She's going in for the kill, she's doing it for a thrill. So La Roux is one of those new up-and-comers you keep hearing about no matter where you turn, having been featured in NME, Q, Blender and on countless blogs across the world. After having seen her face absolutely everywhere I decided to give her music a shot. As it turns out, she's not a she. No - she's not a [...]
Shake it up baby like you own the club, shake it up baby like you need the love. Yes, I am indeed going through an Ozzie phase at the moment. If I'm not listening to Van She (check them out over here), I'm grooving to the fine tunes of threesome - or possibly fivesome, I can never tell - Sneaky Sound System . If you, like me, are getting ready to go out and partay or [...]
![[NEW] Jay-Z: 'History'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1344618_lg.jpg)
Success is like lust, which is good for the touch. So I guess Jay-Z isn't planning on retiring any time soon after all. Lucky for us we have at least one more album to enjoy before he disappears off to the south coast of France to enjoy life with Beyonce and the kids. And no, I'm not actually being sarcastic for once: Jay-Z is by far one of the top rappers out there in my humblest of humble opinions. Here's [...]
Love's a boombox, turn the fader. You gotta love Ima Robot . This LA fivesome, formed all the way back in the noughties (the 90's, if you're not in the know), have created some freaking awesome tunes with some equally awesome and unusual lyrics. I stumbled upon them when looking for artists similar to my personal favourite Under the Influence of Giants (more about those guys here ) and have been listening to them non-stop since then. [...]
![[NEW] The Killers: 'Spaceman'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1344036_lg.jpg)
The song maker says "it ain't so bad", the dream maker's gonna make you mad. 'Spaceman' is the second official single to be taken from The Killers ' upcoming album 'Day & Age' . First up, what are your thoughts on the album cover art? I'm personally lovin' it like McDonalds (bit of viral brand marketing for you there) but I've heard that quite a few fans are feeling disappointed. In related news, we only have two weeks or so to wait until we can hear [...]
![[NEW] T-Pain featuring Justin Timberlake: 'Can't Believe It' Remix](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1343428_lg.jpg)
Man you don't understand she make the people say YEAHHH! As you probably know, I'm definitely not T-Pain 's biggest fan. Justin Timberlake , on the other hand, I can just about tolerate (douchey attitude aside). In other words, a combination of the two isn't the kind of sound that gets my ears creaming. I've received about ten e-mails requesting I post this track so I thought why not? I think I shall refrain from giving [...]
![[NEW] Britney Spears: 'Kill the Lights'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1343368_lg.jpg)
You wouldn't like her when she's angry. Shit... Madge just looks too hawt for words in that piccie. Click it for a closer view if you don't believe me. The manly muscles, unusually taut face and sexy face expression just scream "take me now!". Come on guys, you know you can't resist that body. Don't pretend. So yeah, Britney Spears joined her on stage last night at her show in LA for about 20 seconds of awkward "dancing" and a few attempts [...]
![[NEW] Chromeo: '100 Percent'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1343370_lg.jpg)
I won't let you go until you say please. As it turns out Chromeo 's '100 Percent' isn't as new a track as I thought (it was on their July-released album) but by web standards remains one that hasn't been talked about in great detail. To be blunt, it's pretty easy to see why: it sounds like a hybrid between a really bad 70's porn movie (not that I watch them or anything... ahem) and GTA Vice City radio. Don't get me wrong, [...]
You're up there, took the stairs, to the stars all alone. Have you ever come across Chicagoan (is that even a real word?) band Alkaline Trio ? If not, you're seriously missing out my friend. I've had a few of their tracks on my iTunes for ages but never really bothered to give 'em a listen until about two weeks ago. If dark lyrics about alcoholism, depression, love, drugs and death sound like your cup of tea you're in luck. Oh and forget that the dude on [...]
They tried to make him go to rehab but he said no no no. And now for something completely different - yet surprisingly homely (no, not homey). Someone by the name of Totom has mashed up Amy Winehouse 's 'Rehab' with The Killers ' legendary 'Mr. Brightside' . Aside from the weird choice of title which I admit put me off a bit, this track is quite simply excellent for the most part. I mean, [...]

I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin. I have to say that pic of the Keane boys, as much as I love 'em, kinda makes me lol. I can't quite decide why but I'm sure it will come to me eventually. Anyway, and moving on to undoubtedly more important topics, here is a stellar remix of their hit track 'The Lovers Are Losing' by Brazilian all-round hawtness CSS . Trust me, you WANT to [...]

She's running all the time, she's running blind. Ozzie-based Van She are the absolute shiz and after all, they've been described by their label as being "fresher than Flavor Flav , fresh like coriander, fresher than the Fresh Prince ". It really doesn't get better than that. Though I'm not 100% sure what being 'fresh like coriander' entails (and not sure I want to know either), these guys are most definitely one of the best things to emerge out of Australia in a long [...]
Nintendo been givin' me the blister. So after two weeks of being starved of hot, funky, fresh new muzak, I turned to none other than native Virginian Jason Mraz , whom, incidentally, is one of my favorite singers. Luckily my flatmate is pretty much as obsessed with the dude as you can get so I was able to get in touch with my own J-Mraz-obsessed self and really began to appreciate his tunes. And play some Nintendo, but that's a totally different story for [...]
Owned. Firstly, I never realized just how tough it is to keep a blog going and be at college/university at the same time. If you're not working (ha, yeah right - some wishful thinking there), you're partying your liver to death or plagued by a multitude of strange and never-before-seen illnesses that just won't piss off. In other words, running a blog suddenly becomes a surprisingly difficult task. That said, I'm looking forward to getting back on track after what- two weeks of absence? I've missed writing my crazy-ass ramblings, [...]
Old school bringing it back! I'm sure I could have chosen a more flattering and/or photogenic picture to use of Moby but I like to keep things simple here on the DILT and that's exactly what that photo is: simple and clean. Before we continue, I have a pretty shocking secret I'd like to own up to: the first time I heard his stellar track 'Ooh Yeah' was in an episode of - gasp - Gossip Girl . I can't remember what exactly the [...]
Didn't you love me faster than the devil? Maryland-based O.A.R. (short for Of a Revolution, which obviously sounds much cooler) are one of my favourite bands of all time. Fo' realz! Not only that, but 2005's absolutely outstanding 'Love and Memories' is by far one of the best indie/alternative tracks I have ever heard, mainly due to that certain aspect of nostalgia I readily associate with it. The guys have returned with a new album titled [...]
Someone far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless. Well doesn't that sound like a familiar story? I'm pretty sure everyone has lost their soul to some heartless girl/guy along the topsy-turvy road of life. And no, I'm not high - just feeling somewhat philosophical. More importantly, I want to know exactly what Kanye West and 50 Cent are thinking in the piccie above. Any ideas? I love how 50 is trying to look all hard whilst [...]
Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I'm lost. Okay, I was lying in the title of this post when I said that 'Lost' is a new track by the Coldplay boys. In case you weren't sure, the track was actually taken from their hit summer album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' . What's new about it is that it's been reworked to include a SWEET cameo by one of my favourite rappers Jay-Z . Watch as this one explodes! [...]
