrow on the soundcloud player). easily one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time, i truly hope that eddi will be releasing new material soon! this is a nice gem to bide my anticipation! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

little boots - motorway has it been 4 years since we last heard new material from good ol little boots? though the first single sounds insanely like st etienne (which is not a bad thing), the nu-disco sound is definitely an influence of producer tim goldsworthy (who founded DFA records) and features collabs with the people behind the disco loving hercules and affair. so get your fabulous mirror ball outfits out and get lost in this song! btw, do you love this track? get it for free at little boot's website ! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

peace - follow baby an older song re-recorded to coincide with their debut album 'in love', peace definitely have the indie music scene buzzing around their eclectic mix of rock and catchy chorus skills. cool vid also! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

matt & kim - it's alright how awesome is synchronized sleeping? directed by matt and his buddy jacob lincoln , you can always count of this fun duo to offer up something visually awesome! throw in a sexual kama sutra subtext and well, you've got the best video you'll see this week! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

alunageorge - attracting flies though this is definitely more 'mainstream' than their previous releases, this new single just primes the talented duo for bigger things (yet keeping the edge that made many of us love them in the first place). the song is dope and well, turn it up!! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

two door cinema club - next year ( rac mix) holy shizz, the rac folks have gone and remixed two door cinema club's latest single into a dreamy indie pop anthem that just brushes your face with it's warmth. pure genius and kind of better than the original in my book! wanna hear the original version? check it out below: two door cinema club - next year http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

jake bugg - seen it all our previous indie song of the week , gets a proper video, this time starring the awesome michael socha of being human UK. funnily enough, michael brings a supernatural element to his performance and well... just watch the video! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

yeah yeah yeahs - sacrilege they're baaaack! after a 4 year hiatus, karen o and crew return with a massive new single (which reaches fever pitch with a full on gospel choir!) leading up to their new album 'mosquito' in april. if the rest of the album is anything like this wonderful single, then we have a great new album on our hands! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

daughter - still ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your inevitable breakup song. the UK trio officially offer this moody internal gem as their 1st single, with lead singer Elena Tonra quietly singing against a spacious sadness with bouts of a wall of guitar. pretty darn cool if you ask me. http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

chvrches - recover yeah... this glasgow based electro synth pop trio of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty are pretty darn wonderful! making the kind of perfect 80's driving theme song soundtrack, chvrches was one of the finalists for the bbc sound of 2013 (they came in 5th) with their previous singles ranking high in the nme year end list. get ready to hear more in the coming months! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

olly murs - army of two the transformation into this generations robbie williams is almost here! this has the kind of swagger and insta-catchiness that robbie used to crank out in droves. this song leans a bit meh to me, but the guy is sure affable, and that is not a bad thing in pop these days. http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

the lone bellow - you never need nobody i think i may have found my fave new alt country, folk, americana band of the year! just listen to the crazy harmonies of Zach Williams, Brian Elmquist and Kanene Pipkin and i dare you to not get some happy chills from their performance! based out of brooklyn, this trio are primed for big things in the coming year. i'm SO looking forward to checking out a gig of theirs in the coming months! http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

kleerup feat loreen - requiem solution collaborating with last years eurovision winner loreen, kleerup brings us yet another hypnotic electronic ballad that will no doubt cement itself on our playlists for the coming months. though, i'm hoping that a more epic remix will be coming soon, this version will do just nicely thank you! like the song? check out this stripped down, string heavy live performance at the swedish grammy awards last week kleerup feat loreen - requiem solution (live @ swedish grammy's 2013) [...]
